Crystal Palace FC Kits
Find here the Crystal Palace shirts and the official Eagles collection: red and blue striped home, away, in adult and child sizes.
The south London club is dressed by Macron, an Italian brand that is very prominent in the European club market.
Crystal Palace, the club from south London
Palace is one of the most charming London clubs, long overshadowed by the big names of the capital before establishing itself firmly in the Premier League. The club won its first major trophy in the FA Cup, a victory that had been awaited for over a century of existence.
Selhurst Park, with around twenty-five thousand seats, is one of the loudest stadiums in the English league. Its Holmesdale Road stand hosts a well-known kop across the country for its atmosphere, inspired by continental supporter cultures.
The club is also famous for producing and attracting spectacular wingers, giving it a following that extends beyond its natural fan base.
The red and blue stripes
The home shirt of Crystal Palace is vertically striped in red and blue, a combination adopted in the 1970s in reference to FC Barcelona, which was then a model for the club.
The eagle on the crest, perched on a ball in front of the Crystal Palace, gives the club its nickname of Eagles. A live eagle even soars over the pitch before home games.
Home or away: which one to choose?
The home shirt is the red and blue striped one from Selhurst Park, the one most supporters buy and that remains identifiable long afterwards.
The away shirt starts with a solid base each year, often light or dark depending on the collections. It's the one that's easiest to wear outside the stadium.
Supporter version or player version?
The supporter version has a straight, looser fit, made from breathable but soft material. This is the one worn at the stadium as well as in the street, and the default choice if you’re unsure.
The player version, known as authentic, reflects the on-field kit: body-hugging fit, technical fabric, different finishes. It is noticeably more fitted, to the point that it's common to take a size up.
What size Crystal Palace shirt should you get?
In the supporter version, your usual t-shirt size works in most cases, with enough room to wear a layer underneath.
In the player version, count on one size up at a minimum. Macron sizes follow Italian standards, often a bit more fitted than Anglo-Saxon brands, so it's worth taking a look at the size chart.
For children, the junior sizes follow age and height in centimetres rather than adult sizes.
Printing: name, number and badges
The official printing for the Premier League has its own typography, different from that used in European competitions. This is what distinguishes an official customisation from an approximation.
A personalised shirt can no longer be exchanged, so the size should be checked before ordering. And the name of a player is a long-term bet, especially in a club that regularly sells its best players.
Other Premier League clubs
The English league is the most followed in the world, and every club has its page:
- Chelsea FC, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, the other London clubs.
- Liverpool FC and Manchester United, the two most successful clubs in England.
- Manchester City and Stoke City complete the selection.
The other clubs page covers the rest of the league, and the Premier League page brings them all together.
Where to find a cheaper Crystal Palace shirt
The promotions in the supporters' shop gather current discounted kits, while the new arrivals show the latest collections.
The clearance sales and the good deals run all year round on end-of-line items. The sales take place during the legal periods.
The Black Friday kicks off the series of key moments, followed by the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, and the French Days in spring. In a club with shorter series, availability often matters more than the schedule.
