Stripes or no stripes

[Dougie]

Just to give you something else to think about , how would you feel about having a new kit without the stripes ? They've just shown our new kits for the coming season and most palace fans are having a meltdown ( not on your scale ) about the doing away with our stripes ! Be honest how would you feel ? The away is fine and is pretty much liked across the board but the home ? ,well , tell me what you think ?



The bottom one is with stripes added

Your kits are always ghastly.

Doubt you will get to many positive comments on this site.

Sorry, can you re-read this and make it intelligible to English speakers, as most of us do not understand gibberish



Is it the away kit you like, or the away kit you dislike,

Meh

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Where is the new kit thread this year ??

 

[Dougie]

If Tony decided to replace your stripes how would you feel ?

Should revert to the team of the 80s kit

 

[GT49er]

Didn't you have a kit that wasn't stripes back in the 60s/early 70s?

 

[Caveman]

Doubt you will get too many positive comments on that shite.

Edited for you.

Personally I quite like it as a kit and think it looks pretty good. But I'm not a palace fan so have no personal attachment to it.

However

If our club did something similar and did away with the stripes (like they NEARLY did with our last Errea kit, the first with Amex sponsorship when it turned to 2 big stripes)

I will have another hissy fit and not buy it as it's losing our identity. Same as your lot are probably feeling. The last time I remember a team getting rid of their traditional stripes was Southampton when they were promoted back to the Prem. Think it only lasted that season and changed back.

Who is the small child modelling the kit?

Ha ha kit nicely edited with paint too

To be fair, I wouldn't like to revert to our early 80s Chelsea-lite all blue strip.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't such ghastly bright shades of blue and red, also it's made by Macron so naturally is non-league in design.

I would be gutted if we had a similar kit.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I wouldn't be outraged if we had something like this...

 

[Nixonator]

I wouldn't like it personally, it's definitely an identity loss. Less so with you lot as your colours are identifiable without the stripes, but still.

If we did something similar it'd end up looking like some horrendous Wigan kit from 10 years ago or something.

 

[Bozza]

Good question that merits a reasonable response, I feel.

I don't know enough about the history of your kits to talk with qualification on how that fits with heritage and tradition. However, I'll take if your folk aren't happy, then it's probably not in keeping.

This shirt is probably the closest to us losing the stripes in recent times...



...although in the early - mid 80s we pretty much dropped them and turned solid blue, with various twists.

Now though? We are blue and white stripes and I'd be very upset if we changed. As would you, surely, those Tesco bag jokes nearly write themselves.

god damn .. call me a hypocrite because i love that.

Maybe I was put off by the red & blue
