Manufacturers don't want logo on Palace shirts.....

[Butch Willykins]

Seems Palace want to go off piste with their kit next season and will be 'making' their own shirts.

'The club have been asking fans to help them choose a designs for the club’s crest, which is being changed for reasons including the fact that the current badge is not easy to reproduce on the club’s shirts due to its complexity.'

what the f*** are they on about!

That article doesn't make any sense, they say they want a bespoke kit but that suppliers won't make enough of them to be worthwhile, but they will make them without a logo? I know we'd like to think that we'll always sell more shirts than them, but we have 2 bespoke kits at the moment, we had bespoke kits for the last 2 season, and we sold enough to be worthwhile, why wouldn't their manufacturer be able to make bespoke for them?

In other words their new designer can't quite manage it in MS Paint

I guess the main kit suppliers have standard templates which they flog around the world, just using different colours. The likes of Nike, Adidas, Puma etc prob are interested in moving away from those templates. The smaller companies probably see them as a credit risk that could knock them at anytime!

I would want payment upfront before doing anything for clubs with a history of administration.

Good on them for trying something a bit different.

That said, the badges are all SHIT

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Maybe they could get the kits made by Sports Express.

Seriously, is C a piss take?
It looks like one of those badges you choose for your fantasy team on Fifa.. only worse

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

Why are they struggling so much to get a badge and a shirt made up, FFS. Not exactly rocket science.

 

[beorhthelm]

didn't they have a poll to decide one of those badges last year?

 

[cloud]

They had six badges to choose from last year. Now only four.

Yeah, officially 3 people voted but they accredited it to all season ticket holders.

Have seen a few[ if not the same as B very similar] stuck up near East Croydon station
Think it may be something to do with their ultras

Heard they left it upto the selhurst 8

On the forums 90% of people voted for a badge that wasn't one of those 4. CPFC2010 really listening to its customers so instead they're looking at amerincan twaddle.

When they've only got to make 8 shirts they can make their own on their Mum's sewing machine.

I can't choose between the MLS one and the PIGEON.
