[Football] New Kits Thread - Season 22/23

[Surf's Up]

I’d love that! I never have cared which shade of blue we have. I also like the palace away one

You're being ironic of course

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Palace's away kits nearly always look better than their home kits, even if that's probably faint praise. I can't get on with red & blue stripes, or halves, or diagonals, whatever it is they choose.

My mind goes back to the seventies when they had an almost West Ham, claret and Blue vertical with a yellow line down the middle, or something like that, my mate had the shirt, don't ask me why?

The plain blue adidas shirt was from 1980-1983. Then we had a reasonably plain adidas shirt with white and red pinstripes. Between 1985-1987 we had a blue adidas shirt with 3 horizontal bands at the top and horizontal pin strips on the main body of the shirt.

Good point, my first Albion game wasn't until 1983/84, the year after we reached the FA Cup final, the shirt l refer to was our last Adidas one of the late 1980's, three horizontal bands etc.

If memory serves me correctly we wore an indentical shirt but in red, along with red shorts and socks as our second choice kit that season. I also seem to recall that it was either our last season being sponsored by Phoenix Sports, or our first by Nobo.

So this is our new away kit, is it Danny?

That was the Man Utd kit on the 7th May.

I'm sure I read somewhere way back that the Nike deal actually expires tomorrow. Maybe a new manufacturer announced?..

Umbro or Castore is my guess.

Can't stand Umbro kit and like Castore even less. Actually I think I'd rather keep Nike than either of those.

85/86 it had Phoenix Brewery, 86/87 it had NOBO.

Just googled it and you are right. We signed a three year extension which ran to the end of this season. Perhaps it runs out end of June and a new kit manufacturer and launch will be announced 1 July.

Considering the club have announced that the hyper turq shirt will be the third shirt next season I doubt we will have a new supplier. Happy to be proven wrong though as I really don’t Nike’s bland template kits at all.

I’ll put a few quid on it remains as Nike.

Oops, just seen link above.

That doesn’t mean we’ll have a new supplier though. As I said, the club have announced we will use the hyper turq shirt as our third shirt next season and I believe the colour and sleeve pattern is a Nike exclusive.

Shame they only have it in kids sizes as I'd have been very tempted by that.

It's interesting that the club trialled an old for new shirt swap scheme a few weeks ago.
I wonder if that scheme has been put in place to offer anyone a new hyper turq shirt made by a new manufacturer for the new season?

The silence from the club about the release on next season's kit has been deafening.
I still think there is a good chance we could be changing our manufacturer.
Although if that is the case the club have done well to keep it under wraps.

New training kits, seen in the video released by the club today, are Nike.
