Crystal Palace unveil new 2020-21 kits as chairman Steve Parish reveals supporter came up with design
Crystal Palace have released their home, away, and third kit for the 2020-21 season.
Modelled at Selhurst Park by Jordan Ayew, Christian Benteke, Luka Milivojevic, Tyrick Mitchell, Jairo Riedewald, Jeffrey Schlupp and Joel Ward – as well as new signing Nathan Ferguson showing off the home strip – the three eye-catching kits follow a symmetrical design pattern for the first time since the promotion campaign of 2012-13.
Eagles chairman Steve Parish said: “I was immediately inspired when I saw the concept from a supporter who had shared designs on Instagram, with perfect synergy across all the kits for the upcoming season.
“Working closely with PUMA and our design team at Crystal Palace, we believed these were the designs we had to bring to life, and I’m proud to say we’ve done so.
“We haven’t produced a shared design across shirts since our memorable promotion season in 2012-13, and there is no better campaign to honour in our eighth consecutive season in the Premier League.
“I fully believe these kits are bold and eye-catching enough to captivate both current supporters and new ones – wherever they may be – and I look forward to seeing the team wear them throughout the upcoming Premier League campaign.”
The design and colour scheme follows a shared pattern, as the club and its supporters state ‘These Colours Unite Us All’. The style sees red or blue arrows rise up to the chest, with the primary kit colour used across the majority of the shirt, shorts and socks. Sticking with the core colours of 2019-20, the home shirt is red and blue, the away kit white, and the third kit black.
The PUMA designed kits are available to pre-order now.
