Watching Aston Villa v's West Ham on Saturday the West Ham strip reminded me of the home shirts of the 50's early 60's. White with a Claret and Blue hoop just off centre with the Palace badge in between them and wondered how many of the supporters would suggest going back to that style with the away strip of white with a Red & Blue sash across or using the home strip of today for the away strip.

I think the home and away combo we have at the moment is near perfect. I realise that kit is more 'original' but it just plums us with Aston Villa and even worse West Ham colours, I'd rather see it again as an away kit or third kit.

When I first starting going up to Selhurst we wore the claret shirts and blue sleeves ala WHU,AV and Burnley.We moved on to white shirts with C & B trim,the C & B Johnny Byrne hoop then many other variations of claret and blue until then gradually moving towards Red and Blue.
Whilst I agree with the OP as it goes back to our original colours which is great to see and takes me back to my younger days,I kind of like the red and blue now.Our present colours,and recent combinations of kit,are almost unique to Palace,Dagenham & Redbridge aside,and I am quite happy with our strip now.

However,I think it would be nice in future seasons to go back to past kits and replicate them as our away strips.

Whatever the colour - and if it is red and blue stripes
make red the predominating colour otherwise it comes over as muddy purple on TV - I'd like to see a return to collars. The current England shirt is about the only decent thing about the team! As for this year's away sash strip - I'm not a fan. I think it looks better
as it was on the Errea strip two season's back with the stripe running the opposite direction.
As this is the Nostalgia thread I still think a variation of Claret & Blue is nice. After all, we got this from Villa when we were formed but present variations used by Burnley, Villa and the Hammers aren't that special - except perhaps West Ham's away shirt this season with the hoops ...

The palace strip when I first started supporting them (1959) was the white shirts with a claret & blue hoop, black shorts & black & white stripe socks. As a kid I longed to own one but of course in those days they didn't sell replica shirts, managed to get one about 30 years later and still love it.
