I'm not really one for fashion or indeed form over function generally. Still, that doesn't mean that aesthetics doesn't have its place and when it comes to football shirts we have a huge industry pump9ing out designs every year....So there's a lot out there. So the question is what's been your favourite Palace shirt design over the years and what's your favourite team shirts for other teams. For me, with Palace it's always going to be that home 1979 shirt that horizontal design against a white background....though I liked the design in 1972-1973 as well. For other teams I have an affection for England's 66 red and the dark blue of Chelsea in the seventies was always striking.....as was most of the country at the time.

Palace were always the Sash for me. I do like the black away kits too - which I tend to buy when they're reduced at the end of the season. I don't think they're that original but black tends to hide the belly and look somewhat cool. I've never particularly been bothered by the shirts of other teams except to dislike them. I can think of some terrible kits from Man U and Liverpool. Kits get terrible with garish designs and lozenges, squares, diamonds etc in silly shades of orange or green or something. I prefer it when teams stick to their traditional colours. So the current Man U and Liverpool home kits are fine. Obviously, Brighton tops are shyte. If I were to say any other tops then I guess the light blue Man City ones are OK, but I would never wear a shirt of a team I don't support. Red and Blue Army!

When are we going to get that back on a home shirt?....it's been ages. I agree complex coloured/shaped designs seem a bit pants on a football shirt. Yep, personally I'd only wear a Palace or England shirt. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

The away shirt is great...I'll always see the Palace as the sash...but as you say that's probably due to us having experienced that era of Palace. Back when it was all in black and white.

Originally posted by CPFC1965 The famous Brazil Yellow and blue shorts combo of early nineties and black away I remember Barnsley going up and I think they were the first team to go 'Brazil' (obviously other than Brazil themselves). It was fun then, as they played attacking and got relegated for it. When we did it, I thought it a little embarrassing - it had been done and we really didn't play like Brazil or even Barnsley. We played more like Wimbledon with a hint of defensive ineptitude and poor fitness thrown in. I suppose in some ways - that is a bit like the current Brazil side. Red and Blue Army!

I doubt we will ever see a sash first shirt again as it does not sit well with a nice big bold overseas betting sponsor on the front. Look at Southampton who have a sash home shirt. Its all about money. On the assumption home kit is worn more and sells more they want a nice big walking billboard that shows up on TV. Fan opinion doesn't really matter.
