Away B. Fair enough, it's just last year's United kit in a different colourway, but at least you can't buy it off a teamwear company like A (the current Premium Brasil shirt).
Away B is a missed opportunity. Imagine the shirt white with the V blue and red. Would be a template but orginal and traditional.
That's the problem for non-Premier League teams and the big sports companies, they won't bother designing anything unique.
Typical American assuming any team that isn't American or in the Premier League is small, I'm sure that Crystal Palace are Bigger than probably half of the MLS teams put together
also its Foootball NOT soccer!!!
Soccer came from the Brits, look it up!
Second, Palace is probably much larger than any MLS club can hope to be right now, considering the oldest clubs are around 15 years old (30+ if you count the Timbers and Sounders NASL days). However, they're current standing in the English Football League tiered system cannot be denied, nor can their [lack of] global appeal. Most people outside of England know that Crystal Palace was in the Prem for a season (maybe two...) and that's it.
Third, your point about the away shirt being a missed opportunity is spot on, it would've been nice to see a little bit more than slapping a Palace badge on some off-the-rack away shirt, but Timbers Army has a valid business (not xenophobic) point, Nike probably wasn't involved because it would take too much time and money to do that for Palace, Charlton Athletic, Doncaster, Fleetwood Town, Notts County, Oxford United, Scensoredhorpe United, Fulham (when they were with Nike), etc. etc. ad nauseum. Let's not forget all of the lower division sides in France, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Scotland, Holland, the Ukraine, and more.
Plus you could say they are honoring some traditions going with the gold which is reminiscent of the 1963 Lucky Gold Away shirt.
P.S. - You just got owned by an American.
Home A and B arent that nice
Away shirt: A, but it would have been better with blue or red instead of green.
Away kit B is decent but that's not saying much
Take a Brazil kit and slap Crystal Palace logo on it.
Take a Manchester United GK kit and slap a Crystal Palace logo on it.
I love Nike but if I worked for Crystal Palace I would be telling Nike to take these kits and throw them in the trash. This is embarrasing.
Away A
Away - neither! How about white with blue and red halved chevron? Only my own opinion mind!!
yep...think manchester united would of been the team i used it to compare to but hey! who am i to judge!
We're not even halfway through this season yet!!
Home kit B is better out of the two but that's not saying much.
Palace has had a tradition of Brazil themed away kits so I would go for Kit A. B looks like a rip-off outdated template used for Man Utd. Would have made a decent Watford shirt though
home B ok

Nike a are a bit pissed with Palace over this seasons Away kit as they've only sold 1000 after making 5000 so it's back to off the peg kits.
Home kit A is in the poll for the 3rd year running, Nike must have a limited number of stripe designs.

correction - 1001 - I bought one today
I struggle to believe that. I would have thought even Dagenham would flog 1000 shirts, Dagenham only get 1000 or so, but 1/3 where shirts, and lots of people only attend odd games, or buy the shirt without going.
That said, if the shirts don't sell, maybe Palace will stop changing them every year, and change every other like the Daggers
Away A - 'It's just like watchin brazil'
For some reason, I can't stand Nike's "chevron" template design. Puma has been much classier in pulling it off with teams like Girondin de Bordeaux..
Dear Cristal Place
Could you please tell us which kit you would like for next year:
The same as this year, the Barcelona shirt, the Brazil shirt or the Manchester United goalkeeper shirt.
We look forward to your decision and will then give you whatever we like!
Away-B

What is wrong with this season's away kit - use it as our home kit next season if the supplier wants to give fans what they want.
Here the choice is a zero sum game for us supporters. There is a red and blue kit for home to choose from. And a yellow kit for away top choose from.
All the kits are from other teams. I am actually embarrassed at the blatant attempt of CPFC to make fans buy such utter crud. Whatever contract we have with the kits - end it. I know most PALACE FANS FEEL LIKE THIS PLEASE POST HOW ACTUALLY CRAP THIS CHOICE IS.
Away B
Away A looks like a keepers jersey???

Either away kit.
C'mon you Eagles :) Play well in these kits.
we should have these shirts! V
