It had been rumoured for a few days, but today came confirmation via The Croydon Guardian that the club will return top playing in white shirts with a red and blue sash coming across from the left shoulder.

Personally I would have liked to have had red and blue stripes at home and this as the away kit, as then I would have happily bought both kits (yes, I know, I’m 32 years old, I should know better), but at least it is a traditional Palace kit, and I for one like it. I’m looking forward to wearing it, and hopefully seeing us be successful in it.

By the way, you don’t know how much I appreciate being able to refer to the word sash without any kind of sectarian connotations. Wunderbar!
