Following the launch of the new ‘Away’ kit last month, Crystal Palace FC – a historic English club, also known as the world’s oldest professional football club, and now set to begin its tenth consecutive season in the Premier League – has unveiled its new ‘Home’ kit, designed by Macron. The tradition of the ‘Eagles’ home shirt is enhanced by an innovative graphic design with a distinctly artistic flair.
The new ‘Home’ shirt, a crew-neck design with a white trim and fine red-and-blue stripes, features vertical red-and-blue stripes, including on the sleeves and the back. The design that characterises the shirt is a distinctive graphic effect featuring brushstrokes of colour. The back of the neck is personalised with the club’s colours, logo and the acronym CPFC (Crystal Palace Football Club). On the right-hand side of the chest, in white and with a silicone print, is the Macron Hero, the Italian brand’s logo; on the left, over the heart, is the Crystal Palace FC 1861 crest. The word ‘EAGLES’ is printed in white on the back of the neck.
The home kit, like the English club’s other match kits, has been produced by Macron using Eco-Fabric, a 100% polyester made from recycled plastic and certified by the Global Recycled Standard. Crystal Palace’s new match kits represent a truly ‘green’ choice, made in partnership with Macron through eco-sustainable production, sending a message of care and awareness regarding environmental issues and the protection of the ecosystem.
“Our performances at Selhurst Park have been the cornerstone of our success in the Premier League, and I can’t wait to see the team take to the pitch wearing these new shirts, with their striking design that adds yet another modern twist to our traditional colours. – said Steve Parish, chairman of Crystal Palace – ”As we enter our tenth consecutive season in the top flight, I am confident that the team will help create new and fantastic memories for our supporters by wearing our famous red-and-blue home kit.”.
“It is a thrilling moment to unveil the new ’Home‘ shirt for such a historic and iconic club. – said Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron – The home shirt represents something special, both for the players and the fans, and unlike any other kit, it is the calling card that makes a club instantly recognisable to everyone who sees it. For this reason, in line with the club’s wishes, our design team has sought to add a modern touch to a club that dates back to 1861 and to all the history and tradition it embodies.’.
The new home kit features a Body Fit cut for players and a Slim fit for supporters. It is made primarily from Eco-Poly Stretch Light fabric, and the inclusion of Eco-Mesh panels makes the garment particularly lightweight and perfectly breathable. All Crystal Palace match kits will soon be available in the section dedicated to the English club on macron.com
