Sign the petition... reject the new Palace kits

Many supporters are upset at the hideous new Palace shirt designs, which are extremely ugly and continue in the thoughtless tradition of Crystal Palace FC taking their suppporters for mugs.

Enough is enough. With widespread anger about the rubbish kits, an online petition has been set up and the Palace Independent Suppporters Association is taking the matter up with the club.

Apart from disapointment with the designs, whcih are truly dreadful aan an embarrassment to club and fans, there is also the matter of the whole process as the club charter says it will consult on kits (which might have given us a chance to at least overwhelmingly dismiss the worst kits in CPFC history). No wonder fans feel disenfranchised. If you've had enough please sign the petition and do not buy these rubbish kits.

Palace unveil rubbish new kits

Crystal Palace FC today revealed their stylish new kits for 2007-08. The new look designs are intended to highlight the character of the club and the thinking of those who designed and approved the kits.

'We've gone for Italian style and French flair,' said chairman Simon Jordan, who of course is readily identified in most tabloids as the very epitome of 'good taste'.

The home kit on the left incorporate's the chairman's own corporate colour of orange into the traditional Palace colours and recognises that fans have a feeling for history with a nod to the yellow and black FA Cup final replay kit down one sleeve.

'We feel that these kits will look perfect for when the wheels come off our season,' said Jordan.

The away kit on the right takes its cue from the atmosphere around Selhurst Park since Peter Taylor arrived, and is inspired by French mime artist Marcel Marceau.

'We think this one will be a big seller,' said Jordan, 'mime is money.'
