Crystal Palace Kit Schedule 2026/27: Every Fixture

Crystal Palace have done the most interesting thing any Premier League club did this summer, and most people have not noticed yet: they swapped their colours. The white sash shirt that used to be an occasional throwback is now the home kit, and the famous red and blue stripes have been pushed out to the third. It is a real decision, not a marketing one, and it is already changing what Palace look like on a Saturday.

The Home Shirt: A

Predominantly white with a large blue and red sash running across the chest, reviving the 1976 design for the first time in fifty years, and finished with a circular old badge in place of the modern crest. The sash is one of the great English football graphics and it has been off the home shirt for two generations. Bringing it back, committing to white as the base, and pairing it with the retro roundel instead of the current badge is the most confident thing Macron have done for this club. It also has a practical effect: white clashes with almost nothing, so Palace will wear their home shirt away from home far more often than most clubs do.

Grade: A

The Away Shirt: B

The 'Eagle Black' kit. A sleek black base with red and blue trim on the collar, cuffs, shoulders and sides, a tone-on-tone eagle plumage graphic, and an eagle silhouette on the front. It is well made and the plumage texture is genuinely nice up close, but a black away shirt with team-colour trim is the most common template in the league, and the eagle silhouette on the chest is doing a lot of work to make it distinct. Solid rather than special.

Grade: B

The Third Shirt: B+

The 'Eagle Wings' kit, and the shirt that used to be the home. Palace's traditional red and blue vertical stripes are reimagined as diagonal lightning-bolt shapes with sublimated eagle-wing patterns, framed in dark navy with red on the collar and cuffs. Taking the stripes and skewing them into something angular is a bolder idea than most thirds attempt, and it keeps the club's core identity in the wardrobe rather than abandoning it. Loses a step because the diagonal treatment makes the stripes read as pattern rather than as Palace.

Grade: B+

Frequently Asked Questions

What jersey are Crystal Palace wearing today?

Same answer as the kit question above: the matchday block at the top of this page shows the expected Crystal Palace jersey for their next fixture. In football the shirt is usually called a kit, but jersey and uniform mean the same thing here.

What is the Crystal Palace uniform for the 2026/27 season?

Crystal Palace have three uniforms for 2026/27: a home kit, an away kit and a third kit. Each one is described and graded on this page, and the matchday block tells you which of the three they are wearing next.

What kit are Crystal Palace wearing today?

Palace host Manchester City on Friday, August 28, and the white home shirt with the blue and red sash is the expected kit. White does not clash with City sky blue, so neither club needs to change. We update this page as each matchweek is confirmed.

Why are Crystal Palace wearing white at home in 2026/27?

Because they swapped their home and third designs. The white sash shirt, a revival of the 1976 kit, is now the home kit, and the traditional red and blue stripes have moved to the third. It is the first time the sash has been the primary home shirt in fifty years.

What happened to the Crystal Palace stripes?

They are still in the wardrobe, but on the third shirt, and reworked as diagonal lightning-bolt shapes rather than straight vertical stripes.

Who makes Crystal Palace kits?

The Bottom Line

Palace have the most interesting wardrobe in the Premier League this season, and it is because they were willing to move their own furniture. The white sash home shirt is a genuine A, a fifty-year revival executed with the confidence to also swap the crest, and the practical bonus is that white travels almost everywhere without a clash. The black away is the weakest of the three and the reworked stripes on the third are a good idea a half-step short. If you only look at one club's kits this season, look at this one.
