Crystal Palace Football Club this evening announced a new partnership with Puma and revealed the club's new 2018-19 kits. The first-ever Puma Crystal Palace team kits were revealed on Wednesday night at a special event for supporters at Boxpark Croydon, attended by manager Roy Hodgson and the entire playing squad.
Paul Spencer, Puma UKIB General Manager, said “We are thrilled to welcome Crystal Palace to the Puma family. It’s a positive time for the club as they continue to establish themselves as a solid Premier League team. We are excited to partner with the Eagles as they head into their sixth consecutive Premier League season.”
Puma will supply team kit, replica kit, training and bench wear for all Crystal Palace teams, and as part of the partnership, Puma will also be the official partner for replica jerseys and merchandise ranges.
Crystal Palace 18-19 Home Kit
A modern design, the new Crystal Palace Puma home kit is dubbed as ‘The Palace Fade Stripe’, referencing the innovative feature on the traditional red and blue stripes. Yellow applications on the collar and the sleeve cufs round off the new Crystal Palace 18-19 kit.
Crystal Palace 18-19 Away Jersey
The new Crystal Palace 18-19 away kit is called the ‘Palace Puma Sash’. Featuring the iconic Sash design that was voted one of the best ten Crystal Palace kits of all time, the new Crystal Palace 2018-19 away kit is white, blue and red.
The new Crystal Palace 2018-19 home and away kits will be worn for the first time during pre-season and will be on sale from early July.
Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “The Crystal Palace sash has a real resonance for our supporters because the team that first wore it was one of the finest in the club’s history. The teams of that era featured several fantastic young players and it is apt that we are bringing back the sash at a time when we have so much exciting young talent coming through our academy. The home kit is equally exciting and promises to be a real favourite with our supporters.”
