Palace and Gucci just put the streetwear world in a headlock with a surprise collaboration that expertly blends the aesthetics of both brands across an extensive apparel range that includes three football jerseys.
Palace have long had a reputation for diving into the Serie A archives for inspiration within their seasonal drops so when the opportunity came to work with one of the most prominent Italian fashion houses in the world, it was always going to go in this direction.
All three jerseys carry hallmarks of the Gucci brand and touch points from jersey culture to create a trifecta of statement pieces. The first drops in an all-blue colourway and features Gucci's "Knight" logo – which the brand used between 1955-1992 – in the spot usually reserved for club crests.
The second drops in a clean white colourway and features Gucci's signature red and green stripes running through the centre of the jersey, akin to Chelsea's away kit in 03/04 or many contemporary PSG shirts. The third jersey is most noticeable for an all-over Strawberry print, not dissimilar to Spanish club CD Pinzón's kits from 2016.
