About Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are south London's red and blue institution, a club from Selhurst whose passionate support, dramatic FA Cup final appearances, and top-flight resilience have made them one of the Premier League era's most beloved clubs. Founded in 1905, the Eagles have spent the majority of the Premier League era competing in the top flight and delivered some of the competition's most memorable moments, including a 4-3 win over Liverpool in 1997 and a run of classic FA Cup final performances. Ian Wright, Wilfried Zaha, and a generation of other Palace heroes have made the red and blue one of English football's most recognisable shirts.

Founded in 1905, Crystal Palace compete in the Premier League, England's top division. Their home is Selhurst Park in Crystal Palace, south London, which holds 25,486 supporters. Key honours include FA Cup finalist appearances in 1990, 2016, and 2022, alongside sustained Premier League presence across three decades.

Crystal Palace's red and blue vertical stripes are a south London football institution. The club played in various colours before settling on the distinctive red and blue in 1973, making it one of the more recent classic kit designs in English football. The late 1980s and early 1990s kits, worn during the Mark Bright and Ian Wright partnership that terrorised First Division defences, are among the most celebrated retro pieces in Palace history. The modern Adidas era has refined the stripes while keeping the bold red and blue combination that Palace supporters wear with pride across south London.
