Crystal Palace have unveiled their new 2026-27 ‘Eagle Wings’ kit, with Macron delivering a dramatic new interpretation of the club’s famous red and blue stripes. The latest Palace shirt completes the club’s 2026-27 match kit collection and takes its name from the eagle imagery worked into the design. Rather than using conventional vertical stripes, Macron has transformed the familiar red and blue colours into an energetic all-over graphic made up of jagged, lightning-like shapes. Eagle Wings Inspire the Crystal Palace 2026-27 Kit The standout feature of the Crystal Palace 2026-27 Eagle Wings shirt is the way the traditional stripes have been completely reworked. Red and several shades of blue run vertically across the jersey but are broken up by sharp diagonal edges, creating an almost lightning-bolt appearance. Look more closely and the sublimated design also incorporates details inspired by eagle wings, directly referencing the symbol synonymous with Crystal Palace. It gives the shirt a distinctly modern appearance while ensuring that Palace’s instantly recognisable red and blue identity remains at the heart of the design. Dark navy panels around the shoulders, lower sleeves and sides provide contrast, while the crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs combine navy with a narrow red stripe. Classic Palace Colours With a Modern Macron Design Macron’s white Hero logo appears on the right of the chest, opposite the full-colour Crystal Palace crest, while principal partner Temporal takes its place centrally across the front. There are some excellent smaller touches too. On the outside of the back collar is a red eagle clutching a football in its talons, taken from the club crest. Inside the back neck, Macron has added a bespoke label incorporating the shirt graphic alongside the Palace badge, “SOUTH LONDON AND PROUD” wording and “Designed in Bologna” detailing. These additions help make the Eagle Wings concept more than simply a striking graphic across the front of the shirt. Crystal Palace Eagle Wings Full Kit The shirt is paired with blue shorts featuring darker blue drawcords with red tips. Graphic side panels continue the visual identity established by the jersey. Blue socks complete the strip, with a darker section towards the top divided by a horizontal red stripe. Macron branding appears towards the ankle, while CPFC detailing is positioned on the reverse. The result is an unmistakably Palace kit that looks particularly strong when worn as a complete strip. Buy a retro Crystal Palace shirt from The Kitman:
