Vintage Crystal Palace shirts: what to know
Palace shirts have been made by Umbro, adidas, Hummel, Bukta, Ribero, TFG Sports, Le Coq Sportif, Avec, Macron and Puma, among others. The Bukta years of 1988–93, sponsored by Virgin, are the era collectors chase most.
The most sought-after vintage Crystal Palace shirts are:
- The 1988–90 Bukta "Fly Virgin" home shirt – red and blue stripes, worn in the 4–3 FA Cup semi-final win over Liverpool and the 3–3 final against Manchester United in 1990. Versions with "to L.A." added to the sponsor, and the "F.A. Challenge Cup Finalists 1990" script, are the most prized.
- The 1980–82 adidas sash home shirt – the diagonal tricolour stripe across the chest, from Palace's early-80s First Division years.
- The 1990–93 Bukta home shirt – worn as Palace finished third in the First Division in 1990–91, their highest ever league placing, and won the 1991 Zenith Data Systems Cup at Wembley.
- The 1985–87 Hummel shirts – chevron-trimmed designs that have aged into cult classics.
