the season bodes well for chrystal palace
From todays Sun.
PREMIERSHIP new boys Crystal Palace scored a spectacular own-goal — spelling their name WRONGLY on new team shirts.
Botched batches of £39.99 adult red and blue striped replica tops show the name as CHRYSTAL Palace.
Junior shirts, the club’s white and blue away kit and the grey goalie tops also carry the error.
Supporter Peter Munday, 68, added: “You’d have thought that the one thing they would get right would be the club’s name.”
Another fan was horrified when he spotted the error as he bought kit for his sons from the club shop.
He said outside Palace’s Selhurst Park stadium in South London: “I’ve feared that we would be the Premiership whipping boys since we went up.
“But I never thought we’d be a laughing stock BEFORE the season started. I hope this isn’t an omen things are going to go wrong.”
Palace are nicknamed the Eagles — and the mis-spelling is on a small club crest of a bird clutching a football on top of the Crystal Palace exhibition hall.
The crest is at the bottom of the shirts. But on the main badge — on the left breast — and on a badge alongside the crest the name is spelt correctly.
The shirts were made in Romania for Italian sports giant Diadora — who are “addressing the problem”.
But the tops were still on sale in the club shop yesterday. Palace were promoted after beating West Ham 1-0 in last season’s Division One play-off final. |
This would make me want to buy the kit more, It'l probs be a collectors item at some point in time.
Oh yeah and hell of a goal from Popovic today! Just about beats the pen that dodgy keeper gave away a few weeks back
