About
Step back into one of the most stylish eras in Crystal Palace history with the Crystal Palace 1978 Admiral Shirt, a tribute to a defining chapter at Selhurst Park. The late 1970s saw Palace under the management of Terry Venables ride a wave of momentum that would soon earn them promotion and the famous "Team of the Eighties" tag. With a squad full of exciting young talent and a growing belief around the club, this was a Crystal Palace side capturing imaginations across South London and beyond, and the Admiral kit of the era became an instantly recognisable symbol of that optimism.
Admiral were one of the most influential kit makers of the 1970s, helping shape the look of football as we know it today, and their Crystal Palace shirts from this period are widely regarded as design classics. With bold sash detailing, iconic Admiral branding, and the proud red and blue Palace identity, this shirt remains a fan favourite decades later. Faithfully reproduced with attention to every detail, it's a wearable slice of Eagles heritage for lifelong supporters, retro shirt collectors, and anyone who appreciates the golden age of football design.
