Crystal Palace’s 25/26 Eagle Gold shirt is a celebratory design tied directly to the club’s historic FA Cup triumph, with “Gold is for winners” as the launch message. The kit’s standout features, a gold base, black detailing and an embossed pattern, are designed to look premium while still feeling like Palace.
Why Palace went “Eagle Gold” in 25/26
The club’s official announcement explains that Oliver Glasner’s Eagles won the first major trophy in Palace history with a 1–0 FA Cup final win over Manchester City at Wembley in May, and that the gold kit is meant to celebrate that achievement. You can read the full launch story in the club post, ‘Gold is for winners’: Palace launch new 25/26 Eagle Gold kit.
BBC Sport also framed the launch as a nod to Palace’s FA Cup win, reinforcing the “champions gold” theme from an independent outlet: Crystal Palace news: New gold kit launched for 2025-26.
Design details: pattern, collar, crest
Macron’s own product and campaign copy highlights a monochromatic gold look, a Korean-style collar with button closure, black-trim sleeve cuffs, and an all-over embossed “pied de poule” pattern. Those details appear on the official manufacturer listing: Macron – Crystal Palace FC 2025/26 Adults’ Eagle Gold Jersey.
Macron’s behind-the-launch write-up adds that the chest uses a monochrome black version of the Palace crest (the eagle clutching a football) and describes the “Pied de Poule” motif as fashion-inspired: The 2025/26 Crystal Palace FC Eagle Gold Kit by Macron.
