Crystal Palace wore this away shirt for a brutal 9-0 defeat at Anfield, Liverpool’s joint-biggest top-flight win. After that night, the sash gained an unlucky reputation and was used far less. When Palace later needed an alternative kit for the 1990 FA Cup Final replay, the players reportedly refused to wear it, leading Bukta to create a completely new yellow-and-black strip instead.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHIRT

The Shirt Palace Refused to Wear Again

This Crystal Palace away shirt became tied to one of the most painful results in the club’s history. On 12 September 1989, Palace travelled to Anfield and were beaten 9-0 by Liverpool, with eight different Liverpool players scoring. 

The defeat apparently changed the fate of the shirt itself. The white sash design fell out of favour, with Palace often turning to other change kits instead. 

Then came the 1990 FA Cup Final. After a 3-3 draw with Manchester United forced a replay, Palace needed to change colours, but the players reportedly considered this sash unlucky and did not want to wear it. Captain Geoff Thomas suggested yellow and black instead and Bukta hurriedly produced the one-off kit Palace wore in the replay.
