It's the Milan city symbol so at least there is a reason Isn't their club nickname the Snake or something? They're really doubling down on it this year.... NOTE: I just Googled it, they're "The Big Grass Snake". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan token crypto service app? Feels like money laundering with a few buzz words thrown in. My workplace has been looking into Crypto over the past few months, just due to increasing client interest. Was surprised how many large European clubs have their own "fan token". PSG, AC Milan, Juventus & Roma all available to purchase...and that's just on an Australian exchange. I'm sure their are far more available in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky blue and white half and half shirt is based on the colours and design worn by the first ever team from the Crystal Palace Club, which was set up by cricketers who wanted to keep fit during the winter months. The CPFC 1861 logo on the back of the shirt recognises the club’s pivotal role in developing modern football as the oldest league club in existence still playing professional football. The club was only the second organised football team to be set up in London and, after playing its first official game the following March, seven of its members were involved in founding the Football Association in 1863 and agreeing the rules of the sport, as documented in the original FA minutes book. In 1871 it played an important role in establishing the FA Cup, football’s oldest cup competition, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Also featured on the shirt is a silhouette of the original Crystal Palace, the giant cast-iron and glass structure which was moved to Sydenham after hosting the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park. https://www.footballshirtculture.com/21/22-Kits/crystal-palace-2021-22-puma-third-kit-cpfc-crystalpalace-pumafootball-crystalpalacefc.html Some bold claims there.

villa4europe Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Sounds like 2 different clubs of the same name that they're going to make a push for being recognised as the same club which would make them the oldest and not Sheffield fc If that's the case then puma have done alright there, will spark debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Kappa sizing that would be an XXXXXL. Looks like a comfy fit to me. There's a lot to be said for weaing a shirt in a size that doesn't mean everyone sees your nipples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
