Before a yet-to-be unveiled collaboration lands next week, Palace is exuding ‘calm before the storm’ vibes in this week’s drop, circling back to the brand’s bread and butter through graphic heavy ensembles and easy-going tracksuits.
Leaning into its y2k roots, Palace has lined up a coordinating mesh outfit that spans a football jersey, matching shorts and cap - all printed with lighting bolt paraphernalia and chain-styled double-zero numbering, presented under the guise of the imaginary “Palace Equipment” division - which is referenced through a whimsical badge across the three pieces.
Furthering the euphemistic approach to sports gear, Palace has also left a space for the wearer to take ownership of their desired garment through a “name here” patch that resides on the outer side of the jersey and cap.
In addition to the mesh kit, Palace has also readied a set of core tracksuit options, coming in black, turquoise and yellow, constructed from nylon and featuring low-key branding and all the zips/ toggles one could ask for.

Finally, there’s another helping of simple wordmark sweatshirts and two variations of digi-camo New Era bucket hats.
