Yesterday Crystal Palace launched a new line of club merchandise made by New Era. The American headwear company have released a new range of hats for fans to purchase from the club’s online store.
However, this announcement caused many Palace fans to chuckle. They find irony in the fact that the side have released products with a company named New Era. They think the ‘new era’ of football being played under Roy Hodgson is completely underwhelming.
New era ???????

Are Crystal Palace going to be playing in the Championship next season?
Yes
No
Others think that the club’s next era will see them playing football in the Championship.
Era of what championship and worst palace football I’ve seen

New era, in the Championship

What do we think?
These Crystal Palace fans are clearly unimpressed with the football being displayed by Hodgson’s side at the moment. The side are winless in their last eight games. They are luckily still six points clear of 18th place West Ham United.
The form that Palace find themselves in is truly worrying. Perhaps a new era would be a welcome thing?
