Palace Produce Their Own Take on Inter 97-98 Third Shirt
London-based skate brand Palace have once again taken inspiration from the world of football for one of their upcoming releases, this time from one shirt in specific rather than the general aesthetic. That shirt is Inter's iconic grey and black striped third jersey from the 97-98 season.
Palace To Release Shirt Based on Classic Inter Kit
Palace are no strangers to football-themed pieces and this is the latest in their ever growing line. While previous jerseys from the brand used football elements like a loose fit, club-style badge and logo placement, this one seems to have lifted the visual design straight from the Inter shirt and transferred it to a cotton long sleeve polo shirt. From the only photos that have been released so far it doesn't look like it is made of polyester.
The immediately recognisable Pirelli font has been used for the Palace text across the chest, obviously complete with an elongated letter P. A football-style crest bearing the colours of the Italian flag is centrally placed just above it, with the word "campeones" stitched on the right side of the upper chest area. A black number 22 with a thin yellow outline is printed on the back with "Palazzo" above it in place of a player name.
Ronaldo is probably the main reason that the original shirt is so famous. He wore it as he tore Lazio apart in the 1998 Uefa Cup final, having also worn it throughout the season, scoring 25 Serie A goals and winning the Ballon d'Or on the way. Inter themselves reused the design for their 04-05 and 20-21 third kits, with Nike keeping the grey and black hoops, central crest placement and yellow details and applying them to their templates of the time.
Which version of the shirt is the best in your opinion? What do you make of Palace's take on the Inter classic?

Special Commemorative Patches for 1000th FIFA World Cup Match
To mark a significant milestone in football history, special commemorative patches were featured during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group F match between Tunisia and Japan in Monterrey. The fixture officially marked the 1000th match in the history of the tournament.
In recognition of the occasion, both the Japan and Tunisia national teams wore mini Match 1000 arm patches on their jerseys. The special detailing was spotted on the players' kits during the game, as well as on the shirts laid out in the dressing rooms beforehand.
The commemorative design was not limited to the competing teams, as the match officials also wore the Match 1000 patch on their referee kits. This subtle yet historic addition provided a unique touch to the kits for the milestone game.
