Palace will now turn their attention towards the start of their Premier League season, which sees them make the trip to fellow London club Chelsea on Saturday, with a 3pm kick-off.
Aside from the weekend's win over Watford, many Eagles diehards took to Twitter to discuss their opinions on the new home shirt, which features the traditional red and blue stripes in a diagonal sash pattern.
Crystal Palace FC fans react:
Replying to popular Crystal Palace page HLTCO on Twitter after they described the kit as a 'belter', here is what some supporters had to say about the images of the shirt, which one fan described as "really nice":
"In about 2 days I went from hating it to loving seeing it in person at Watford (what a game that was as well)"
"Wasn't keen until I realised it was the sash on steroids."
