Badge history pre Eagle

Been looking through our late 50?s to early 70?s period, and a bit unsure about our official badge during certain seasons. I wonder if any of you older BBSers could clear it up?

The fact we didn?t wear our crest on our shirts in certain years or just used crests/embroidered name, adds to the confusion. Seems also to be differing views from sources I?ve found online, and the various Palace history books I have don?t exactly clear it up.

Now this is my understanding having seen pictures of our shirts from certain periods:


1955 - 1964

Now I know we had this crest on our 1964 - 66 shirts?

But the official club crest was still the one above it, the elongated version of the Crystal Palace building, right?


1972 - 1973
