Palace × Nike’s ‘Manor Place FC’: A Uniform for a Shared Space

An anniversary collection bringing together London’s skate community and 2000s football culture

Palace Skateboards and Nike have unveiled ‘PALACE NIKE MANOR PLACE FC,’ a collaborative collection celebrating the first anniversary of Manor Place, their community space in London.

Arriving as the fifth drop of the Winter 2026 collection, the collaboration centers on early-2000s football uniforms and training wear. It celebrates the space the two brands have created together and the people who gather there.

Manor Place is a sports and cultural community facility that Palace and Nike established in South London in 2025.

They renovated a building constructed in 1895, bringing a skatepark, an underground football pitch, an exhibition space and studios for young creators under one roof.

At the time of Nike’s official announcement, Palace co-founder Lev Tanju explained that the space was founded out of a desire to give back to the local community some of what London had given them.

After the project was officially announced on October 31, 2025, Manor Place opened to the public on November 11 that year. Its name has now come to represent the two brands’ collaboration.

That space is also the starting point for this collection.

The pieces are not made for an actual football club. Instead, the collection imagines what the uniform of a team based at Manor Place might look like.

Team Colors and Emblem

Black, teal and orange run throughout the collection.

Bright Swooshes and streamlined panels set against a dark base recall the visual hallmarks of the football uniforms Nike introduced in the early 2000s.

That era’s design language was also a key element of the P90 collection Palace and Nike first unveiled in 2025.

This time, they have kept the football aesthetic of the same era while placing a new emblem representing Manor Place at the center.

A star sits above a circular design combining the initials “MP,” while the Palace logo appears below, completing a club-style crest.

The collection’s most striking feature is that, rather than simply placing the two brands’ logos side by side, it is designed to look like a club of its own.

Football Jerseys Revisit the Kits of the Past

The football jersey is the item that most directly expresses the collection’s design direction.

Available in black and teal, the short-sleeved jersey features a large MP design across the front in a tonal graphic, with a small circular emblem on the chest.

Curved panels sweeping across the sleeves and body, asymmetrical color blocking and a Swoosh on the shoulder reprise elements of 2000s football uniforms.

A separate orange long-sleeved jersey presents this design in even more dramatic fashion.

The large MP graphic at the center and the number “1” on the back evoke goalkeeper kits of the past, setting it clearly apart from the other pieces in black and teal.

The jersey lineup suits the recent trend of wearing football kits as everyday clothing, but its greater significance lies in how faithfully it draws on the design features of Nike football kits from that era.

Tracksuits Show the Clearest Traces of P90

The accompanying track pants feature the same curved panels as the jacket, with a large Swoosh on the back.

Worn in matching colors, they look like a training suit for a football team; mixing different colors brings the panels’ shapes and contrasts into sharper focus.

A separate half-zip track top and shorts share the same design language.

The collared track top has a cleaner silhouette than the hooded jacket, while the training shorts feature a large Swoosh and contrasting color panels.

The graphics introduced on the jacket and pants carry through to the half-zip and shorts, allowing the pieces to be worn in different combinations.

Palace’s Graphics and Nike’s Sporting Heritage

While the tracksuits and jerseys focus on the form of football kits, the hoodies and T-shirts bring Palace’s established streetwear designs more clearly to the fore.

The hoodies come in two designs: a sporty style centered on the MP emblem and a graphic style featuring Palace’s signature Tri-Ferg.

The MP hoodie comes in black and teal, with the club emblem on the chest and curved color-blocking along the sides.

Like the outerwear line, it places a larger graphic on the back than on the front.

The Tri-Ferg hoodie, meanwhile, combines Palace’s traditional graphic with Nike’s Swoosh.

It comes in black, white and gray, with a large logo filling the back as its defining feature.

The same two graphics also appear on the T-shirts.

Black and teal T-shirts centered on the club emblem and black, white and gray T-shirts featuring the collaborative Tri-Ferg show the collection’s two sides.

One is closer to a uniform for Manor Place, while the other is everyday streetwear based on Palace’s established graphics.

The team’s identity carries through to the accessories

The caps and beanies carry over the colors and emblems used throughout the apparel.

The cap pairs a circular emblem on the front with a large Swoosh on the side, while the beanie features the emblem and a curved color panel.

The use of black and teal as base colors, with orange graphics added, keeps the accessories consistent with the rest of the collection.

Running from jerseys to headwear, these design elements make the different pieces look like a uniform for one team.

From a space back to the community

The collection will launch first in the UK, Europe and North America on October 30, followed by South Korea, Japan and some other parts of Asia on October 31.

Also on the same day, a skate jam celebrating Manor Place’s first anniversary will take place in London.

From its unveiling in 2025, Manor Place was conceived not simply as a collaboration project but as a real space for skaters, football fans and artists. Arriving a year later, this collection turns the space’s name into an emblem and translates it into uniforms its members might actually wear.
