Home colours
In the squad photo, the reserves are wearing new shirts but the first team are still
regailed in last season's strip. Perhaps the new shirts were phased in during the
course of the season. For certain - the first team were wearing the new design by
the end of this campaign which no longer included a badge and now had black round
collars and cuffs as opposed to white.
Change colours
Probably all gold with black trim.
