Home colours
Notts continued to turn out in black & white stripes with the big 1970's
style collar flaps. Black shorts, white socks.
Change colours
At some point Notts introduced an unusual yellow and green strip -
For certain it was in use by 1975 as photographs show County wearing
it at Elland Road for the famous Cup victory against Leeds United.
The Umbro shirts were yellow with a broad green vertical panel, the
shorts were green, the stockings yellow. There was no badge.
Following the victory at Leeds, Notts changed to a yellow and green
Admiral shirt with one green stripe down the right hand side.
