Home colours
Back to traditional stripes with a white bib
area for the sponsor Wrangler and the
new club badge. Black shorts, white socks. The
shorts/socks included multiple
Admiral logo's on the stripe/hoop
Change colours
I'm not sure, but I think Notts continued with the previous season's
all yellow strip
with green trim even though it had the old badge.
