The heaviest use of Black yet to be seen on a Notts strip. Once again designed by Avec,
the sleeves, shorts and socks were black with 3 black stripes on the front of the shirt
which was almost entirely black at the rear, the SAPA sponsor was displayed across the
horizontal white band, and yellow trimmings were used throughout.
Change colours
An all blue strip with a pale blue stripe down the side of the sleeves and shorts,
a  horizontal stripe across the chest for the sponsor, and yellow trimmings.
A 3rd all white strip was introduced during the season.
All 3 kits would be used for this one season only.
