Kit Details

Manufacturer

5D Togs became the clubs new shirt manufacturer.

Main Sponsors

Evinsons Ford continued as the club's shirt sponsor.

Home Kit

5D Togs took over the reigns from Lowfields and this was their first home shirt design. The colours were very similar and the material of the shirt was similar although this shirt had a diagonal as opposed to vertical striped pattern.

The shorts and socks were largely similar to the previous seasons shirts albeit blue was removed from the shorts.

Away Kit

The first 5D Togs away shirt was again similar to the previous season's Lowfield's shirt albeit featuring a more prominent stripe and added a black collar and black cuffs.

Goalkeeper Kit

5D togs didn't provide a goalkeeper shirt this season with Uhlsport providing two variations of the same shirt template.

This grey version featured a large collar and subtle pinstripe pattern with two black lines on each sleeve. It was the most common goalkeeper shirt worn this season.

Goalkeeper Kit

This was a green version of the Uhlsport grey version above.

I am unsure as to the total amount this was worn but it was definitely worn at home to Bolton in November of this season.

Freight Rover Trophy Final

The club reached the Freight Rover Trophy (now EFL Trophy) final for the very first time where Bristol City were famously defeated on penalties.

For the final a new sponsor was worn with Evans Halshaw replacing Evinson's Ford. It also featured a new sock design which would be also used the following season.

The shirts featured annotations with the match details underneath the club badge.
