City's first season with Umbro coincided with them winning promotion to the top flight for the first time. The kit was typical of the Umbro stylings of the time, with sponsors KC pushing the Karoo brand.The interchangeability of the kits allowed for different combinations. The away shorts appeared away to Preston North End.Away to Sheffield Wednesday, City appeared in an amber-white-white mix.
The change kit was a lovely all-white effort sprinkled with black and amber trim, featuring the Kingston Communications logo.When required, the home shorts were used, complementing the shirt nicely.
