Kit

The previous season's home kit was retained, featuring the club's traditional gold and black colours. The season however saw a new away kit introduced that was an all-black design, with gold piping on the shirt.[38] Last season's navy blue and white away kit was also retained for this season. The kits were manufactured by Le Coq Sportif and featured Chaucer Consulting as sponsor for a second season.
