Umbro's diamond logo appeared on a handful of shorts, a prelude to the 1974 season where the kit manufacturer logo would be visible on all shirts and shorts.

The shirt style remained unchanged from 1972, although a club crest thankfully returned.
This was the first time a crest had featured since this mid-1950s.
The shorts seemed a lighter shade of yellow in comparison to the shirts.
A shirt reminiscent of the classic home shirts of Crystal Palace was worn as the away kit.
However, at Luton, the plain white round necks made a return, this time without the club crest.
