CLUB CREST
A brand new club crest was introduced, featuring the now-familiar Ox that remains a part of the identity today. This Minoan Ox "Emblem" was hand-drawn in 1978 by club director Desmond Morris, who was also a renowned zoologist and author in the field of human sociobiology.

The long-sleeved shirts also featured a different design of cuff.
