The club went through a period of instability following a poor run of form and the sacking of manager Graham Rix. Eventually, Argentinian Ramón Díaz took over, with a team of back-room staff who could barely speak English. The team began to look quite international with Díaz signing players from Argentina, Uruguay and France.

Football League Branding

This was to be the last season that the Football League used their first design of numbers and letters.

Coca-Cola became the new league sponsor, so match shirts sported new competition patches.

Home Kit & Away Variation

Long
sleeves

The 2004-05 season saw no change to the home kit design, except the shirts now featured new competition sleeve patches. There were now matching alternative yellow shorts, plus new styled yellow socks.

Away Kit & Variations

Long
sleeves

The new black change kit was very similar (but not identical) to the navy change kit used previously.

Black had become a popular choice of change kit for many teams as the ban on black was relaxed, with match officials now permitted to wear other colours.
