Club Development officer Paul Cook proposed a kit change which would say goodbye to the giant ‘D’ on the vest but would have the full name of the club across the front of the vest to increase awareness of the clubs Brand. The compromise to this was to have the D at a slightly larger font on the vest to the rest of the lettering, therefore retaining some of the history of the previous vest. The two Royal Blue Stripes would remain and an off road kit was introduced in Navy with two white stripes.
