A new 'cut-out' version of the Jack FM logo moved to a position above the players' names.

Home Kit & Away Variation
Long
sleeves
The design was similar to the blue change shirt introduced the previous season.
Notably, the navy home shorts carried much smaller numbers than both the previous season's shorts and the other pairs used in 2008/09.
Away Kit & Variations
Long
sleeves
The royal blue change kits retained the previous season's design. Like the yellow home shirts, they featured the repositioned back-of-shirt sponsor and the incorrect club badge.
2007 Goalkeeper Kits
The season began with keeper Jake Cole wearing grey 2007/08 garments. These were worn for the first six matches until the 2008 garments were introduced.

Prototype
This yellow shirt was provided as a prototype sample for possible use in 2008.
It shared the same template as used by Blackpool (black away) and very similar to Oldham and Rotherham away. I'm glad it wasn't picked.
Thanks to @MY1OUFC.
