2016-17

This was the second season of Nike kits. Allsopp & Allsopp were front of shirt sponsors for the third season, and MidRepro were back of shirt sponsors for the fourth season. There were new sponsors on the shorts; Exhall based scaffolding company G&R Scaffolding on home shorts and XL Motors the Longford based accident repair and service centre on the away shorts.
The Football League’s rebranding as the EFL meant all new fonts, numbers and sleeve patches. The patches were now division specific and worn on both sleeves. Special patches were worn for the Checkatrade Trophy final.

The home kit was a striped sky blue and white shirt with sky blue shorts and socks. The shirt faded the stripes out so the top half was mostly white and the back of the shirt was entirely white, the design and look was not well received by supporters with comparisons made to Tesco carrier bags.
The kit was announced on 1 June 2016.

City wore a poppy on their shirts for the home game with Scunthorpe United on 12 November. For the Checkatrade Trophy final against Oxford United on 2 April City had text on the chest of the shirt to mark the occasion.

The goalkeeper kit was all green – the shirt had a circular hooped design on the sleeves in black.

For the EFL Cup 2nd Round game at Norwich City, Reice Charles-Cook wore black shorts and socks with the regular goalkeeper shirt.

The away kit was a black and red striped shirt with the red stripes fading out towards the top – the same template as the home kit. The shorts were black at the top fading out to red at the bottom and socks were black. It was another unpopular look with supporters. The kit was announced on 7 July 2017.

The away kit was often worn with red socks replacing the standard black.
