Alongside competing in the League One, the club also participated in the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Football League Trophy. The 2012–13 season marked the club's 75th anniversary, but the club's on-field performance was poor, suffering 23 league defeats while achieving a club-record nine consecutive defeats. John Ward was relieved of his duties with the club in the relegation zone but his replacement, former U's defender Joe Dunne, turned around United's fortunes, leading them to mid-table by November. However, the club then embarked on their record run of nine successive defeats, which spanned from mid-November to mid-January. At the end of this run, the club dropped into the relegation zone, before escaping and then returning to the drop zone in early February. They flirted with relegation for the remainder of the season until they secured safety on the final day of the season with a 2–0 win at Carlisle United, finishing in 20th place. Colchester exited each cup competition after just one game, suffering defeats at Yeovil Town and Northampton Town in the League Cup and League Trophy respectively, while they were humiliated in the FA Cup first round by non-League Essex rivals Chelmsford City by a 3–1 margin. Season overview For the 2012–13 season, the U's marked their 75th anniversary with a special home kit which was designed with the usual blue and white stripes, but did not have a main sponsorship logo. The club hoped to promote local businesses on a game-by-game basis in order to reflect on the club's early days without a sponsor.http://www.cu-fc.com/news/article/160712-blue-flame-242130.aspx Match By Match Shirt Sponsorship Hudson Matt 16 July 2012 Colchester United FC 27 December 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20121014213537/http://www.cu-fc.com/news/article/160712-blue-flame-242130.aspx 14 October 2012 In pre-season, Colchester started with a comfortable 6–0 win over Heybridge Swifts.
