It was their 93rd season in the English football league system. The club celebrated its centenary, and to mark the occasion released a new crest. In keeping with the centenary theme, the home kit for the season used the colours white and gold, rather than the more traditional white and black, making it very similar to the 2011–12 Real Madrid home kit (also manufactured by Adidas). The away kit for the season was red, white and green, depicting the colours of the Welsh flag.https://www.swanseacity.com/page/Latest/0,,10354~2757384,00.html New Swans away kit 2012–13 Swansea City A.F.C. swanseacity.com 3 May 2012 13 May 2012 September 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes During pre-season, Brendan Rodgers became the new Liverpool manager and signed a three-year contract on 1 June.
