The home kit consisted of a royal blue shirt with broad white front panel in a "penguin" style, with white shorts and royal blue socks. The away strip had a yellow shirt with navy trim and navy shorts and socks. Adult shirts bore the logo of Nicolites, a Birmingham-based manufacturer of electronic cigarettes, while junior shirts carried the logo of Help Harry Help Others, a local cancer charity. The kit was produced by Diadora.[19] The club decided it would not be viable to open the upper tier of the Gil Merrick Stand at St Andrew's for the 2013–14 season.[20]

August–September
The opening-day fixture, at home to
Birmingham lined up against Watford in a 3–5–2 formation, with six debutant free-transfer signings, three loanees (a fourth, Scott Allan, came on as a second-half substitute), and two 34-year-olds. Nikola Žigić was unavailable through injury. The difference between the teams lay in their finishing. Matt Green missed with only the goalkeeper to beat, Wade Elliott's powerful shot from distance was deflected onto the crossbar, and Dan Burn might have scored twice late on. Troy Deeney played a one-two with Fernando Forestieri and scored the only goal of the game with a low shot into the far corner after 11 minutes.[30] For Birmingham's 2000th match in the second tier of English football, and Yeovil Town's first home game at that level, Hayden Mullins replaced Kyle Bartley in the starting eleven, playing at centre-half rather than his customary central midfield. The only goal of the game came just after half-time; Shane Ferguson's corner kick caused chaos as Byron Webster's attempted clearance rebounded off Danny Seaborne for an own goal. The goal was originally credited to Burn, who had scored the winner for Yeovil in the 2013 playoff final. Darren Randolph made a double save in the first half, and turned Webster's powerful header onto the bar with his leg in the second.[31]

Polish international Dariusz Dudka nearly marked his debut against Blackpool with a goal, and Burn risked injury blocking Tom Ince's shot against the goalpost, as Lingard was Birmingham's only scorer in a 1–1 draw despite late chances for Novak and Gray. Paul Caddis scored his first goals for Birmingham at Barnsley, with a run and 25-yard (23 m) shot and a penalty after Žigić was fouled, and his pass was deflected to Zigic who touched it over former Birmingham goalkeeper Jack Butland to complete a 3–0 win and finish November in 19th place in the table.[34]

Off the field
The trial of club president Carson Yeung on five charges of money-laundering between 2001 and 2007 in relation to sums totalling HK$721 million (£55M) had begun in Hong Kong in May 2013. After numerous delays, he was found guilty some nine months later.[89] Trial judge Douglas Yau found him "not a witness of truth. I find that he is someone who is prepared to, and did try to, lie whenever he saw the need to do so".[90] He was sentenced to six years' imprisonment, and filed notice of appeal.[91]
As the season began, progress had been made on satisfying the preconditions for trading in shares of holding company
In November, Yeung had agreed to write off a £15M loan to the club in return for shares in BIH.[92] He resigned from all positions with both club and holding company on 4 February,[93] and within days, trading resumed in BIH shares after two-and-a-half years suspension.[94] In consequence, the Football League were "satisfied that Birmingham City complies with its requirements regarding ownership, as well as having funding arrangements in place until at least the end of the 2013/14 season", and after BIH vice-chairman Ma Shui Cheong (Yeung's brother-in-law) and investment banker Panos Pavlakis (his future brother-in-law) joined Yeung's son on the football club board, Pannu insisted that Yeung would not be exerting any influence by proxy over the running of the club.[95]
Up to five groups were reportedly interested in buying the club, but BIH were willing only to dispose of tranches, as sale of the whole club would leave the company with no business and hence they would lose their HKSE listing again.[96] BIH confirmed on 27 May that a non-binding offer for 24% of the club had been received. Despite Pannu's statement that the bidder was a "British consortium with a very strong North American investment fund", but no further detail could be released because of "non-disclosure agreements and HKSE regulations".[97] former Swindon Town F.C. chairman Jeremy Wray stated two days later that a company with which he was involved, Soccer Management Worldwide, was the preferred bidder and had three weeks exclusive access to conduct due diligence.[98]
Aftermath
Captain Paul Robinson won both Fans' and Players' Player of the Season awards. Tom Adeyemi was Young Player of the Season, and Demarai Gray was Academy Player of the Year. Lee Novak was leading goalscorer, while loanee Federico Macheda was top league scorer with 10 from only 18 matches.[61][99] According to the Observer's Richard Gibson, "the difference between Championship and League One status ... can conservatively be estimated at £20m when taking sponsorship, television money and gate receipts into consideration."[100] Birmingham reduced the wage bill by releasing senior players Ambrose, Elliott, Løvenkrands and Mullins, as well as short-term signings Howard and Martin,[101] and Burke and Žigić left the club after rejecting new contracts offered on significantly reduced terms.[102] Including loanees and young professionals, 19 players left the club at the end of the season. While Clark recognised the problems inherent in such a turnover of players, there was as yet no evidence of enough incoming finance to support a less short-termist strategy.[103]
