Thanks for the link dB, noticed this part:
"The club was promptly re-established in August 2002 as Associazione Calcio Fiorentina e Florentia Viola....." and...."In the 2003 off-season, the club also bought back the right to use the Fiorentina name and the famous shirt design, and re-incorporated itself as ACF Fiorentina.
Looks as though they played in some other strip for a year?
This too....(After being re-instated)
"The club won its Serie C2 group with considerable ease, which would normally have led to a promotion to Serie C1. However, due to the bizarre Caso Catania (Catania Case) the club skipped Serie C1 and was admitted into Serie B, something that was only made possible by the Italian Football Federation's decision to resolve the Catania situation by increasing the number of teams in Serie B from 20 to 24 and promoting Fiorentina for "sports merits".
Can't see the SFA giving us a free jump up the leagues for sports merits?
