A historic season for a unique shirt. After narrowly missing out the previous year when the dreams of promotion ended in the play-offs, the grigiorossi achieved their goal of securing a return to the Serie A after 54 years. Finishing in 3rd place in the final standings at the end of an exhilarating run.

Led from the bench by the emerging coach Emiliano Mondonico, the team was spearheaded by the young Gianluca Vialli, whose 10 goals made him Cremo's top scorer that season. The 3-3 draw with Palermo on June 3, 1984, mathematically brought the wonderful and unique grey and red colours back to the top of Italian football, unleashing the uncontainable joy of the fans.
