White accents added to headtube, down and top tubes, and fork blades (under heron badge). "SPORTS" added vertically on seattube, flanked with two, thin, yellow seattube bands on top and bottom. New block-letter, angular font with bold serifs replace the original downtube and chainguard logos.

Seattube bands and all white accents deleted, tubing decal moved upwards on seat tube to make room for optional "DELUXE MODEL" decal (not on all models, obviously).

Pinstriping is added to the fork blades and top tube.

Downtube decals revert to the "RALEIGH SPORTS" font of the early 1950's, while the seattube model name is replaced with four foil bands surrounding a decal variant of the Raleigh heron headtube badge.

"Sports DeLuxe" decal is dropped entirely.

Downtube and chainguard receive additional pinstriping; two of the foil seat band stickers are omitted.

Chainguard decal is revised to match the current, italicized Raleigh logo (with no outlining - solid mustard yellow/gold), while the downtube receives the model name; a chunky, serifed font is used for this purpose.

Tubing decal is revised with a diamond-shaped logo proclaiming the 20-30 steel blend.

All decals are revised - downtube and chainguard decals are revised with Raleigh's sans-serif and italicized block letter logo (with black center pinstripe).

Raleigh heron logos on fork blades and seattube are replaced with Rampar (Ralpar in UK) "R" decals. Tubing decal is revised to a grey and gold rectangular transfer, fork blade pinstriping deleted.

Chainguard now reads model name.

1977 models recieve a new chainguard design and CPSC-mandated front reflector mounted to what was previously the Heron light bracket (not shown), along with enlarged "coffin" rear reflector (not shown).

Secondary colors are added (on US variants) to the headtube and a panel on the seattube, white tip on rear fender deleted.

Top tube "Made In England" transfer becomes a peel-and-stick decal that includes the TI industries logo.
