traditional yellow and black kits is now used only in the away matches. Also in this period, the team has been nicknamed as Urșii carpatini ("The Carpathian Bears"). 2006–07 Liga I season found a team far away from the form displayed in the late 1990s first league matches, with many managerial changes and with lack of inspiration Ceahlăul finished 15th, out of 18, and relegated after only one season spent in the top flight. But an unexpected help appeared in the summer of 2007, when Delta Tulcea, 2nd place in the first series of Liga II could not obtain the license for the 2007–08 Liga I season, the team from Piatra Neamț being accepted in its place.
