Kit Manufacturer
I cannot be 100% certain this kit was Umbro, however, the fabric used, plus the cut of the short sleeves suggests these were the same as the England team at that time, which we know to be Umbro.
Home Kit & Away Variation
Long
sleeves
In the 1970s, Oxford United began wearing plain kits that lacked individuality and distinguishing features. This trend mirrored the style of England's World Cup kits from 1966 and 1970, reflecting the fashion of the era.
Away Kit
Long
sleeves
The away kit was worn at home for an FA Cup tie versus Watford. This was because FA Cup rules at that time stated that both teams should change when there was a colour clash.
