Kit Manufacturer
This was the first year we saw Umbro's now famous double diamond logo.
Home Kit
Long
sleeves
This season marked the first time Oxford United wore their now-familiar yellow and blue colours.
Blue stripes had traditionally featured on the shirts during the club's early Headington United years.
Interestingly, the club badge was now in yellow, white and black, a notable change from the blue used the previous season.
Yellow Shirt Variation
For several away fixtures Oxford United wore their old 1974 shirts.
One such fixture was at Bristol Rovers, where neither the home shirt nor the white away shirt would have been suitable against Rover's blue/white quarters.
Away Kit & Variations
Long
sleeves
The white shirts were used in a variety of kit combinations using elements of the home kit.
