Kit Manufacturer

This was the final season of Nike supplying the kits to Oxford United.

EFL Branding

The Football League began a new sponsorship deal with Skybet. Players under 18 years are required to wear shirts without the Skybet sleeve patch.

Home Kit & Away Variations

With Base
Layer

Once again, the selection of yellow shirts was quite limited, leading the club to opt for a rather plain gold design reminiscent of the light gold worn in the early 1970s

This was one of those seasons where the alternative combinations looked mismatched, particularly with white shorts and socks.

Yellow socks were worn at Hartlepool, most likely the same socks used during the previous season. These were replaced with gold socks for the subsequent away matches.

Away Kit & Variation

With Base
Layer

This was the first time purple was to feature as the colour for an Oxford United shirt.

Isinglass won the second prize in the draw to feature as the away shirt sponsors. The white band through the shirt resulted in a strange off-centred logo.

The club did not acquire purple base layers, which meant that players had to rely on short-sleeved shirts, even during the depths of winter.

Goalkeeper Kits

The three goalkeeper shirt colours featured both sponsor variations. The Isinglass shirts looked slightly odd with the logo off-centre, matching the purple shirts, even though this was not necessary.
