Kit Manufacturer

Once again, Puma provided the Oxford United teamwear.

EFL Branding

There were no changes to the Football League insignia for the 2019 season.

Home Kit & Away Variations

With Base
Layer

For 2019, Oxford United returned to the classic combination of yellow shirts, blue shorts and yellow socks. The kit colours were unique to Oxford, although it included design elements commonly seen elsewhere on other Puma kits.

The front panel and sleeves had a subtle flux pattern 'sublimated' into the fabric. Other club's Puma kits had a far more visible flux effect than this particular shirt (it is illustrated, but you'll need to zoom in to see it).

Goalkeeper Kits

The goalkeeper kits were straight off-the-shelf, featuring Puma's flux pattern on the sleeves and shorts.

Makeshift Goalkeeper Shirt

For their trip to Lincoln City, Oxford United forgot to pack the goalkeeper's shirts.

To avoid potential EFL rules violations and fines, the team quickly visited Lincoln's kit room, where they converted training tops into match shirts. These makeshift shirts were outfitted with the required player names, numbers, and competition sleeve patches.

LEAGUE Cup Shirts

Oxford United wore shirts featuring League Cup competition sleeve patches for the fourth-round and quarter-final ties.

Remembrance Weekend / FA Cup Shirts


Round
1

The 2019 remembrance weekend coincided with the FA Cup first round. Oxford United's televised fixture away at Hayes & Yeading featured away shirts with the regular poppy motif.

The shirts again featured a single Emirates FA Cup competition patch on the right sleeve. This allowed teams to secure additional sponsorship on the left sleeve. Northants-based TMDS became Oxford United's very first sleeve sponsor.

Round

In the second, third, and fourth rounds of the FA Cup, the team wore shirts featuring the single competition sleeve patch. However, due to the lack of TV coverage during these matches, there was no demand for a sleeve sponsor.

Televised FA Cup Shirts


Round
4R

Oxford United's fourth-round replay against Newcastle United was selected for live broadcast on BBC1. The club successfully secured sleeve sponsorship from Crep Protect, a company specialising in shoe care cleaning products.

Heads Up Shirts

In February, all clubs participated in the FA's Heads Up initiative, highlighting the importance of discussing mental health issues.

Shirts with the 'Heads Up' campaign logo were worn for the trip to Peterborough.

Play-off Shirts

Following the Coronavirus pandemic, all EFL clubs wore shirts with an ‘NHS Rainbow – Thank You’ emblem. This was to recognise the brave efforts of NHS key workers who continued to support wider communities throughout the pandemic.

The shirts also featured the EFL's League 1 Play-offs competition patch, worn on the right sleeve.
