Once again, Puma provided the Oxford United teamwear.
All three kit sponsors remained unchanged for the 2019 season. The Singha logo was printed into the shirt fabric, whereas previously, this had been a two-colour heat-applied transfer.
There were no changes to the Football League insignia for the 2019 season.

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).

The away kit saw a welcome return to a popular theme, an all-white kit featuring elements of yellow and blue. This shirt has proved to be the club's most commercially successful away shirt to date.
The sash added something a little different, but this was not the first time an Oxford United shirt featured a sash, in 1973, they wore white away shirts with a red/blue sash.
The goalkeeper kits were straight off-the-shelf, featuring Puma's flux pattern on the sleeves and shorts.
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.
Oxford United wore shirts featuring League Cup competition sleeve patches for the fourth-round and quarter-final ties.
Round

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
