Oxford United began a two year period with Scoreline supplying the kits.
After several months without a sponsor, chairman Kevin Maxwell put his Pergamon Press company back onto the Oxford United shirts.

These gold shirts had a subtle ‘brush effect’ repeating pattern within the fabric and navy sleeves.
The shirts featured two variations in embroidery, with different colours used to highlight the details of the club crest. While most shirts had the crest outlined in the traditional yellow, the majority of long-sleeved versions were embroidered in red

A dark crimson red change strip was adopted, with a near-identical style to the home kit.
For the first outing of the new Scoreline away kit, the team sported Umbro socks from the previous season.
For the away match at Port Vale, Oxford unexpectedly reverted back to the 1988 'Wang' Umbro shirts. The reason for this odd change remains a mystery.

After several months without a sponsor, chairman Kevin Maxwell reinstated Pergamon Press as the club’s shirt sponsor.
The logo featured an ancient Greek coin from the city of Pergamon, which led to three variations in the player-issued shirts.
For the first game against Wolves, all shirts displayed the coin motif below the Pergamon name. However, as the season progressed, versions with the motif above the name became more common. Theses appeared in two different sizes, one small and thin, the other larger and bolder.
All variations were worn alongside each other in the same matches, creating a inconsistent look.
Around the same time, new socks began to appear, featuring both the club crest and the Scoreline logo embroidered on the sides.

I have yet to see a red shirt with the sponsor motif below the Pergamon name.
For several matches, the team wore old Umbro navy socks.
For the match at Portsmouth, Lee Nogan and Steve Foster donned long-sleeved shirts with the sponsor's name printed in white. Interestingly, these shirts were never seen in any other first-team match. Further details at the foot of this page.
The sponsored keepers shirts, only appeared with the logo motif beneath the name.

The old Umbro kits were worn for the pre-season fixtures.
A full set of away shirts featuring the sponsors name printed in white was produced. It is highly likely that these were worn by the reserve team.
Several of these shirts crept into the first team kitbag and were worn at Fratton Park.
