Headington United had grown to become the largest club in the city, the club was renamed as 'Oxford United'. This name change proved controversial, both for the Headington supporters, and those preferring to watch 'City' down at the White House Ground.
Oxford United were champions of the Southern League, but at that time promotion to the Football League was not guaranteed. Instead, the Southern League champions could 'apply' to join the Football League, whilst the lowest four league clubs would have to reapply to remain a league club.
Oxford's application was unsuccessful, with Exeter, Barrow, Hartlepools United and Chester all being re-elected to remain in Division Four.
Long
sleeves
At this time, most football clubs wore very similar kits, with no distinguishing features.
Oxford United wore the fashionable 'continental style' shirts, which featured v-necks and short sleeves. I believe these kits were made by Bukta, as the unique shape of the join of the v-neck is identical to other known Bukta shirts of that era.
Long-sleeved versions of these shirts were worn during the winter months.
There are no confirmed details of the styling, although it is highly likely to have been as illustrated.
