Kit Manufacturer
After being with Bukta for an entire decade, this was to be the final season with Oxford.
Home Kit
Long
sleeves
only
The home kit remained unchained from the 1968 season.
This season saw a rule change, requiring away teams to wear shorts that did not clash with the home team.
Although this particular season did not appear to have seen changes, subsequent campaigns saw Oxford wearing alternative change shorts.
Away Kits
Long
sleeves
only
The red shirts featured during previous seasons were worn at Norwich.
A new white shirt was then introduced, this time featuring the same wider style collars and cuffs as seen on the home shirt.
Mystery Blue Kit
A Daily Telegraph press photograph has recently come to light which was taken at Oxford United's League Cup game at Nottingham Forest. Although the picture is black and white, it clearly shows Ken Skeen and Colin Harrington wearing a mystery kit.
Forest are wearing their famous red shirts, so I can only conclude that the Oxford shirts (which look the same colour in black/white) must have been blue.
Why did Oxford not wear their home or away shirts for this fixture?
