Club Crest
A new club crest was introduced, retaining the yellow, red and black colours from Oxford United’s original design. However, this updated crest did not appear on the shirts until the following season.
Kit Manufacturer
Although the kit was unbranded, my hunch is this was an Umbro kit, as Umbro featured in both preceding and following seasons.
Home Kit & Away Variation
Long
sleeves
Oxford United continued wearing the yellow shirts introduced the previous season, although programme notes still referred to them as gold.
Unusually, both black and yellow shorts were worn for home and away games.
