Shirt Crest
For some reason, the club crest did not feature on the new Admiral kits.
Kit Manufacturer
At the time, Admiral were among the most popular kit suppliers, providing strips for the England team, Manchester United and Leeds United.
Home Kit
Long
sleeves
Oxford United's Admiral strip was straight off the shelf and did not feature a club crest.
Away Kit
A red, white and blue away kit was introduced, identical to England's away kit of that time.
Third Kit
Long
sleeves
only
An all-white strip was identical in styling to the home strip and looked very much like the Leeds United kit of that time.
The pre-season press photocall featured this kit rather than the yellow home strip, suggesting there may have been a delay in the arrival of the home kit.
