Football League Branding
The mandatory Football League competition patches were now larger than seen during the previous seasons.
Home Kit & Away Variations
Long
sleeves
The pre-season press photo call featured the team in yellow socks, although navy socks were the official colors for the season.
All club shirts, including home, away, and goalkeeper kits, featured a reproduction error in the club crest, with the Ox incorrectly displaying hollow nostrils
During August, the team played in shirts featuring a mix of sewn sans numbers and printed block numbers. By September all match shirts featured the block numbers.
Sewn sans
number
September
onwards
There was a delay in the arrival of alternative yellow shorts for the team. As a result, during the match at Ninian Park, the club was required to wear Cardiff's red shorts. For the trip to Huddersfield, a set of plain yellow shorts was sourced. Eventually, official 'Oxford United' shorts, designed in the same template as the home shorts, were supplied and worn for the remainder of the season.
Away Kit & Variation
Long
sleeves
A popular away shirt was introduced, featuring the same template as the home kit but with a colour scheme inspired by AC Milan.
Goalkeeper Jerseys
Opponents Kit - Cardiff City
This particular match is best remembered for Paul Moody's superb hat-trick, but less notable was the fact that Oxford United wore Cardiff City's away shorts and socks. The match referee determined that Oxford’s navy shorts and socks would clash with the home team's royal blue strip.
Kit Clash
Amusingly, Cardiff City made the exact same error for the return fixture, resulting in them wearing Oxford’s yellow shorts and socks alongside their royal blue shirts.
