Kit Manufacturer

The ‘Manor Leisure’ branding continued, and appeared to be a great success.

Football League Branding

Home Kit & Away Variations

Long
sleeves

At first glance the home kits looked to have seen no changes, however, there were several subtle changes from the ‘94 kits.

The most obvious change was a new design of shorts, featuring twin flashes on either hip and a subtle diamond pattern in the fabric. The navy socks now featured the club crest embroidered on the shin.

The shirts differed more subtly.

  • The previous season's reproduction error on the club crest was corrected.
  • The sponsor's logo was positioned lower on the chest.

Away Kit & Variation

Long
sleeves

Rules regarding kit colours were relaxed, resulting in many teams introducing darker colours which would look good paired with jeans, thus boosting replica shirt sales. Oxford United adopted a grey strip featuring varying vertical and diagonal shades.

The yellow socks used with this grey kit were plain, rather than using the alternative yellow socks paired with the home kits. These socks featured a subtle outline of the club crest embroidered on the shin, this nice touch was something that would be seen on all club socks over the next few seasons.

Famously, Manchester United also introduced a grey kit, however, Alex Ferguson ordered his players to change out of their grey kit at half-time, after they complained they couldn't see each other!

Third Kit

The ‘AC Milan’ styled change strip worn the previous season became a third kit and was worn with a different combination of shorts and plain red socks.

These shirts differed from the 1994 batch, with the previous reproduction error on the club crest corrected. The fabric also now featured a subtle diamond pattern throughout. This pattern is illustrated, but you'll need to zoom in to see.

Goalkeeper Jersey

For the first time, the goalkeeper kit featured padded shorts which matched the patterned jersey.

The keepers wore the same colour socks as the outfield players.
