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. 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.
There was also a slightly narrower yellow cuff on the short-sleeved shirts.

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. 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!

The yellow socks used with Oxford's grey kit were more plain than the alternative yellow socks used with the home kit. 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.

Third Kit

The ‘AC Milan’ styled change strip worn the previous season, was worn with a different colour combination of shorts and plain red socks. Although why this was deemed necessary to wear just once at Bristol Rovers is puzzling.
