Football League Branding

The were no changes to the competition sleeve patch.

Home Kit & Away Variations

Long
sleeves

The home shirt for the 1997 season was very subtly different, with the shirt collar poppers now white instead of blue. The long-sleeved shirts also had a slightly different sleeve cuff.

The shirt numbers reverted back to the style that began the 1996 season, with the block style numbers in the Machine typeface.

The shorts no longer featured text reading “Oxford United FC” above the club crest.

Away Kit

Long
sleeves

A smart all-white change strip incorporating yellow and blue trim was well received by the fans.

These shirts were produced by the same company, and had the same template as Leicester City's 'Fox Leisure' range from 1994.

Goalkeeper Kit

This was the club's first-ever 'full' goalkeeper kit. Occasionally, the socks were changed to match the outfield colours.
