Kit Manufacturer
This was to be Oxford's last season with New balance.
Sponsor
Oxford-based internet web agency Domino Systems featured as the shirt sponsor, but for just one season only.
Football League Branding
The league issued yet another variation of their competition sleeve patch.
Home Kit & Away Variation
Long
sleeves
New Balance produced an unpopular design for Oxford United’s last season at their Manor Ground.
The shirts had a metallic brass colour, featuring tiny blue specs, giving a rather dirty, muddy green appearance, particularly under floodlights. The fabric used on these shirts was indentical to that used by ASICS and worn by Sunderland (away) during 97/98.
These shirts featured two versions of the club crest, one read OXFORD UNITED, the other OXFORD United F.C.
Away Kit
Long
sleeves
The navy change strip design remained largely unchanged.
The shirts now featured the new sponsor and competition arm patches, whilst the socks gained navy trim on the turnovers.
'Rehashed' Away Shirts
Not all change shirts were new. Some were Unipart shirts rehashed with a rectangular Domino patch crudely applied over the embossed Unipart logo. This demonstrates how dire the club's finances were at that time.
The Domino logo on these shirts was also in an incorrect ‘condensed’ version of the logo typeface.
Goalkeeper Kits
MAKESHIFT Goalkeeper SHIRT
At Wycombe, reserve keeper Hubert Busby Junior was introduced as a half-time substitute. He played wearing a baggy red training top and outfield shorts and socks.
