Kit Manufacturer

This was to be Oxford's last season with New balance.

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.
