Kit Manufacturer
This was Carlotti's final season with Oxford United. Most garments were supplied with an incorrect club crest, with the white circle ‘cutting through’ the ox horns.
Sponsors
A new 'cut-out' version of the Jack FM logo moved to a position above the players' names.
Football Conference Branding
The Conference League saw no changes to their branding.
Home Kit & Away Variation
Long
sleeves
This was Carlotti's final season supplying kits to Oxford United. The design was similar to the blue change shirts introduced the previous year.
Notably, the home navy shorts featured much smaller numbers compared to those on previous shorts and the other shorts used this season.
Away Kit & Variations
Long
sleeves
The royal blue change kits remained in the same design as the previous season. Just like the yellow home shirts, the change shirts featured the new position for the back-of-shirt sponsor and the incorrect club badge.
2007 Goalkeeper Kits
The season began with keeper Jake Cole wearing grey 2007/08 garments. These were worn for the first 6 matches until the 2008 garments were introduced.

Prototype
This yellow shirt was provided as a prototype sample for possible use in 2008.
It shared the same template as used by Blackpool (black away) and very similar to Oldham and Rotherham away. I'm glad it wasn't picked.
Thanks to @MY1OUFC.
