2009/10

There was a limited choice of (yellow) kit designs that the club could choose from Nike’s rather uninspiring catalogue. Whilst premier league clubs enjoyed ‘custom’ kit designs, lower league clubs could only choose from the off-the-shelf designs.

Unusually, there was not an all-yellow away variation.

For the first time, Oxford United only wore short-sleeved shirts, so players began to wear thermal base layers in the colder months. Interestingly, fans could buy long-sleeved shirts.

A very plain round neck shirt was chosen for the away colours, indeed it could be said this design was little more than a t-shirt.

The white shorts had black trim around the back edge of each leg.

For the first half of the season, the white socks had black turnovers, however, these were replaced with plain variants for the second half of the season.

Buildbase's sister company ‘Plumbase’ name was used on the change shirts.

Having narrowly missed out on reaching the play-offs the year before, Oxford United went one better, reaching the Play-Off Final at the new Wembley Stadium.

Oxford United beat York City 3-1 to regain their place back in the football league.

In keeping with Wembley tradition, Oxford United had specially embroidered shirts.
