All garments were non-branded and bespoke to Oxford United, with production and retailing overseen by the club.
With a much more effective board and commercial department, Oxford United secured a new three-year sponsorship deal with Liontrust, a specialist fund management company based in London.
Polythene UK returned as the back-of-shirt sponsor.
After ten years, this was the last season featuring this particular style of Football League number and lettering. Oxford changed their number colour to black, personally, I prefer blue.
The Skybet competition sleeve patches remained unchanged.

The 2015/16 season marked the 30th anniversary of Oxford United winning the League Cup. The home kit was a modern interpretation of the 1986 strip worn at Wembley.
Initially, the club said that the classic Minoan Ox Head badge would feature for just this anniversary season. However, an opinion poll showed overwhelming support for reinstating the simple Minoan Ox as the club's official badge. Pleasingly the club listened.
There were no long-sleeved shirts produced, so again 'Sub' base layers were provided.
The alternative variations seemed to be the preferred choice for away fixtures during the 2015 season, with the traditional yellow/blue/blue combination only worn away at Stevenage.

The change kit mimicked the popular 'AC Milan' inspired colours worn during the mid-1990s. This was a clear favourite of the ‘away’ shirts during the social media campaign to gauge fan's favourite former kits.
Pleasingly, the design template was identical to the first-choice kit.
At Brentford, a mismatched orange strip was worn featuring a 2014 Avec jersey and shorts. The shirt featured the Liontrust logo, but not the back-of-shirt sponsor, as the pre-applied Avec shirt number was positioned too high to allow enough space. The Avec garments were paired with the new 2015 black away socks.
Sam Slocombe wore both the official green goalkeeper shirt and a short-sleeved Sondico shirt.
The 2016 remembrance weekend again saw teams across the country wearing commemorative poppy shirts. Once again, Oxford United had an away fixture, with the match shirts sold at auction to raise money for the Royal British Legion.
From the third round, clubs were permitted to wear FA Cup competition sleeve badges. Previously, this insignia had been reserved for the teams playing in the FA Cup Final.
Shirts featuring FA Cup badges were worn for the televised third-round match against Swansea.
Interestingly, these shirts did not feature for the fourth-round tie versus Blackburn Rovers.
Oxford United wore a new variation of their shirts and shorts for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final. The shirts looked ever so slightly different, with the navy band in the V-neck wider than earlier issued garments.
The shirts featured commemorative text under the club badge and Johnstone's Paint Trophy competition sleeve patches.
For the first time, the shirts sported the logo of 'Starter', an American-based sports clothing company that became involved with the club's retail operation.
Oxford United secured additional sponsorship on the rear shorts, with former club sponsors Buildbase showing their support for the Wembley final.
