Kit Manufacturer

The name of American sports retailer Starter featured on the 2016/17 kits. Their name first appeared on the shirts worn at Wembley the previous season after Starter became involved as a ‘retail partner’.

EFL Branding

The Football League re-branded as the 'EFL' and introduced a new style of shirt numbers, letters and competition sleeve patches.

The 2016 change colours were a ‘reverse’ colour combination of the home strip. The contrasting shoulder and rib panels were identical styling to the goalkeeper jerseys.

Goalkeeper Kits

The goalkeeper strips were refreshed with much brighter colours following the dark affairs from the previous season.

For the home fixture versus Scunthorpe, the Oxford goalkeepers were incorrectly wearing the blue kit, which clashed with Scunthorpe’s sky blue shirts and socks. The kick-off was delayed whilst this was hastily rectified. For the first half, Simon Eastwood wore blue socks, with matching green found for the second half.

Remembrance Weekend

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.

FA Cup Shirts

Despite a high-profile fourth-round tie against Newcastle, it was not until the fifth round tie at Middlesbrough that Oxford United wore shirts featuring FA Cup competition sleeve patches.

LEAGUE Trophy Final

For the second year running, Oxford United reached the League Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium. The shirts featured Checkatrade Trophy sleeve patches and were printed with commemorative text on the chest.

2017/18 Kit Launch

Oxford United released their 2017/18 home kit for the final game of the season.

This is something that other clubs had been doing for several years. However, it was the first time that Oxford United had been commercially organised to be able to take advantage of the rule which permits this kit change for the final home fixture.

The idea is that clubs will benefit from retail sales during the quieter summer months, as supporters will be keen to show off the team's latest apparel whilst away on their summer holidays.
