Kit Manufacturer
This was to be Starter's last season associated with Oxford United.
Sponsors
For the first time in many seasons, all three sponsors remained unchanged. This was to be the final season of Liontrust's 3-year deal.
EFL Branding
The Skybet competition sleeve patches and numbers remained unchanged from 2016.
Home Kit & Away Variations
With Base
Layer
The 2017 kit had an air of familiarity about it, as the shirt design was simply a colour reversal of the 2016 away shirt.
Once again, there were no long-sleeved shirts provided, so the slightly darker yellow 'Sub' base layers were provided.
The blue socks were a mismatched colour when compared to the rest of the kit.
Some players wore smaller-sized shirts featuring a junior-sized sponsors logo (see player 18). This was because the navy rib panels reduced the width of the chest area.
Away Kit
With Base
Layer
Oxford United last wore ‘all-black’ during the 2005 season. This particular design had grey/silver detailing, giving the kit a smart, understated look.
Goalkeeper Kits
Remembrance Weekend
This was the first time a yellow shirt featured a poppy. Until this point, every remembrance weekend had coincided with an away fixture, with Oxford always wearing away colours.
Chairman Darryl Eales pre-bought all 18 shirts with a donation to the Royal British Legion. He planned to resell the shirts to genuine collectors, with the second round of proceeds donated to the Royal British Legion.
