New Kit 2019/20

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

I love a new kit. I shouldn't get excited as I do at my age about a kit I'm never going to wear myself but I always really look forward to the unveiling of the new kit.

OxBible has speculated this morning on what the new kit will be and it is similar to a template Puma offer:

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Tbf he was pretty close this season if I remember correctly.

 

[beyondthefourth]

I'd prefer the double yellow/gold of the template in the top left to the OxBible prediction.

 

[AbbeyOx]

wouldn’t mind this but ‘oranges, oranges’ doesn’t have the same ring to it (or come on you golds)

 

[BigCrompy]

My four penn'orth....

....as long as all the yellow shorts are ceremoniously burned on 3 May, I'll be happy.

There's a lot of blue in OxBible's prediction, but I could probably grow to like it.

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

A lot of blue in the shirt invariably means that you would have to change a lot in away games because of the amount of teams that play in blue. Oxford definitely need to go back to wearing blue shorts though.

 

[Mystery Yellow]

Just come across this how good would this look

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I agree. At Walsall away, I thought the team looked so much better (and so much more 'Oxford United') with the blue shorts.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Yeah, should return to blue shorts and socks.

 

[yellowbow]

I'd prefer the double yellow/gold of the template in the top left to the OxBible prediction.

I agree, I’d prefer the yellow and gold with dark blue shorts.

 

[battman]

Yeah, should return to blue shorts and socks.

I was always an advocate for yellow shorts until this season - it might be something to do with the kit but they just don't look right. Turning back to blue next season would be good. I do however think yellow socks should be included, especially if there is blue on the shirt. I don't want a repeat of the dreaded 2010/11 kit.

Not very?

A better view of the ‘double yellow’ shirt. I think the trim is black, would obviously be better in blue for us.

Good grief. That looks like a fake you’d find on the streets of Bangkok.

I wish I was more savvy with technology. I think with the OUFC badge and singha logo it would look more the part.

It was said on radio Oxford a few weeks back that the club will be returning to blue shorts. I'm not sure if it will be blue or yellow socks.

Just bought a mug from the club shop that looks like that!

 

[Wallop]

Yep - hideous and why would there be any homage to the spires given the University has no links with us

 

[Eastendyellow]

Henry Landers of North Leigh fame is advising Tiger and the board on the design new kit (are there no limits to Henners talents?), but only after he keeps NLFC up on Saturday, his last appearance, vs Evo Stick South Central Champions, Peterborough Sports, via netting a hat-rick of over the head bicycle kicks, before signing for OUFC.

The rumour circulating the Woodman Inn, North Leigh, is that, the Landers designed Kit and Henners will be flown to Thailand, for the media reveal, with the new PM, date TBC, which will be beamed back live to Sky Sports and Jim White to cover, no less. Harry Redknapp says that Henners is "well you know, a 'trrific talent and an absolutely fantastic lad, a cross between Nico Kranjaer and Crouchie! 'Trrific."

I actually quite like it, it would be different but that's not always a bad thing for a season or two, and at least it wont have Animalates plastered across the front of it (thank god).

As long as the blue shorts are back, I could deal with it, would need to see it in person though.

Oxford would very likely be just another minor provincial town if it weren't for the university. It would be unknown outside England. The city owes its modern-day wealth to the university and it amazes me that some people in Oxford want to distance themselves from it.

disagree - Cambridge maybe, ....Oxford definitely not .... lots of industry in and around Oxford (unlike the splitters), including the car, and related, factories, among other manufacturing outlets

 

[Sarge]

.... and besides all that ^ ... Oxford United until the name change very early 60s were Headington United, the Manor ground was in Headington, and there wasnt , at the time, any University in Headington ( an early incarnation of the old poly, now afforded Uni status, as Brookes Uni- a relatively recentish 'upgrade').
So exactly what is it that Oxford United, formerly Headington United, 'owes' to the University?

Hi Sarge. But those industries wouldn't be here without the university, don't you think?

And I don't think the club 'owes' the university anything. I just find it odd that a club and its fans in a city that is so well known for one particular thing seem to go to such great lengths to ignore that thing's existence. You look at traditional nicknames and the vast majority reflect what their home is famous for: Plymouth - Pilgrims, Luton - Hatters, Sheff U - Blades, Wycombe - Chairboys, Swindon - Scum, etc. And what's ours? U's, FFS. Meaningless.

It's not something I'm going to lose any sleep over, mind.

In all seriousness, I never got why we weren't the Oxes (Oxen? I guess that's why). Just such an uninspired and confusing nickname.
