 The 2000s

The trend for simpler designs continued with subtle piping and plain trim at collar and cuff.  Kappa’s body hugging Kombat 2000 range made its appearance in 2002 when it was worn by Tottenham Hotspur (inevitably).  The skin tight Lycra outfit was intended to emphasise the physique of the players but proved less popular with fans.

In 2003 Fulham introduced a dramatic asymmetrical design, a trend that was taken up by other clubs the following season.

New Balance produced a new home kit for this season - sponsored by Domino -  of yellow shirt with dark blue sleeves & collar, blue shorts with a wide yellow stripe on either side, and blue socks with a yellow turnover & blue banding.  The blue & white away kit from the previous season was used, but with the new sponsors logo.
This season saw the introduction of specific squad numbers for players, and was also the first in which players' names were shown on the shirt.

2000-01 Darren Patterson 'match worn' home shirt 'Away' shirt This shirt was a prototype made for this season, and recalled previous styles used by Headington Utd in the early 1900s.  Unfortunately, this design was not chosen, and the design which was finally settled on, currently has the 'honour' of leading the vote for the "worst Oxford shirt ever!" (see home page).

The first season at the new stadium also saw totally new kits all round - with TFG the new supplier and Buildbase as the new shirt sponsor, and also the new club crest.
The home shirt was in a shimmering yellow having blue under arm panels, with blue shorts and yellow socks.  The 'away' kit, using a similar material, reverted to an all white strip with yellow & blue reversed seams on the shirt.

The previous home strip was used for it's second season.  For the first time the club used a black 'away' shirt (having the now familiar reversed seams, in white & yellow) with black shirts and socks (although, white or yellow shorts & socks were also worn), although, for the majority of away matches an all yellow strip was used.

New home and away kits, produced by Carlotti.  The home kit had yellow shirts with navy blue flashes, navy blue shorts with yellow flashes and navy blue socks with yellow banding.  A variation of this kit, with yellow shorts and socks was used in many of the away fixtures.  The nominated 'away' kit was a return to all white (last used five seasons previously), with navy blue flashes on the shirts and shorts - and was used for this one season only as the 'away' colours.

The second year of the Carlotti made kits.  The home strip of the previous season used again (with new style socks), but a new royal blue 'away' kit used with various combinations of (new) white or royal blue shorts and socks.  The previous season's all white 'away' kit used as a third choice (although, with blue collar insert, as opposed to the previous season's yellow).
A sponsor (Jack FM) was used for the first time on the rear of the shirt.
