New kit...
Heard a rumour a little while ago that this year's kit would be gold shirts with black shorts, colours we had when we became Oxford United, I think because it's the 50th anniversary. I wrote it off thinking we had to go back to the normal yellow and blue after this (or last depending on which season you say we're in now) season's controversy over the kit. But I went on Ox Kits the other day and saw a gold Oxford shirt, which was being claimed as next season's shirt: http://www.oxkits.co.uk/ . If it is real I like the shirt, and the idea but feel that it's badly timed, I was looking foward to a proper yellow shirt again! Anyone know about the accuracy of the rumour or any opinions on the shirt?

See this quite interesting thread just a while ago on this very forum...

Is that shirt really gold in your eyes? Cos that strikes me as a marigold more than a primrose, but it's still not the amber of our halcyon days.
What's more it would look bloody garish with blue shoulders and black shorts...no thanks!

Re:
Totally disagree with this sentiment. At least half a dozen other clubs call themselves yellows and we frequently get the same chant from both sets of supporters. Club nicknames should be something unique as in the Rams, Stags, Shrimpers, Black Cats ... etc. Oxen is the obvious."Yellow-Robbo" wrote:Keep the shirt the same (as the design on OxKits) but make it yellow instead of gold! I want to shout "YELLOWS" as the players run out and mean it again!
Indeed, if I recall correctly, did we not play torquay with them wearing our yellow shirts last season? Embarrassing.
Oh - and the black and old gold of the sixties always looked good.

Yes, particularly at the Kasstad when the Torquay fans were singing "come on you yellows". We, of course were in blue."Dartford Ox" wrote:[

When I was referring to 'meaning it' when I shout 'Yellows', it is because we played in blue this year?! Not that hard to understand is it.
I liked our kit this season but I just want yellow shirts brought back in

Edit: I'd like the current kit, but replace the blue checks with gold, so we'd have a two-tone yellow top.

Always thought that "the 'Ford" would be a good nickname, which I think would be unique, or at least far less common than both "the U's" or "the Yellows"...."JoeyBeauchamp" wrote:Come on you Oxen???"Dartford Ox" wrote:Club nicknames should be something unique as in the Rams, Stags, Shrimpers, Black Cats ... etc. Oxen is the obvious.

Anyone fancy 'The Tourists' or 'The Students'?!

I have to say, I've never really been bothered by what the shirt looks like, and didn't really get it when people expressed opinions - they just looked like football shirts to me.
That was until last season, when suddenly the team I support didn't have a yellow shirt any more. Then I cared quite a lot.
So basically, as long it it changes back to yellow of some description, then I'll be happy.
