Oxford United & Macron Drop Slick Black & Gold 25/26 Away Shirt

Exactly a month after unveiling their Home look, Oxford United and technical partner Macron are back at it again, pulling the wraps off a bold new Away shirt for the 2025/26 campaign. And if the home kit was all about heritage and clarity, this one leans confidently into contemporary class.

Dressed head-to-toe in black with luxurious gold detailing, the new Oxford United Away Kit is a striking display of modern elegance. It’s the type of kit that demands a double-take—not just because of its colourway, but thanks to the intricate visual texture worked into the fabric itself. The shirt features an all-over embossed graphic that plays with light and texture to give it a subtle yet dynamic edge—refined from afar, but rich with detail up close.

Gold trims on the crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs add a regal touch, while the Macron Hero and Oxford’s iconic ox head crest take pride of place stacked centrally on the chest, both decked out in a 3D-effect gold that pops perfectly against the deep black base.

Round the back, the design continues with a nod to the club’s roots. “1893”, the year the club was founded, is heat-printed on the neck in gold, flanked by a pair of mini ox head motifs that tie it all together with subtle class.

Inside the collar, a bespoke neck label keeps things close to home—and far from generic. Set against a navy background that mirrors the shirt’s tonal pattern, it features the club crest and the words “DREAM. INSPIRE.” in vibrant yellow. Below that, “Designed in Bologna” proudly certifies the Italian craftsmanship that defines every Macron kit, all produced at the brand’s innovation-driven Macron Campus in collaboration with the club.

It’s a sharp evolution of Oxford’s Away identity—dark, refined, and built to stand out on the road. One for the collectors, and one that’s bound to turn heads on matchdays.
