The shirt is a slightly darker shade of yellow with a V-neck, and has different trimmings to last season.

The new strip is now on sale in United's club shop, which will stay open an extra hour today until 6pm.

Shirts cost - adults: £39.99, children £29.99. Shorts are £17.99 and £14.99 respectively and socks £6.99 and £5.99. The away strip remains the same.

OXFORD United fans have been given the chance to bid for a football shirt signed by their heroes.

The shirt is one of 93 which have been donated by the Premier and Nationwide Leagues, as well as the England squad, and is being auctioned by The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (GDBA) as part of their 'put your shirt on a dog' campaign.

Proceeds from the campaign will benefit GDBA, who currently provide more than 4,600 guide dogs across the UK for blind and partially sighted people.
