- United Yellows: For Oxford United, founded as Headington Football Club in 1893, the club adopted its current name in 1960. Nicknamed The Us or the Yellows.
- Dreaming Spires Stone: The Dreaming Spires are the spired domes and towers that make up the skyline of Oxford.
- Cowley Chrome: For Cowley, which was transformed after 1912 when William Morris relocated Morris Motors Limited and made it a world-famous centre of automotive and engineering skills.
- Inklings Blue: For The Inklings, a literary discussion group associated with JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis at the University of Oxford, meeting at The Eagle and Child Pub.
- Sub Fusc Black: For Sub Fusc (from the Latin sub fuscus meaning very dark), worn by students beneath their academic gowns when sitting examinations.
