As far as I can make out it was the only kit in the league at that time to feature one - everywhere else it was V-necks and crew-necks. Hello Tony, you have got a point there actually but as someone that grew up watching SUFC in blue, white (and a smidgen of red!) the yellow took a while to get used to.

The design looks quite fashionable for the 80's. I suppose such a change in colours is a kit version of naming stadiums today. The sponsor idea might represent unity but it might also mean that the sponsor is clearer than the other badges. The two badges either side simply help the club sponsor logo stand out.
