Official Puma Derby County home football shirt from the 1997 season.
This was a 'sample' version of the jersey, manufactured by Puma before the release of the regular jersey that went on sale with a 'Puma' sponsor on the front. A Calico is a large cat (puma), coloured white, black and amber - probably the reason why it was chosen as a sample sponsor.
Condition of this vintage football jersey is 9/10 – Superb (see photos).
Derby County began life at their new stadium by progressing further on the previous season's solid 12th place finish. Jim Smith's team emerged as surprise contenders for a UEFA Cup place, and European qualification (for the first time in over 20 years) was still a possibility on the final day of the season. But results didn't go Derby's way, and that final European place went to Aston Villa.
The end-of-season arrival of Argentine defender Horacio Carbonari gave Derby fans fresh hope of challenging for a place in Europe.
