The Legacy

Panda sponsored this home shirt for Derby County in their return to the Premier League for 1996-1997. Jim Smith led the side to a 12th-place finish in their first year at Pride Park. Igor Stimac provided defensive stability alongside Chris Powell, while Dean Sturridge and Ashley Ward spearheaded the attack. Puma supplied the kit for a campaign defined by a comfortable mid-table finish, distancing the club from relegation fears. This season established the team as a top-flight fixture, with the attacking pairing of Sturridge and Ward frequently finding the net.

Key Moment
