The Derby County 1999–01 Home Retro Football Shirt recalls the Rams' turn-of-the-millennium years at Pride Park under Jim Smith. After consecutive top-ten Premier League finishes in the late 1990s, Derby faced a tougher period, finishing 16th in 1999–00 before battling to 17th place and survival again in 2000–01. One of the defining results of the latter campaign came at Old Trafford in May 2001, where Derby recorded a memorable 1–0 victory over champions Manchester United and secured their Premier League status.
 
The side featured a distinctive mix of British and international talent, including Giorgi Kinkladze, Stefano Eranio, Rory Delap, Malcolm Christie, Horacio Carbonari and Mart Poom. Delap finished as Derby's leading Premier League scorer with eight goals in 1999–00, while Christie developed into one of the team's main attacking options the following season. Kinkladze added the flair and creativity that made him one of the most recognisable players associated with this period at Pride Park.
 
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its clean white body and contrasting black detailing, a simple but unmistakable interpretation of Derby County's traditional colours. The sharp black V-neck and black sleeve-edge trim stand out against the otherwise minimal white construction, while the prominent EDS sponsorship across the chest gives the design its distinctive late-1990s and early-2000s Premier League identity. Free from the elaborate patterns seen on many earlier 1990s shirts, its understated black-and-white layout makes it a particularly recognisable design from Derby's Pride Park era.
