AFC Rushden & Diamonds Away football shirt 1998 - 2000

1998 - 2000 AFC Rushden & Diamonds away football shirt. The 1998-2000 Away Shirt was the same design as the 1998-1999 Home Shirt but Yellow with Black Sleeves with a White & Black 'wave/swirl' like design. A template design that 'OS' used on other shirts they produced for the likes of Scarborough, Southend United, Dundee United and Northern Ireland.

This Away Shirt was worn for two seasons throughout 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 despite the 1999-2000 Home Shirt changing to celebrate the 2000 Millennium.

OLYMPIC SPORT remained as kit manufacturer but changed their logo that appeared on shirts to 'OS'.

Rushden Chairman Max Griggs's DR.MARTENS (AirWair) footwear company replaced WHITWORTHS as Shirt Sponsor.

The Diamonds could once again only manage 4th place in the Conference. However, this final standing was determined by a disappointing final day defeat to Northants rivals Kettering Town who won 2-1 at Nene Park meaning The Poppies finished 2nd, Runners-Up to League Champions Cheltenham Town. The Diamonds could have earnt that spot had they won the game but had to settle for 4th, behind Hayes in 3rd.

Darren Collins was, again, top scorer for Diamonds on 17 League Goals.
