Which of Aberdeen’s 32 away kits between 1979/80 and 2024/25 is your favourite?

We've dug out pictures of every away strip in Dons history (which we could find colour images of) following the unveiling of the club's Wasps heritage-honouring 2024/25 offering.

Aberdeen have unveiled their 2024/25 away kit, paying homage to the club’s Wasps heritage and modelled by the Dons women’s team in the release video.

The latest change kit follows on the back of 2023/24’s record-breaking Northern Lights-inspired 2023/24 offering, which received very positive reviews and broke sales records.

But do either the 2024/25 or 2023/24 away strips deserve the title of best Aberdeen away kit ever?

That’s for you to decide – by perusing the list below, which features pictures of 32 away strips from Dons history, all in colour.

The away kits below go back all the way to 1979 – with five different Aberdeen kit manufacturers used over that near-45-year period.

It has been no mean feat to find colour images of them all in the archives, with some proving tricky to track down due to only being worn in actual matches once or twice.

However, we discovered the magic formula of filtering the search down to away games against Hearts (mainly), Dundee United and Hamilton Accies, and we eventually managed to find them all.

NOTE: This list features away kits. Strips which were only ever third kits are not included.

Here’s Willie Miller (left) and Gordon Strachan on the night Aberdeen won the 1983 European Super Cup, in the away strip the Dons wore for the two pound-for-pound best seasons in the club’s history – 1982/83 and 1983/84. Image: SNS.
