Aberdeen have paid homage to their original black and gold origins after unveiling their new away kit.
Women’s first-team players Francesca Ogilvie and Maddie Finnie unveiled the kit at club sponsor Boskalis’ office in Westhill.
After wearing white and navy blue in their opening season in 1903, following the merger of Aberdeen, Victoria United and Orion, the Dons were originally nicknamed the Wasps after adopting a black and gold-striped shirt for the 1904-05 season.
The strip was w0rn until just before the start of the Second World War in 1939, when the now famous red and white was adopted.
The new away kit reveal came as the club’s shirt sponsor Boskalis announced they are extending their sponsorship of the women’s team for a further three years.
John Lawrie Metals have also come on board as a sponsor with their logo appearing on the back of the shirts.
The new away kit – with the men’s version adorned with the logo of sponsor Texo – is available to purchase now via afc.co.uk/shop or from the Pittodrie Club Shop from 9.30am on Wednesday.
