Aberdeen 2025/2026 Home Shirt

ABERDEEN - HOME SHIRT 2025/2026 Aberdeen Football Club, founded in 1903 from the merger of three local sides, are a professional club from Scotland's granite city. Known affectionately as The Dons, The Dandy Dons, or simply The Reds, Pittodrie has been home since their inception - the ground that became the first all-seated stadium in Great Britain in 1978. Aberdeen remain the only Scottish club to have won two European trophies, both in 1983 under Sir Alex Ferguson: the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. The 2025/2026 campaign, in which this traditional home shirt was worn, began with the Dons as Scottish Cup holders - having stunned Celtic on penalties at Hampden the previous May to end a 35-year wait. Swedish manager Jimmy Thelin was sacked on 4 January after a 1-0 loss at Falkirk - a fourth defeat in five league games - with first-team coach Peter Leven taking interim charge before Steve Robinson stepped in. Aberdeen ultimately finished 8th in the Scottish Premiership on 40 points, in the bottom-six split. The cup-runs were no kinder. The Scottish Cup defence ended in a humbling 3-0 quarter-final defeat at Championship side Dunfermline in March. Whilst in Europe, a Europa League play-off loss to FCSB sent Aberdeen into the Conference League league phase, where they finished 35th out of 36 - including a 6-0 mauling at AEK Athens that went down as the worst result in the club's European history. Striker Kevin Nisbet, signed permanently in the summer, was the lone consistent presence up top, finishing as the club's top scorer with 11 across the season. Follow the club on X: @AberdeenFC
