Dundee fans have had their first glimpse of next season’s away kit – and it has gone down a storm.
The Dee, who are currently in Ireland for a pre-season training camp, went public with their new all-white change kit on Friday morning.
And delighted supporters wasted no time dishing out their feedback – just as they did when the home kit was launched in the spring.
That is beautiful

On Twitter, Tony Portales DSC (@TiffoneyTheGoat) said of the kit, modelled by Cammy Kerr, new signing Scott Tiffoney and Adam Legzdins: “That is beautiful.”
Well-known radio presenter and DJ, Jim Gellatly (@JimGellatly) described it as: “Absolute class!”
And Nicola Ironside (@nicola_ironside) was ready to part with her hard-earned cash immediately, saying: “TAKE MY MONEY.”

The new Dee kit is all white but for two light blue tartan stripes – in a nod to the V&A’s tartan exhibition – running vertically from the left shoulder.
The standard version of the kit features sponsorship from Crown Engineering Services.
But the Dee have also made a ‘museum version’ of the shirt available in limited numbers, which carries no sponsorship logos.
Notably, both versions of the shirt carry an eye-catching, embroidered detail on the rear just below the collar.
Dundee fans know “Eh’m a Dee Till Eh Deh” as a song played before the teams emerge on a match day at Dens park.
The club have nodded to the popular tune – and phrase – by having “Dee till eh deh” stitched into their new away shirt.
That detail came closest to being a divisive issue on the new kit, with a few people appearing uncertain about its merits.

Dee fan @cassidy_kev, for instance, was not a fan.

But the few critics were easily drowned out by happy supporters, with Michael Prevost (@michaelprevost1) saying on Twitter: “It’s here and it’s beautiful!”
