On 15th September 1987 @afc.co.uk were on UEFA Cup duty at Dalymount Park. A tight tie where they only drew 0-0 with a 1-0 follow up at Pittodrie. Still, a nice embroidered pennant was received into #TheAberdeenCollection and the trip to Dublin was great for the fans.
In June 1956 the touring @afc.co.uk party played a match against a Saskatchewan Select, running up a score of 17-0. The spoering Canadiand presented the Dons with this memento of our visit and it is now a part of #TheAberdeenCollection and remains on show in the Boardroom to this day.
The @afc.co.uk UEFA Cup tie against Dynamo Dresden at Pittodrie wasn't a memorable one, but Dynamo did present the Dons with a nice double-sided pennant that now resides within #TheAberdeenCollection - one of many hundreds standing patiently by for the chance to go on show whenever we can manage it.
Pittodrie - The History has gone to a second printing and is now available through our online store afcheritagetrust.bigcartel.com and available for your delctation. As before all proceeds go into AFC Heritage funds to help with #TheAberdeenCollection

We see your copy and raise to two for #TheAberdeenCollection
What a great era Dick oversaw. We have an article about the man himself, not so much about his chairmanship as his playing career. Few people can claim to have spent so many years with the Dons

Working on #TheAberdeenCollection we have just come upon a huge bundle of these cards. No doubt somebody out there will be able to tell us all about them. Looks like they are from 1981 and we have to find some more - 17 here but not the full playing squad. Any information welcome. #COYR
You can help us look after #TheAberdeenCollection by picking up a copy of the @afcheritage.bsky.social calendar from the @afc.co.uk Club Shop.
Thank you if you can chip in.

Does anybody recognise this supporter event? Early 80s with Willie Miller and Brian Mitchell in attendance.
The photo is part of the Sports Projects collection within #TheAberdeenCollection
Nothing quite like holding printed material in your own hands. Especially if it turns out to be @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social heading for #TheAberdeenCollection - always a grand read.

This is one of the thousands of photos in #TheAberdeenCollection but what is going on? Was it for an advert or just the photographer playing around? We don't know yet.
Will we ever find a set of that kit for #TheAberdeenCollection ? Or the white version.... challenging to say the least.
Nice picture from #TheAberdeenCollection - @afc.co.uk Alex McLeish keeps his eye in with a bit of keepie-up. This would be about 1980.
Time for another Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection - not sure of the exact vintage - 70's perhaps?
Funny what crops up in #TheAberdeenCollection -
here, a very dapper Willie Miller poses in the Unipart Store in a photoshoot for a programme advert. We have yet to get an exact date for this one but it looks very early 80s. Thankfully Willie didn't give up the day job.
Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection - well, a blazer badge really but along the same lines. We have not yet figured out the age of this one.
Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection - looks like this one predates the @afc.co.uk official logo so falls back on the City coat of arms.
#COYR
Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection - not sure what the foliage is about but this doule disc number gets the message over that we folow @afc.co.uk
Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection and it features the King of the Beach End - Joey Harper afcheritage.org/football/pla... 45 years since he kicked a ball for @afc.co.uk and he remains our top competitive goalscorer by some way.
Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection
A touch of the European, coz if you've got it, flaunt it.

Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection. Wings over Pittodrie... bit of a biker vibe here?
#COYR
Patch of the Day - from #TheAberdeenCollection - this one was brought home by the Washington Whips in 1967 so even if it doesn't look it, it is a part of #Dandies history.
#COYR
Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection - early 70s perhaps? Celebrating the 1969-70 Cup win.
#COYR
Inevitably #TheAberdeenCollection has one of these patches. Once a Beachender, always a Beachender.

Today's piece from #TheAberdeenCollection is the home cousin of yesterday's offering. Inspired by the shirt.
Glad to see you still have a copy. #TheAberdeenCollection has a few, including one signed by this Legend.
And another one in #TheAberdeenCollection -presumably produced to tie in with the Admiral yellow Dons' strip of 1976-77.
If only we had one of those shirts to go with it...
There are a good few patches in #TheAberdeenCollection but we bet there are loads of scarves and jackets festooned with more out there. Pics anybody?
