Aberdeen FC confirms it will wear last season’s away kit in today’s match with Hearts at Tynecastle due to a kit colour clash.

The Club was advised by the SPFL on Thursday 19th August of a clash with both our home (red) and away (navy) kits deemed by the Scottish FA Refereeing Dept as being unsuitable when compared to Hearts maroon home jersey.

Hearts did not agree to change to their second choice kit. As a result, and as per SPFL rules, we were given the option of registering a third choice kit or be obliged to wear Hearts away kit. Clearly, the latter was not an option and the Club has subsequently registered last season’s white, black and gold trim away kit as a third kit choice option to utilise in this afternoon’s match.
