As always it’s got loads of great writing by Dons fans about the history of our great club.

Why?

Merry Christmas from us to you! Thank you for your support of the @afcheritage.bsky.social magazine.

Here’s a wee peek of the cover for the next issue, featuring a very wintry scene, as Dick Donald surveys Pittodrie during the Dons’ abandoned fixture against St Johnstone on 3 January 1984.

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

A likely story.

When folk dressed up smart to go ho the match.

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.

Looks like 67 the way the lads are dressed.

Or at least some hot milk.

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.

Issue 21 is here! Will get copies in the post by the the weekend.

It’s definitely one to look forward to, featuring not only these two legends on the cover, but the ten-goal debut of Toni Kombouare, Up Helly Aa’s Pittodrie connection & Graham Leggat’s 1955 LC final shirt.

Will we ever find a set of that kit for #TheAberdeenCollection ? Or the white version.... challenging to say the least.

BBC says about 800 there?

Going to print next week, the fifth anniversary issue of @afcheritage.bsky.social magazine will be with subscribers soon.

Still time to grab a copy online 👇👇👇

Graeme Shinnie just went into the @afc.co.uk All-Time Top 25 appearances at #25 alongside John McMaster.

A few older football paintings are now in my shop. I hope you can check it out. Also, commissions are open ... if there's a special piece, club, ground or memory that you'd like as a painting please get in touch. Thanks.

Nice picture from #TheAberdeenCollection - @afc.co.uk Alex McLeish keeps his eye in with a bit of keepie-up. This would be about 1980.

Copies of our Pittodrie History are still available online at: afcheritagetrust.bigcartel.com
It can also be picked up at The Owl at Number Two on Midstocket Road.
We hope to have it back in the @afc.co.uk
Club Shop soon.

Time for another Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection - not sure of the exact vintage - 70's perhaps?

You can read all about this thing of beauty in the next issue of @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social Worth the subscription on its own plus the bonus of many more excellent features.

Five years next month since the launch of Black & Gold. There’s some cracking covers in amongst this lot! @afcheritage.bsky.social

Great to see the Young Dons of @afc.co.uk bringing home one of the World's most magnificent trophies. And her is the man who donated it in 189o (and the one from 1887 that was handed to the original Aberdeen to keep after they won the first two tournaments.)

100 up for Nicky Devlin today for @afc.co.uk

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.
