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. #COYR

AFC Heritage‬ ‪@afcheritage.bsky.social‬ 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. #COYR

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. @afcheritage.bsky.social

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. #avfc #PVFC #whufc #scfc Link: paineproffittart.bigcartel.com/category/foo...

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 afcheritage.org/football/pla...

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.

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.

Patch of the Day from #TheAberdeenCollection A touch of the European, coz if you've got it, flaunt it. #COYR

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. #COYR

Gizmo wonders how @afc.co.uk will get on at Greeock tomorrow.

According to #TheAberdeenCollection every Dandy member of the Red Army is a:

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.

No apologies for reposting this, the cover from today’s programme. This will be someone’s first ever game and the programme is a physical memento of a day he or she will never forget, a unique snapshot in the life of a football club. These pieces of history must not die #BHAFC

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?

Fifty-five years ago today @afc.co.uk announced that a clock would be erected at the back of the South Terrace. It would become a well known landmark and meeting place on matchdays.

Well what a day! An easy cover for Issue 20 of Black & Gold - the list of Dons Scottish Cup winners (correct as of 24 May 2025)

Updated the cover for the next issue, by overlaying a photo of the cup in the Pittodrie foyer cabinet over the list of every Dons SC winner
