‘Absolutely stunning’: Dundee fans react as club reveal Black Watch-inspired third kit

Dundee have “knocked it out of the park” with their new Black Watch-inspired third kit.

That was the verdict of supporters on social media after the club revealed their new look.

It continues the tartan theme that has run through this season’s kits and maintains Dundee’s long-standing partnership with armed forces charity SSAFA.

Black Watch tartan runs down the left-hand side of the shirt, which also features the regimental crest on the back along with the Latin motto ‘Nemo me impune lacessit’ (No one provokes me with impunity).

Dundee Football Club in partnership with @SSAFA (The Armed Forces Charity) are delighted to today release The Dundee FC 23/24 third Kit.

The third kit is now on sale from DFC Direct online and in the club store.https://t.co/siS50RDEmD

“There is no doubt I’m having this kit. The Black Watch has huge local significance in Dundee and surrounding areas, with near entire battalions wiped out at one battle in WWI.

“The local losses were massive. I’ll proudly sport this kit.”

Possibly the best kit released by the club?
