To say that Aberdeen fans are not happy with their new away kit would be an understatement.
The Dons unveiled the Adidas-designed kit earlier this afternoon on Twitter as they look ahead to the coming season.
Derek McInnes will still be at the helm after rejecting a £1million a year contract at Sunderland to stay at Pittodrie.
And he faces a huge summer of overhaul after seeing many of his key players head for the exit door.
One of those was club captain Ryan Jack who switched to Rangers in one of the most controversial transfer sagas since Scott Allan.
However, the midfielder would be forgiven for thinking he is still a Dons player after seeing the club’s new blue away kit.
The Scottish Cup runners-up released the new jersey on Twitter today and faced a massive backlash from raging Aberdeen fans who believed it looked too much like Rangers’ colours.
As Derek & the team prepare to return for pre-season we are pleased to unveil our 2017/18 @AdidasUK away kit! #HereToCreate #StandFree pic.twitter.com/1CW9wPzh18

The most out of touch shirt design ever. Unfortunately I won't be buying this

Won't be buying that. Massive mistake by both parties. Can see this being the worst selling away kit we've had. Blue….really?!?!? No.

When I saw this tweet I thought it was a joke. Went on AFC website and could not believe it.

On the other hands, Rangers supporters were quick to respond to the new kit, with every single one of them loving it.

In an extraordinary bid to try and keep hold of Rangers fan Kenny McLean, Aberdeen launch blue kit.
Approved by Rangers fan McInnes. pic.twitter.com/3wm7oFijFL
