Dundee’s 2003/04 season was a memorable one for the characters in the squad, even if the team finished 7th in the Scottish Premier League. Nacho Novo was the standout goalscorer, hitting 25 times in all competitions, while veteran Italian striker Fabrizio Ravanelli famously scored a hat-trick in a 5–2 League Cup win over Clyde. Dundee also had a run in Europe, beating Vllaznia 6–0 on aggregate before coming up against Perugia in the UEFA Cup.
This Xara training shirt has a brilliant early-2000s look, centred around a pale sky-blue body with navy panels stretching across the shoulders and into the sleeves. The white trim around the neck and sleeve edges gives it a crisp finish, while the old-style Dundee crest sits centrally on the chest alongside the Xara logo. With no main sponsor across the front, it has the simple appearance you would expect from training gear of the era.
This 2003/04 Dundee training shirt in Medium is a great piece for anyone who enjoys the more unusual side of Scottish football shirt collecting. The combination of Xara branding, the classic Dundee crest and the sky-blue and navy colour scheme really captures the period, while its connection to a squad featuring names such as Ravanelli, Novo and Craig Burley gives it plenty of nostalgia.
Condition Report: 7/10.
