When originally founded as Dundee Hibernian, they had followed the example of other clubs of similar heritage by adopting the traditionally Irish colours of green shirts and white shorts. By the time the club became Dundee United in 1923, the colours had been changed to white shirts and black shorts as they sought to distance themselves from their Irish origins. These colours persisted in various forms up until 1969, sometimes using plain shirts, but also at various times including Celtic-style broad hoops, Queen's Park-style narrow hoops and an Airdrie-style "V" motif.

Although this "classic" version had been used as the club crest on the cover of the matchday programme as early as 1956, it had never appeared on the players' strip prior to 1983. Since 1959, various other designs had been worn on the shirts, incorporating either the lion rampant or the letters DUFC, often on a circular badge.

The club first introduced shirt sponsorship in the 1985-86 season when future chairman Eddie Thompson's VG chain sponsored the club in the first of a two-year deal.

The comparative age and proximity of their stadia has led to the possibility of both clubs moving to a new, purpose-built shared stadium being discussed on various occasions. The most recent and serious proposal for this was put forward as part of Scotland's bid to joint-host the 2008 European Football Championship,[18] with several clubs seeking to benefit from a new stadium[19] with planning permission given to a proposed site at Caird Park. The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football [20] Special dispensation was requested to proceed with the proposal,[21] as rules at the time forbade SPL teams from groundsharing.

There have been several stories regarding the origins of the 'Arabs' term. The most popular view is that the name was coined during the severe winter of the 1962-63 season. The weather was so bad, with heavy snow that refused to thaw, that between December and March, Dundee United were able to play only three times. One of these was a Scottish Cup tie against Albion Rovers, for which the management, in a desperate attempt to get Tannadice playable, hired an industrial tar burner to melt the several inches of snow and ice from the pitch. The Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, usually known as the Scottish Cup, is the national football cup competition of Scotland Albion Rovers Football Club are a Scottish football team from the North Lanarkshire town of Coatbridge, who are currently playing in Not only did it do this, but it also removed the grass.

The araB gene Promoter is a bacterial promoter activated by e L-arabinose binding [24] Other sources point to earlier usage, with a "1950s sandtrap" used as one such reference. [25] The fans, however, used the term to describe themselves. The term was then later resurrected during the early 1990s through the pages of the popular Dundee United football fanzine, The Final Hurdle, with supporters soon declaring that they were 'Proud To Be An Arab'. A fanzine (see also Zine) is a nonprofessional publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre for the pleasure Deacon Blue singer and long-time Dundee United supporter Ricky Ross even wrote a song declaring this fact.

Achievements

League

The club's first trophy came in 1925, when they won the 1924-25 Division Two championship. After two seasons in the top tier, the club were relegated, but they won the Division Two title for a second time in 1928-29. Immediate relegation followed and the club finished runners-up in 1931-32. Another runners-up spot was claimed in 1959-60, in manager Jerry Kerr's first season, and it was from here that the club would remain in the top division for the next thirty-five years. John 'Jerry' Kerr ( 1912 - November 8 1999) was a Scottish football player and manager best known as manager of Dundee United Under Jim McLean's management, the club clinched the Premier Division title for the first time in 1982-83, resulting in European Cup football the following season.

The 2003&ndash04 Scottish Premier League was won by Celtic. As league Champions, Celtic qualified for the UEFA Champions League with runners-up

Cups

The club had to wait several decades before the first chance at cup silverware, when they began the first of a six-game losing streak of Scottish Cup Final appearances in 1973-74, losing 3-0 to Celtic. The Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, usually known as the Scottish Cup, is the national football cup competition of Scotland The Celtic Football Club is a Scottish football club based in the east end of Glasgow, which currently plays in the Scottish Premier League. Towards the end of the 1970s, things began to change, with three successive appearances in the League Cup Final. The Scottish Football League Cup is an Association football competition open to all Scottish Football League and Scottish Premier League clubs First, a win in 1979-80 with a 3-0 replay victory over Aberdeen. Aberdeen Football Club (also known as The Dons, The Reds and The Dandies) is a Scottish professional football club based in Aberdeen The following season, the club reached the Scottish Cup final too, and while they were successful in defending the League Cup against rivals Dundee (3-0), lost out again in the Scottish Cup with a replay defeat to Rangers. Dundee Football Club, founded in 1893 are a football team based in the city of Dundee, Scotland. Rangers Football Club are an Association football team based in Glasgow Scotland, who currently play in the Scottish Premier League. The following season, in 1981-82, United failed to make it a hat-trick of successive League Cup wins when they lost 2-1 to Rangers.

United then suffered the agony of reaching three out of four Scottish Cup finals in the mid-1980s, only to lose them all by a single goal. First came a 2-1 defeat to Celtic in 1984-85, compounded by a 1-0 League Cup final loss to Rangers in the same season; then a 1-0 defeat in extra time to St Mirren in 1986-87; and finally, a last-minute 2-1 loss against Celtic the following year, despite being a goal ahead. Saint Mirren Football Club (commonly known by the shortening St A three year gap ensued before the 1990-91 Scottish Cup final, which pitted Jim McLean against his brother Tommy, at Motherwell.

The final was won 4-3 by 'Well, with United again losing in extra time. The sixth Cup Final loss was also the club's fifth final appearance in eleven years. Fortunately, United finally reversed the trend and clinched the Cup when Craig Brewster's goal defeated Rangers in 1993-94 for a 1-0 win. Craig James Brewster (born 13 December 1966 is a Scottish Association football manager and former player Eleven years passed until the next, and most recent, Scottish Cup final appearance, when United lost 1-0 to Celtic. Sandwiched in the middle of these appearances was a defeat on penalties to Stenhousemuir in the Scottish Challenge Cup (when United failed to concede in the whole competition) and a 3-0 defeat to Celtic in the 1997-98 Scottish League Cup Final. Stenhousemuir Football Club is a Scottish football team based in the small town of Stenhousemuir.

Six of United's eight Scottish Cup finals have been against the Old Firm, and of the club's last five losses, all have been by a single goal. Overall, United have reached thirteen domestic finals, and won three; the record of winning one of eight Scottish Cup finals is the worst ratio of any Cup winner. United twice reached both cup finals in the same season (1980-81 and 1984-85), winning just one of the four. United most recently lost the 2008 CIS league cup final on penalties to Rangers. This happened after the match had finished 2-2 after extra time.
