The current Aberdeen FC was born out of the merger of three city clubs; Aberdeen, Victoria United and Orion. A public meeting on March 20, 1903 was attended by more than 1,600 citizens, and on that date the amalgamation issue was discussed and given the go-ahead. On April 14 that same year the merger was made official and Aberdeen Football Club was born.The merger allowed Aberdeen (wearing an all-white kit) to seriously entertain thoughts of joining the Scottish Football League, but had to settle with spending its inaugural season in the Northern League having narrowly failed to gain admission to the First Division.League football arrived in 1904-05 as Aberdeen were accepted to the Second Division, and immediately changed kit colours to black and gold giving them the nickname of the wasps. Despite finishing 7th in the league, Aberdeen successfully applied to join the First Division for the 1905-06 season and embarked on what has become an unbroken run of top flight football. Only Rangers and Celtic along with Aberdeen have never been relegated from top-flight British football.
