Season 1893–94 was the first season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division One for the first time.[1] Throughout the season, Dundee would alternate between the two kits of their merger clubs, Dundee East End (sky blue stripes) and Dundee Our Boys (all navy blue).[2] Dundee would play the first half of their debut season at Our Boys' former ground, West Craigie Park, before moving to Carolina Port for the second half in 1894.
