The 1903–04 season was the eleventh season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division One, where they would finish in 5th place. Dundee would also compete in the Scottish Cup, where they would progress to the quarter-finals and take eventual champions Celtic to two replays before being defeated.[1] This would be the first season where Dundee would wear their now common look of navy shirts, white shorts and navy socks.[2]
