The 1927–28 season was the thirty-third season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division One. After a poor start, manager Alec McNair was replaced by Sandy MacFarlane in his 2nd stint, who led the Dark Blues to finish in 14th place.[1] Dundee would also compete in the Scottish Cup, where they would make it to the 3rd round before being knocked out by Dunfermline Athletic.[2] The club would also wear black shorts occasionally as a change kit.[3]
