Anyone got any before/after pictures of the livery?

Would the vinyls have been applied before the final or is that something they do quickly overnight once Aberdeen won the cup?
The vinyls were applied in the week before the final. It isn’t practical to do these things at short notice overnight once the actual result is known. It’s fairly standard practice for teams to make such preparations, …just in case!

The open top bus used for the cup winners parade on Sunday, 9323, has had the vinyls removed and it currently on the AT1 Aberdeen open top tour in the state it arrived in Aberdeen. The usual 8924 started off today.
Just been announced that the open top bus from the parade (I assume it's the same bus but maybe not...) will be back to Aberdeen for the Dons Live event at TECA on Sunday 13th July... presumably they will have readded the vinyls again!?

FLY from Aberdeen is now bookable from 28 April 2025.
I see this had now been discontinued for the winter months. It doesn't look like the service has been confirmed if it will return for next year or not.

Any time I seen the bus passing me in Dundee it looked pretty empty.

It was not specifically stated, but the terming "pause for the winter months" would indicate that it would be coming back, but them saying it was experimental leaves room for it not coming back.
