Ajax Football Shirts

Ajax Football Kits

Ajax are one of the most successful club sides of all time, winning four European Cups, but have suffered heavily from the influx of money sweeping the major European leagues. Ajax are renowned not only for their famous red and white kit, but for their incredible youth system which has been responsible for many of the game’s greatest players including Dennis Bergkamp, Johan Cruyff, Patrick Kluivert and Marco van Basten.

Ajax’s last European trophy came in 1995 when a star studded team including Marc Overmars, Edwin van Der Saar and Clarence Seedorf defeated AC Milan 1-0 thanks to Patrick Kluivert. Despite the clubs decreasing influence on the European stage, sales of Ajax replica shirts and training kit remain strong as the clubs fantastic heritage ensures their continuing popularity.

Ajax Home Shirt

Although Ajax are famous for their red and white striped jersey, this has not always been the case, with the initial strip being black and red which were the colours of the city of Amsterdam crest, where the club are based. It was actually due to Dutch league rules, which forbid two teams from having the same coloured kit, that forced Ajax to look for an alternative upon promotion to the top flight in 1911 which caused them to introduce the white kit with red stripe that has become synonymous with Ajax Amsterdam and is one of the most instantly recognisable football shirts in the world.

The home jersey is worn with white shorts and white socks. The sponsor logo, club crest and Adidas badge are always incorporated into the red stripe section of the jersey.

Ajax Away Shirt

As iconic as the Ajax home shirt is, the requirements of the design have provided little flexibility to kit manufacturers over the years and as a result, we consistently see strong sales of the Ajax away kit.

Dark navy is the most popular colour for the away jersey, but recently seasons have seen light blue introduced as the second choice colour and even an illuminous green shirt in 2015-2016.
