Ajax Retro Shirts

The first kit that Ajax wore was all black, this was later changed to red and white shirts and black shorts. The red, white and black represented the colours on the flag of the city of Amsterdam. On promotion to the dutch first division in 1911 Ajax were forced to change their kit again to avoid a colour clash with Sparta Rotterdam, Ajax changed their shorts to white and add one broad vertical stripe on the shirts.

The Ajax shirt is one of the most instantly recognizable in world football. Legendary player Johan Cruijff helped make the shirt an icon during the early 70s at a time when Ajax dominated European football. In 2008 Ajax paid tribute to Cruijff’s efforts by retiring the number 14 shirt he wore for them from 1964 to 1974.
