Ajax

AFC Ajax are the defining club of Dutch football and one of Europe's most celebrated institutions. Four European Cups, 36 Eredivisie titles, and a tradition of developing the world's finest footballers through one of the game's great academies make Ajax an unmissable part of football shirt history. The red and white vertical stripes with the black collar are among the most iconic kits in world football, and the 1970s Ajax sides that dominated European football with total football remain the gold standard of the game. Founded in 1900, Ajax play at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam and compete in the Eredivisie. Key honours include four UEFA Champions League titles, one UEFA Cup, one Cup Winners Cup, and 36 Eredivisie titles. Known as De Godenzonen (Sons of the Gods), Ajax are one of world football's most respected and widely imitated clubs. The Ajax home shirt is one of football's truly iconic designs. The broad red and white vertical stripes separated by a thick black collar have been worn by Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, and Zlatan. The 1971-73 European Cup winning kits are the gold standard. Adidas dressed the club through decades of their most celebrated periods, producing some of the cleanest and most celebrated kits in the game. The all-white away kits have their own elegance. Any serious shirt collection needs an Ajax shirt.
