Ajax and adidas revealed their new 21/22 Home kit.
Inspired by an iconic era, adidas turned the clock back to Ajax Amsterdam's most successful period when they designed this home jersey. The clean look, thick crew collar, narrower red stripe and classic club crest all point to the early '70s, when a team of legends and their total football philosophy ruled Europe.
For the new home shirt, a historical logo will be back on the home jersey, in what is a one-off tribute to the fans. This logo does not contain the championship stars, like that was also not the case back in the days. The three stars do show as a neck detail, with a subtle addition of the three Andreas crosses.

Besides the historical logo, for once the colour red is also adjusted and the red vertical bar on the shirt will be more narrow, to complete the direct association with the historical Ajax shirts.
Just like some earlier shirts, the Ajax logo is party placed on the red part, and partly on the white of the shirt.
The shirt also has a special gesture from main sponsor Ziggo: they allow for a smaller execution of the Ziggo logo, to make way for the narrower red bar on the shirt. In the neck of the shirt, on the inside, the current Ajax can be found including the three championship stars.
Suiting the classic theme, during national games the Ajax will only play with numbers on the back and no names. In European matches the team will play with full names & numbers, in accordance with the UEFA guidelines. In the bottom, the numbers contain the ‘old logo’ as subtle detail as well.
