The Ajax range is one of the deepest in the catalogue, but a large share of what is listed is not a match shirt at all. Jackets, rain tops, tracksuits and warm-up gear take up almost as much room as the shirts themselves. Filter by home or away, or you will spend most of your time looking at training wear.
The home shirt — white with the broad vertical red panel — goes back here to the 1980s and covers the club’s European seasons. It is both the most wanted line and the best supplied.
Ajax hold thirty-six Dutch titles and four European Cups. They are one of only five clubs to have won all three major European trophies — European Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup — alongside Juventus, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United.
That standing is why their 1990s shirts trade at the level of the big Italian and Spanish clubs rather than the rest of the Eredivisie. Founded on 18 March 1900, the club takes its name from Ajax the Great, the Trojan War hero.
The 1-10 grade describes wear — fading, print cracking, collar condition — not wearability. A shirt at 7/10 wears perfectly well; it simply shows its age.
Player Issue means a cut prepared for the professional squad, tighter than the retail version. A Name Set is not a shirt at all, only the name and number lettering. Sizing follows the conventions of the year of manufacture: a 1990s large is noticeably roomier than a current one.
