Ajax Amsterdam and adidas have officially unveiled the Ajax 2026/27 third kit, introducing a stunning light blue change strip with dark blue detailing for the upcoming Eredivisie season. Released on May 8, 2026, this marks the first officially launched kit from Ajax’s 2026/27 collection and it has already drawn widespread praise from fans and collectors alike.
The colour scheme is a nostalgic nod to several iconic Ajax kits from the club’s history, including the light blue shirts worn during successful campaigns in the 1980s, the 2002/03 season, and the popular 2011/12 away design. The pale blue base is complemented by an abstract tonal graphic pattern that flows across the front, back, and sleeves, giving the shirt a premium, modern feel while honouring the club’s heritage.
Dark blue trim appears on the crew neck collar, sleeve cuffs, adidas shoulder stripes, and sponsor applications. Both the adidas logo and Ajax crest are rendered in matching dark blue, with three championship stars positioned proudly above the badge. Ziggo continues as the front-of-shirt sponsor, while Team Rockstars IT branding appears on the sleeve. On the reverse, player names and numbers are presented in dark blue, and three small crosses sit beneath the back collar — a subtle reference to the symbols associated with the city of Amsterdam.
The kit is completed with matching light blue shorts and socks, with dark blue alternatives also available for team use. This season also introduces separate championship star totals for the Ajax men’s and women’s sides, with one star displayed for every 10 league titles won.
Whether you’re heading to the Johan Cruyff Arena or watching from home, this Ajax third shirt is a must-have for any fan of the Amsterdam club. It pairs perfectly with other Eredivisie merchandise and is available in both fan and player versions.
