Designed for the loyal fanbase, this replica kit captures the essence of Ajax while offering supreme comfort for everyday wear and matchday excitement.

Design Story: A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic

The Ajax home kit is instantly recognisable worldwide, defined by its bold, central red stripe on a clean white canvas. For the 2024/25 season, Adidas has paid homage to this iconic look while introducing subtle, elegant updates that speak to both tradition and contemporary style.

Iconic Red Stripe with Subtle Detail

The heart of the design remains the striking vertical red band. However, upon closer inspection, this season’s stripe features a subtle, intricate pattern woven within it. This detail adds depth and texture, elevating the classic design with a modern touch that reflects the club’s forward-thinking spirit while respecting its deep roots.

Classic Collar and Cuffs

A nod to vintage football aesthetics, the jersey features a classic ribbed collar, providing a comfortable and stylish fit. The sleeve cuffs mirror this ribbed design, creating a cohesive and polished look that feels both retro and current.

Authentic Club Crest and Adidas Logo

The legendary Ajax crest is proudly displayed on the chest, symbolising decades of success and a unique football philosophy. On the Fan Version, the crest is typically embroidered, offering a durable, tactile finish that stands the test of time and countless washes. Opposite the crest sits the iconic Adidas logo, also embroidered, signifying the quality and partnership behind the kit.

Sponsor Integration

The main sponsor logo is heat-applied below the crest and Adidas logo, seamlessly integrated into the design. The sleeve sponsor is also present, completing the authentic matchday look that fans know and love.

Technology Breakdown: Stay Comfortable with AEROREADY

Engineered for the stands and casual wear, the Ajax 2024/25 Fan Jersey incorporates Adidas’s AEROREADY technology. This advanced material is designed to keep you feeling dry and comfortable, whether you’re cheering from the stadium, watching at home, or out and about.

How AEROREADY Works

AEROREADY fabric is constructed with moisture-wicking properties. It works by drawing sweat away from your skin and dispersing it across the fabric’s surface, where it can evaporate quickly. This process helps regulate your body temperature and prevents the clingy, uncomfortable feeling of dampness.

Benefits for the Fan

• Moisture Management: Keeps you dry and comfortable during moments of excitement or warmer weather.
• Breathability: The fabric allows air to circulate, enhancing ventilation.
• Soft Feel: Designed for comfort against the skin, perfect for extended wear.
• Durability: Built to withstand regular washing and wear, maintaining its look and feel season after season.

While not as performance-focused as the HEAT.RDY technology found in the player version, AEROREADY provides excellent everyday comfort and moisture control, making it ideal for the vast majority of fans.

Fan Version vs. Player Version: Choosing Your Kit

Understanding the difference between the Fan (Replica/Stadium) and Player (Authentic/Match/Vapor) versions is crucial for making the right choice. This jersey is the Fan Version, offering a distinct set of features tailored for supporter comfort and value.

Detailed Comparison:

• Fit:

  • **Fan Version:** Features a Standard Fit. This is a more relaxed, comfortable cut that offers greater freedom of movement and is suitable for a wider range of body types. It’s designed for casual wear and layering.
  • **Player Version:** Has a Slim/Athletic Fit. This cut is much tighter and more tailored to the athlete’s body, designed to minimise distractions during high-intensity performance. It fits like a second skin.

• Fabric Technology & Feel:

  • **Fan Version:** Uses AEROREADY. The fabric is slightly thicker and feels softer to the touch, prioritising comfort and durability for everyday use.
  • **Player Version:** Uses HEAT.RDY. This fabric is ultra-lightweight, highly breathable, and often has a textured or engineered pattern designed for maximum airflow and cooling in performance conditions. It feels more technical and less soft.

• Weight:

  • **Fan Version:** Slightly heavier due to the more robust fabric construction.
  • **Player Version:** Noticeably lighter, engineered for minimal weight to enhance athlete speed and agility.

• Breathability/Cooling:

  • **Fan Version:** Offers good breathability and moisture-wicking for comfort in moderate conditions.
  • **Player Version:** Provides superior, targeted ventilation and cooling, specifically designed for the demands of professional football.

• Badge & Logo Application:

  • **Fan Version:** Club crest and Adidas logo are typically embroidered. This gives a classic, durable finish.
  • **Player Version:** Club crest and Adidas logo are usually heat-applied (thermally pressed). This makes them lighter and reduces potential irritation points for players, contributing to the ‘second skin’ feel.

• Price:

  • **Fan Version:** More affordable, offering excellent value for money for the majority of supporters.
  • **Player Version:** Significantly more expensive due to the advanced materials and performance-focused construction.

• Recommended Use:

  • **Fan Version:** Ideal for watching matches, casual wear, showing support, collecting, and light recreational activity. Prioritises comfort, durability, and value.
  • **Player Version:** Best suited for competitive play, serious training, or for collectors who want the exact shirt worn on the pitch. Prioritises performance, minimal weight, and advanced cooling.

This Replica (Fan) Version is the perfect choice for the vast majority of fans, offering the authentic look and feel of the Ajax 2024/25 home kit with enhanced comfort and durability for everyday support.

Wear It Your Way

The Ajax 2024/25 Home Fan Jersey is versatile enough for any occasion where you want to represent your club:

• **Matchday Ready:** Pull it on before heading to the Johan Cruyff Arena or your local pub to cheer on the team.
• **Casual Style:** Pair it with jeans or shorts for a relaxed, sporty look that shows your allegiance.
• **Light Activity:** Comfortable enough for a kickabout in the park or hitting the gym.

Sustainability Commitment

In line with Adidas’s commitment to reducing plastic waste, this jersey is made with 100% Recycled Polyester. By using recycled materials, Adidas helps to divert plastic from landfills and oceans, contributing to a more sustainable future for the planet and the sport we love.

Sizing and Fit Guide

The Ajax 2024/25 Home Fan Jersey features a Standard Fit. This means it is cut to be comfortable and slightly looser than the player version, allowing for ease of movement and a relaxed feel.

• We recommend consulting the official Adidas size chart to find your perfect fit.
• If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed feel or plan to layer, stick to your usual size or consider sizing up.
• The standard fit is generally true to size for casual wear.

Caring for Your Jersey

To ensure your Ajax jersey stays in top condition season after season, follow these care instructions:

• Machine wash cold delicate cycle.
• Wash with like colors.
• Do not bleach.
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry.
