The 2024/25 Ajax Away Design Story: A Tribute to Amsterdam

The 2024/25 Ajax Away Kit draws inspiration from the vibrant energy and unique character of Amsterdam, the club’s home city. While the home kit celebrates the club’s traditional colours, the away kit often provides a canvas for creative expression, connecting the team to the wider cultural landscape of the Dutch capital. For the 24/25 season, adidas has crafted a design that blends modern aesthetics with subtle nods to the city’s heritage.

Visual Elements & Craftsmanship:

• Colour Palette: The kit features a sophisticated dark base colour, often interpreted as a deep grey or black, providing a strong, contemporary look. This is beautifully contrasted with striking red and white accents, colours deeply embedded in both Ajax’s identity and the flag of Amsterdam. These accent colours are strategically placed on details like the collar, cuffs, or side panels, adding dynamic visual interest.
• Pattern & Texture: The fabric may incorporate a subtle graphic pattern or texture, adding depth and a premium feel to the kit. This could be a geometric design, a nod to architectural elements, or a more abstract representation of the city’s canals or street layout. These details are often more apparent up close, rewarding the keen eye of a dedicated fan.
• Club Crest: The iconic Ajax crest is proudly displayed on the chest. On the Replica version, the crest is typically embroidered. This gives it a classic, tactile feel and ensures durability, standing up to countless washes and wears as young fans live out their football dreams. The embroidery is precise, capturing the detail of the crest’s design.
• adidas Logo: The adidas logo, the mark of quality and performance, is also present on the chest, usually opposite the club crest. On the Replica kit, this logo is often also embroidered or a high-quality heat-pressed application designed for longevity.
• Sponsor Logos: The kit will feature the main shirt sponsor’s logo on the front and potentially other sponsor placements as per official club and league regulations. These logos are typically heat-pressed for a smooth finish.
• Detailing: Look for subtle details like unique collar construction, sleeve cuff designs, or special graphics on the back of the neck or inside the collar, which often carry specific thematic elements related to the kit’s inspiration.

Engineered for Comfort: The adidas AEROREADY Technology

While designed for fans, this kit incorporates performance technology to ensure young supporters stay comfortable, whether they’re active or watching the game. The core technology featured is adidas AEROREADY.

How AEROREADY Works:

• Moisture Wicking: AEROREADY fabric is engineered with specific fibres and weave structures that actively pull sweat away from the skin’s surface.
• Quick Drying: Once moisture is drawn to the outer layer of the fabric, it evaporates quickly, preventing the material from becoming heavy or clingy.
• Breathability: The fabric construction allows air to circulate, helping to regulate body temperature and keep the wearer feeling fresh.

For a young fan, this means they can wear their Ajax kit during a kickabout in the park, while running around with friends, or even just on a warm day, and remain relatively dry and comfortable. It’s a significant step up from standard cotton apparel, providing a functional benefit rooted in sportswear innovation.

Replica vs. Authentic: Understanding the Difference

It’s important to understand that this Kids Kit is a Replica version (also known as the Stadium or Fan version). This is the most popular choice for supporters and differs from the Authentic (Match or Player) version worn by the professional players on the pitch. Here’s a detailed comparison:

• Fit: The Replica kit features a Standard Fit. This is a more relaxed, comfortable cut designed for everyday wear and a wider range of body types. The Authentic kit has a Slim, Athletic Fit, tailored to the player’s physique for minimal distraction during high-intensity performance.
• Fabric Technology & Feel: The Replica uses AEROREADY, which is comfortable and effective at managing moisture for casual use. The Authentic uses adidas HEAT.RDY, a more advanced technology with a lighter, often more textured fabric designed for maximum breathability and cooling in performance conditions. The feel of the fabric is noticeably different, with HEAT.RDY often feeling lighter and more structured.
• Weight: Authentic kits are generally lighter than Replica kits due to the advanced fabric technology and construction designed to minimize weight for peak athletic performance.
• Breathability & Ventilation: While AEROREADY offers good breathability, HEAT.RDY in Authentic kits provides superior airflow, often incorporating engineered mesh zones in high-heat areas like the back and underarms.
• Badges & Logos: On the Replica, the club crest and adidas logo are typically embroidered, offering a traditional look and feel. On the Authentic kit, these elements are usually heat-pressed using lightweight, flexible materials to reduce weight and prevent irritation against the skin during movement.
• Construction: Authentic kits may feature bonded seams or different stitching patterns designed for durability and reduced friction during athletic activity, whereas Replica kits use standard stitching suitable for everyday wear.
• Price: Replica kits are significantly more affordable than Authentic kits, making them accessible for the majority of fans.
• Recommended Use: The Replica kit is perfect for watching matches, casual wear, showing support, and light activity. The Authentic kit is designed for competitive play and those who desire the exact garment worn by the pros.

This Kids Kit is the Replica version, offering the official look and comfortable feel ideal for young supporters.

Wear It Your Way: Scenes of Support

This Ajax Away Kids Kit isn’t just clothing; it’s a symbol of belonging. Imagine your child:

• Cheering Loud: Wearing the full kit while watching Ajax matches, feeling like part of the team, celebrating every goal with passion.
• On the Pitch: Kicking a ball around with friends, emulating their favourite Ajax stars, feeling confident and comfortable thanks to the AEROREADY technology.
• Everyday Pride: Wearing the jersey or shorts casually to school, a friend’s house, or out and about, proudly displaying their love for Ajax.
• Collecting Memories: The kit becomes a cherished item, a reminder of their youth and their early connection to the club.

Focus on the Replica Kids Kit

Choosing the Replica Kids Kit offers numerous benefits specifically tailored for young fans:

• Comfort First: The Standard Fit is designed for comfort, allowing freedom of movement whether they are playing or relaxing. It’s less restrictive than the slim player version.
• Durability: Built to withstand the rigours of active kids and frequent washing, maintaining its look and feel season after season.
• Affordability: Provides the authentic look and feel of the official kit at a price point accessible for families.
• Perfect for Fans: It’s made for supporters, prioritizing wearability and comfort over the marginal performance gains required by elite athletes.
• Complete Look: As a kit including both jersey and shorts, it offers the full match-day aesthetic in one purchase.

Sustainability Commitment: Made with Recycled Materials

In line with adidas’s commitment to reducing plastic waste, this kit is made with 100% Recycled Polyester. This material is sourced from recycled plastic bottles and other plastic waste, diverting it from landfills and oceans. By choosing this kit, you’re not only supporting Ajax but also contributing to a more sustainable future for the planet. It’s a small step that makes a difference, teaching young fans about the importance of environmental responsibility.

Sizing and Fit Guidance

This Kids Kit comes in a Standard Fit, which is designed to be comfortable and offer a relaxed feel. It is not as tight or form-fitting as the player-issue versions. To ensure you select the correct size for your child, we highly recommend consulting the official size chart provided. Consider the following when choosing a size:

• Age and Height: Size charts are typically based on age and height ranges for kids.
• Personal Preference: Does your child prefer a slightly looser or more standard fit? The Standard Fit accommodates both comfortably.
• Growth: If your child is between sizes or growing quickly, sizing up might offer more longevity.
• Check the Chart: Always cross-reference your child’s measurements with the specific size chart for this product, as sizing can vary slightly between brands and even different kits.

The Standard Fit ensures your child can wear the kit comfortably for various activities, from playing football to simply wearing it as casual clothing.

Caring for Your Kit: Maintenance Tips

To keep your official 2024/25 Ajax Away Kids Kit looking its best and to ensure its longevity, follow these simple care instructions:

• Washing: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colours. Using cold water helps preserve the colours and the integrity of the fabric and logos.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the pores of the performance fabric and reduce its wicking capabilities.
• Bleach: Do NOT bleach. Bleach will damage the fabric and graphics.
• Drying: Hang to dry. Do NOT tumble dry. High heat from tumble dryers can damage the heat-pressed logos and potentially shrink or damage the fabric.
• Ironing: Do NOT iron. If ironing is absolutely necessary, do so on a very low heat setting and avoid ironing directly over any logos, badges, or prints.
• Dry Cleaning: Do NOT dry clean.

Following these steps will help maintain the quality, colour, and details of the kit, allowing your young fan to proudly wear their Ajax colours for the entire season and beyond.
