ajax 10-11 shirt idea 2 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 0
Just a thought as I sit here watching the MLS game between Toronto and Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Union shirts would be a great template for next season's Ajax kit from Adidas; a slight change to the red stripe in the middle of the shirt so that it doesn't come all the way to collar at the top, but I think it would look very sharp in white and red. See if you can imagine it and I'll see if I could make up a fantasy version on photoshop. What do you all think?

You've got to remember just how traditional the Ajax kit is and how sacred it is to Ajax fans for a start they had a stipulation in their contract with adidas not to put the 3stripes on their home league kit until very recently. Another matter is that the red stripe on the Ajax shirt should is always the same width so being just like the Union's shirt would be out of the question. Lastly whenever the red stripe is broken from going over the shoulder their is unrest by Ajax fans and the kit is deemed bad just from that, so unless this template could accommodate for that I can't really see this becoming a reality.

I can see the home shirt being of the same template as the new Chelsea shirt and the away being more like the Greece template.

Please do post up a photoshop version though, would be interesting to see it,

All very good points you make, you are correct, it probably wouldn't work. I'm not a huge Ajax fan or know too much about them, but I know their kit is very traditional compared to the drastic changes that some teams make from one season to the next. It was just a thought that crossed my mind, but you're probably right. I'll play with Photoshop a bit and see what I can come up with though, just for fun.

Well, I played a bit, it's very rough, I could do better with more time, but you get the basic elements of the strip and the sleeve stripes with the red stripe across the chest. I know the sponsor logo looks goofy too, but best I could do with my time right now. If you like it, I'll play a bit more. Let me know what you think.

That's nice, but I don't think the Ajax fans would go for something so "outlandish"
