Dutch side Ajax has to alter their popular Adidas 2021-2022 ‘European’ / third kit to apply with UEFA Equipment Regulations, it has been revealed by Ajax news website Ajax Life.
The Adidas Ajax 21-22 third kit is inspired by Bob Marley. It features Three Little Birds on the back under the collar as a tribute to the famous song of the Jamaican singer.
UEFA defines its official Equipment Regulations (Chapter III – Team identification – Article 13 Types) which types of team identifications are allowed. Ajax’s “Three Little Birds” are not seen as a Team Identification by UEFA.
Ajax already wore the kit without the birds in the league”What is interesting is that Ajax was forced to already debut the Adidas 21-22 European kit in this weekend’s Eredivisie match against Zwolle to avoid a kit clash. Ajax wore the kit without the Three Little Birds but it seems possible that Eredivisie will allow the little birds in the future.
What do you think of UEFA now allowing Ajax to have the “Three Little Birds” on the back under the collar? Comment below.
