Ajax's 26-27 Away Kit Leak Points to First Trefoil Design

Ajax's away kit for the 26-27 season appears to feature the Adidas trefoil badge, making it the first Ajax kit to carry that mark, according to Footy Headlines, the kit-tracking publication that first reported the leak.

The trefoil — Adidas's retro-facing logo, distinct from the performance-oriented three-stripe wordmark the brand uses across most of its current football partnerships — would represent a notable stylistic shift for the Amsterdam club. Footy Headlines describes the design as a first for Ajax, suggesting the collaboration has moved deliberately toward a vintage aesthetic rather than a contemporary one.

Beyond the trefoil detail, the wire carries no further information about the kit's colourway, design elements, or the circumstances under which it was leaked. Footy Headlines has a consistent record of publishing accurate pre-release kit information, though the images and details it works from are not always officially sanctioned by the clubs or manufacturers involved.

Ajax have worn Adidas kits for a substantial portion of their history, and the club's away strips have at various points leaned into a cleaner, more archival sensibility than their home whites. A trefoil-badged away shirt would sit within that broader tradition, even as it marks something new in the specific terms of what has appeared on the chest.

No release date for the kit has been reported, and Ajax have made no public comment on the leak. Kit announcements for the 26-27 season are unlikely to arrive in earnest until closer to the turn of the year, though pre-release leaks of this kind often surface many months in advance of any official unveiling.
