An image believed to show Ajax's third kit for the 26-27 season has been published online, with Footy Headlines reporting what it describes as an official picture of the design ahead of any formal announcement from the club.
The Amsterdam side have not confirmed the leak, and no release date has been attached to the image as reported by Footy Headlines. Kit leaks of this kind typically precede official launches by several weeks, and manufacturers have become accustomed to early images circulating through kit-tracking channels before formal reveal campaigns can begin.
Ajax compete in the Eredivisie and have historically attracted significant commercial attention for their kits, particularly when departures from the club's traditional red-and-white vertical stripes are involved. Third kits, which by definition carry greater creative latitude than home or away designs, tend to generate the most discussion among supporters.
The wire signal provided to Touchline does not include a description of the kit's colourway, design details, or manufacturer specifications, so those particulars cannot be reported here. Readers seeking the image itself are directed to Footy Headlines' original publication.
Whether Ajax will move to confirm the design formally in the coming days remains to be seen. Clubs have taken varied approaches to pre-release leaks in recent seasons, with some accelerating their reveal schedules and others simply allowing anticipation to build unacknowledged.
