Ajax Home Shirt 1996/97 (M) is a classic home design from Louis van Gaal’s final season with the club, produced by Umbro as Ajax competed in the Eredivisie and reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. This Ajax shirt comes from the first campaign played at the newly opened Amsterdam ArenA, capturing an important mid‑1990s period for the Dutch club following their European success earlier in the decade.
The design features Ajax’s traditional white base with a bold red central panel, complemented by an ABN AMRO sponsor across the front and Umbro branding on the chest opposite the club crest. A polo collar with striped trim and matching sleeve detailing adds a classic 1990s look, while subtle tonal graphics appear within the central panel. Details like these make the Umbro Ajax jersey a memorable example of the Ajax 1996/97 kit from the Eredivisie era.
