Today Ajax Amsterdam faced off against Feyenoord in the Eredivisie (1-1), playing away at Rotterdam. Due to Feyenoord's similar color scheme to Ajax, the Amsterdam club had to improvise a little bit with their kit choice.
Ajax Combine Away Kit and Shorts With Home Socks
Here is the outfit Ajax wore against Feyenoord today.
Feyenoord of course wore their traditional red and white half-half kit with black shorts and socks, meaning Ajax had to wear their navy away shirts. These were combined with the fitting red away shorts.
However, the navy away socks must have been deemed too similar to the black Feyenoord socks, so Ajax were forced to wear the white home ones.
Design-wise, these actually work well with the away outfit, since a small amount of gold is applied around the red band.
Another possibility could have been to wear one-off red socks, in the same style as the other away garments.
