Ajax has announced that the classic Ajax crest (1928-1990) will return as the club's official logo from the 2025-26 season. At the same time, the classic crest will return to the Ajax shirt after 34 years.
New Classic 25-26 Ajax Logo
The return of the classic Ajax crest is part of the club's 125th anniversary celebrations in 2025. In line with the wishes of the majority of our fans, Ajax has decided that 2025 is the perfect time to bring back the classic crest as the club's official logo from the 25-26 season.
The return of the classic Ajax crest also means that from the 25-26 season, the Ajax jersey will feature the classic 1928-1990 Ajax logo.
The last time the Ajax kit featured the classic 1928-1990 Ajax logo was the 21-22 home kit.
CEO Menno Geelen explains the return of the classic logo: "Ajax will celebrate its 125th anniversary on March 18. The celebrations will include the announcement of the return of the classic logo. We know that the majority of our fans have cherished this wish for years, and we felt that our 125th anniversary was the perfect moment to give back the classic logo to our fans and ourselves."
Ernst Boekhorst, Chairman of the Board of Directors, adds: "The 125th anniversary feels like a very fitting moment to give the logo back to the club, the fans, and ourselves. We are delighted to make such a contribution."
The return of the Ajax Classic Crest will be celebrated today, 17 November at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, where the Ajax Legends will take on the Real Madrid Legends.
