Ajax Amsterdam released a special limited edition collector's shirt honouring their legendary player and manager Johann Cruyff yesterday. 1414 of the shirts were produced in-house, without the involvement of technical sponsor Adidas, and all sold out within hours of release.
Ajax Cruyff Tribute Kit
This is the Ajax Cruyff tribute jersey.
Ajax Amsterdam's new limited edition collector's jersey is based on the shirts worn by Cruyff for Ajax in the 60s and 70s. It is white with a thick, red central band. The old Ajax crest is embroidered in the centre.
On the back, Cruyff's famous number 14 is sewn on. The shirt is not a remake of any one shirt in particular, but rather represents the player and his era. The shirt comes in a special presentation box with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jordi Cruyff, son of the late Johan.
Other items (above) were also released as part of the "De Cruijff" collection, all navy featuring the old style crest and Cruyff's name and number. These all remain in stock.
