Leaked: Ajax 26-27 Away Kit — Adidas Trefoil Era Begins

TL;DR

• The Ajax 26-27 away shirt is reportedly a black base with hazy orange accents — a colourway the Amsterdam club has never run on a primary away kit before.
• It will be the first Ajax shirt produced under the new Adidas Originals-style branding, carrying the Trefoil logo rather than the standard three-stripe performance mark.
• A matching anthem jacket has also been pictured, suggesting Adidas is treating the away set as a full lifestyle drop rather than a one-piece release.

The Leak

Early visual references for the Ajax 26-27 away kit surfaced this week after kit-watcher @KamilBerberler shared design notes on social media, which were then refined into a clearer concept render through the FIFA Kit Creator pipeline by Footy Headlines. The render is not an official Adidas product photograph, but the colourway and branding details line up with information the same outlets have used reliably for previous Ajax launches.

The headline detail is the branding. Ajax’s senior shirts have, for years, carried the standard Adidas performance logo. The 26-27 away top, according to the leak, will instead feature the Trefoil — the badge most football fans associate with Adidas Originals, retro reissues and lifestyle pieces. If accurate, it makes this the first time the Trefoil has appeared on an Ajax matchday shirt.

Design Breakdown

Colourway. The base is a deep, flat black. The accents are described as a hazy or muted orange rather than the brighter shade that dominates the home kit. Black has appeared in Ajax third and goalkeeper shirts in the past, but a black-and-orange away combination on the senior team is genuinely new ground.

Crest and branding. The traditional Ajax crest sits centrally, balanced on the opposite chest by the Trefoil. Sponsor details have not been confirmed in the leak.

Collar and cuffs. The render points to a minimal, ribbed crew neck and clean cuffs, leaning into the streetwear-adjacent feel the Trefoil branding implies. There are no obvious graphic patterns on the body of the shirt.

Anthem jacket. A matching pre-match jacket has been pictured in the same black-and-orange palette, also carrying the Trefoil. That suggests Adidas is positioning the away launch as a coordinated set rather than a single garment.

How It Compares

Recent Ajax away shirts have largely played in the white-and-pastel or all-blue territory, with the brand keeping the bolder graphic work for third kits. Pivoting to black with orange highlights is a much sharper visual statement, and it gives the away shirt a clear identity separate from the iconic red-and-white home jersey rather than feeling like a tonal variation of it.

The bigger shift, though, is the switch to the Trefoil. Adidas has already used the Originals badge on retro-flavoured releases for other clubs, but rolling it out on a current-season away shirt for a Champions League regular is a notable change of tone for the Ajax wardrobe.

When Can You Buy It?

No firm release date has been attached to the leak. Based on Adidas’s usual launch calendar for Eredivisie clubs, an official reveal in mid-2026 ahead of the 26-27 pre-season is the most realistic window.

FAQ

Is this the real Ajax 26-27 away kit?
It is a concept render based on leaked design information, not an official Adidas product image. The colourway and Trefoil branding are the verified parts of the leak; the exact graphic and trim details may still change before launch.

When does the Ajax 26-27 away kit release?
Adidas has not confirmed a date. Ajax away shirts typically launch in the summer window before the new Eredivisie season, so a mid-to-late 2026 reveal is the expected pattern.
