For a long time, football and baseball were intertwined at Ajax

For more than half a century, two sports were intertwined at Ajax: football and baseball. From the 1920s onwards, the American import of baseball offered footballers an ideal alternative during the summer break. Until 1972, Ajax was also a baseball club, and a successful one for many years.

126 years AFC Ajax: rich past as a baseball club celebrated with special baseball jersey

On the club's 126th anniversary, Ajax and adidas present a special baseball jersey and accompanying mini collection. The collection is a tribute to the rich baseball history, where Ajax became a four-time national champion. The baseball shirt is inspired by one of the shirts the club wore while playing baseball, with "Ajax" prominently displayed on the chest in a style characteristic of American sports.

Behind the scenes | Photoshoot for the Ajax baseball collection

Ajax also cherishes its illustrious past in baseball. What few fans know is that the Amsterdam club has also been crowned national champions four times in baseball. More than enough reason for Ajax and adidas to introduce a special baseball jersey and accompanying mini-collection on the club's 126th anniversary. We took a look behind the scenes at the photoshoot and spoke to several enthusiastic Ajacieden.
