Ajax Forced to Use Old Kit in Eredivisie Clash
Ajax had to use last season's away kit in the Eredivisie match against Heracles as the KNVB decided that Ajax's 16-17 home and away kits would be too similar to Heracles' black and white shirt.

Luckily? for Ajax, the club was not forced to release a new shirt as the away kit from last season was anything but too similar to Heracles' home strip. Boasting a flash green design, Ajax's 15-16 away kit is much less classier than the navy away shirt the club released one year later.
