There is a problem with the Ajax jersey A protest obviously started by fans who do not agree with certain stylistic choices

If there was one team last season that was able to surprise everyone with its stylistic choices, it was certainly Ajax. Last year in fact the Dutch, with their jerseys, the third dedicated to Bob Marley above all, were able to break all sales records. This year, the Dutch selection as usual dressed by adidas since 2000, only the first one was still presented, which despite having the same traditional and historical design, attracted a lot of criticism from the fans. And it is precisely this year's main novelty that the fans can't stomach, the use of the colour gold on the edges of the collar, on the hem of the sleeves and above all on the names and numbers printed on the back. A choice not shared by the fans, who in recent days have taken to the team's social channels, comparing the new font and numbers with those of McDonalds.

Not a new problem in the world of football, these days Napoli fans, like every year, are waging their usual battle against the jersey sponsor Lete. The Neapolitan fans in fact claim that the red of the sponsor spoils the aesthetics of the jersey, and for years they have been asking the club for it to be written in white, just like the other sponsor just below it. It may seem like a detail, but in fact, it is often the latter that makes the difference and in both cases the two clubs would do well to satisfy the fans' demands, giving the jerseys a more classic and clean look.
