Eredivisie Jerseys

The Eredivisie is the top professional football league in the Netherlands and one of the most historically celebrated leagues in European football. Founded in 1956, it has produced legendary clubs and players who have shaped the global game — from the Total Football revolutionaries of the 1970s to modern Champions League contenders. Eighteen clubs compete each season across the country, with Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord typically dominating the title race and representing the Netherlands in European competition.

Dutch clubs have long been admired for their distinctive kits and bold design choices. Ajax’s red-and-white vertical stripes are among the most recognizable in world football, while PSV’s classic red-and-white home strip and Feyenoord’s red, white and black colors carry decades of tradition. Below you’ll find dedicated pages for the top Eredivisie clubs, each bringing together home, away, third, kids, retro and custom jersey options so you can find the exact kit you want and check out on Amazon.

History and Format of the Eredivisie

Before the Eredivisie was formally established in 1956, Dutch football was organized on an amateur regional basis. The shift to a fully professional national league transformed the domestic game almost immediately. Within two decades, Dutch clubs were competing at — and winning — the very highest levels of European football. Ajax lifted the European Cup in three consecutive seasons during the early 1970s, a run that introduced the world to the “Total Football” philosophy championed by coach Rinus Michels and embodied by Johan Cruyff. Feyenoord had won the same trophy in 1970, and PSV Eindhoven added the European Cup to Dutch football’s collection in 1988, giving the Netherlands three different European champions in less than two decades.

The league runs on a straightforward double round-robin format. Each of the eighteen clubs plays the other seventeen twice — once at home and once away — producing 34 matches per team across the season. The champion is determined by points, with goal difference as the first tiebreaker. The bottom two clubs typically face automatic relegation to the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football, while clubs finishing in the lower-middle of the table can face promotion playoff matches against second-division sides. European places are awarded to the top finishers, with the champion entering the Champions League qualifying rounds and clubs in second, third and sometimes fourth place competing in the UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League.

The Eredivisie has a strong reputation as a development league — a place where young talent is given time on the pitch, refined in tactically sophisticated environments, and then often transferred to larger clubs in England, Germany and Spain. This pipeline has produced generations of internationally recognized players who learned their craft in Dutch stadiums, which is part of what makes Eredivisie club jerseys desirable worldwide: supporters want to own the shirt where so many great careers began.

The Biggest Clubs and Their Kits

Three clubs have historically defined the Eredivisie, though the league is genuinely competitive and other teams have challenged for honors over the years.

Ajax

Ajax, based in Amsterdam, is the most decorated club in Dutch football history and arguably one of the most famous clubs in the world. Their home jersey — bold red-and-white vertical stripes on a white base — has been instantly recognizable since the early twentieth century and has changed relatively little in concept, even as kit manufacturers and technical fabrics have evolved. The simplicity of the design is part of its appeal: it needs no additional graphic treatment to stand out. Ajax’s away and third kits have historically incorporated all-white, all-black or two-tone designs. The club has been sponsored by Adidas for many years, and the three-stripe branding sits neatly alongside the iconic badge. Ajax kits are among the most sought-after in European football by collectors and supporters outside the Netherlands.

PSV Eindhoven

PSV Eindhoven, the club of the industrial city of Eindhoven, play in red and white, though their design language differs from Ajax. PSV’s home shirt typically features broad red and white panels rather than stripes, giving the kit a bold, graphic quality. The club has historically been associated with electronics giant Philips, which founded the club in 1913, and that corporate heritage has long shaped the professional, clean aesthetic of PSV’s kits. PSV has been sponsored by Nike for a number of seasons. Their away kits often appear in white, black or grey, offering a strong contrast to the vibrant home strip. For fans of Dutch football outside the “big three” narrative, PSV jerseys represent a genuine alternative to Ajax merchandise.

Feyenoord

Feyenoord, Rotterdam’s most famous club, wear red, white and black — a combination that gives their kits a distinct, slightly harder-edged identity compared to the other major Dutch sides. The club’s traditional home shirt features red and white, with black used as a strong accent on collar, sleeves or panels. Feyenoord won the UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) in 2002 and returned to European glory in the UEFA Conference League in 2022, which generated a significant spike in global interest in their kits. The Rotterdam derby against Sparta Rotterdam and the national rivalry with Ajax — known as De Klassieker — give Feyenoord jerseys a passionate, partisan significance that resonates with supporters worldwide.

AZ Alkmaar

AZ Alkmaar, from the North Holland city of Alkmaar, have won the Eredivisie title and have been consistent European participants. Their red-and-white home kit is a popular choice for fans who want a Dutch league jersey with genuine pedigree that sits slightly outside the top three. AZ’s kits tend to be produced by Nike and follow the club’s clean, contemporary design approach.

Key Rivalries and What They Mean for Jerseys

The most famous fixture in Dutch football is De Klassieker — Ajax versus Feyenoord. When these two clubs meet, the clash of the Amsterdam red-and-white stripes against the Rotterdam red, white and black is one of the most visually distinctive derbies in Europe. The rivalry is intensely felt, and many supporters wear their club’s jersey as a direct statement of identity on matchday. The fixture draws large television audiences across the Netherlands and internationally, which means demand for both clubs’ jerseys typically rises around the time of these matches.

Ajax also faces De Topper matches against PSV, fixtures that effectively decide who tops the Eredivisie table in most seasons. These high-profile games between the Amsterdam and Eindhoven clubs carry enormous weight in terms of the title race, and supporting one or the other is as much a cultural choice as a sporting one for many Dutch fans. Collecting the jersey of whichever club wins De Topper or the league championship is a popular tradition among dedicated supporters.

Iconic Eras and Heritage Kits

Eredivisie clubs have produced some of the most celebrated kit designs in football history. The Ajax strips of the late 1960s and early 1970s — worn during three consecutive European Cup campaigns — are among the most copied and referenced designs in football culture. Retro reproductions of those kits, with their simple stripes and minimal detailing, appeal strongly to vintage kit collectors as well as supporters who want to celebrate that era.

PSV’s 1987–88 season kit, worn when the club won the European Cup under Guus Hiddink with a squad that included Romario and Ronald Koeman, is another heritage design that attracts attention. Feyenoord’s European trophy-winning kits are similarly prized. When retro versions of these shirts are available — whether official club re-releases or licensed reproductions — they sell quickly and are worth checking our retro soccer jerseys section for current availability.

Eredivisie Jersey Buying Guide

Eredivisie jerseys follow the same general kit structure as clubs around the world. The home jersey carries each club’s primary colors and badge, while the away jersey offers a contrasting design for road fixtures. Many clubs also release a third or special-edition kit during the season. Kids and youth sizes are widely available for younger supporters, and retro designs celebrate some of the most storied eras in Dutch football history.

When shopping on Amazon, read each listing carefully to confirm the season, whether the jersey is authentic or replica, and the sizes available. Replica kits are the most affordable and popular option for everyday fans, while authentic jerseys match the on-field specification with a slimmer, more technical fit. For guidance on choosing the right style and size, see our authentic vs replica jerseys guide and our sizing guide.

Choosing Between Home, Away and Third Kits

If you want a single Eredivisie jersey and are not committed to a specific design, the home kit is almost always the best starting point. It carries the club’s traditional colors, is the most widely available in all sizes, and typically retains its visual appeal across multiple seasons because Dutch clubs tend to keep their core design language consistent. Away kits are worth considering if you are drawn to a particular color scheme or want a slightly less common jersey. Third kits and special editions are usually produced in smaller quantities, so availability can be limited.

For buyers who want to represent a specific era rather than the current season, retro and heritage kits are worth investigating directly on each club’s page or on our retro jerseys section, as these are produced in limited runs and stock levels fluctuate.

Getting the Right Size

Eredivisie club jerseys are produced by a range of kit manufacturers — primarily Adidas and Nike for the major clubs — and sizing can vary between them. Adult sizes typically run from small through to XXL or 3XL depending on the manufacturer and the season. If you are buying as a gift, or if you are between sizes, our soccer jersey sizing guide walks through how to measure for a correct fit and what to expect from each major brand’s size chart. Always cross-reference with the specific size chart on the Amazon listing you are purchasing from, as different seasons and manufacturers produce slightly different dimensions.

Custom Eredivisie Jerseys
