Size : XL ( 78x61 )
Condition : Excellent Condition
The Ajax 1999–2000 away jersey, worn by Danish football legend Michael Laudrup with the number 10, is a unique and elegant representation of the club’s turn-of-the-century identity. Designed by Umbro, the jersey features a deep navy blue base with red and white accents, a bold contrast to Ajax’s traditional red and white home colors. The vertical ABN AMRO sponsor logo remains on the left side of the shirt, continuing Ajax’s signature style of the late ’90s.
This season marked the brief yet memorable stint of Michael Laudrup at Ajax. Though nearing the end of his career, Laudrup brought world-class technique, intelligence, and creativity to the Ajax midfield. Wearing the iconic number 10, he served as a playmaker and mentor to a young generation of Ajax talents.
Team Achievements – 1999–2000 Season:
The season was one of transition and underperformance for Ajax:
• Eredivisie: Ajax finished in a disappointing 5th place, missing out on the league title and automatic qualification for the Champions League.
• KNVB Cup (Dutch Cup): Eliminated early, unable to mount a strong domestic cup challenge.
• European Competition: Ajax played in the UEFA Cup, but were knocked out in the Second Round, falling short of expectations on the continental stage.
Despite the lack of trophies, the 1999–2000 campaign is remembered for the presence of elite talents like Laudrup, and the club’s effort to rebuild after the golden era of the mid-1990s. The away jersey with Laudrup’s number 10 remains a collector’s favorite — representing class, legacy, and the rare intersection of Ajax tradition and Danish football royalty.
