Within minutes of kick-off, the match between Heracles Almelo and Ajax triggered frustration among viewers. Social media quickly filled with complaints that the clubs\u2019 chosen kits\u2014Heracles\u2019 predominantly black-and-white home strip and Ajax\u2019s cream third jersey\u2014were barely distinguishable on television.<\/p>\n
Supporters and neutral viewers agree: the colour choice is confusing. Heracles\u2019 predominantly black-and-white home shirt and Ajax\u2019s cream third kit have been labelled an unfortunate combination.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to the KNVB, Ajax\u2019s blue away shirt didn\u2019t contrast well enough with Heracles\u2019 black-and-white kit,\u201d explains supporters\u2019 club Ajax Life on X, adding sarcastically: \u201cFortunately, the colour of the third shirt is easy to distinguish!\u201d<\/p>\n
On X, viewers vent their frustration en masse. Maris writes: \u201cThey could have at least put on different shirts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another user asks, \u201cWho came up with this? White and white.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stefanovic agrees, noting: \u201cThose shirts at #HerAja look far too similar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phyllis sums it up cynically: \u201cHandy, white against cream \ud83d\ude44.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others find humour in the mix-up: Mika024 quips, \u201cGreat choice of kit,\u201d and Tim adds, \u201cA colour-blind person sees the same as us when it comes to the #heraja shirts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, Mouzzi sums up the issue succinctly: \u201cGreat colour combination, you really have to look closely to tell who\u2019s who.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Within minutes of kick-off, the match between Heracles Almelo and Ajax triggered frustration among viewers.
