AJAX Bob Marley Shirt 2021/22

Ajax and Bob Marley’s connection comes from the club’s adoption of Marley’s song “Three Little Birds” as an anthem.

The story began in 2008, when Ajax played a friendly against Cardiff City. After the match, the stadium DJ played “Three Little Birds,” and Ajax fans instantly embraced it, singing along passionately. From then on, the song became a tradition, sung before matches at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

The Marley family has recognised this bond, with Bob’s son Ky-Mani Marley even performing it live with supporters. In 2021, Ajax released a special third kit inspired by Marley and the song, featuring the iconic three little birds on the back.
