Since 2010, AFC Ajax has won four consecutive titles in the Dutch Eredivisie. Each year, the victory has earned the squad a slot in the UEFA Champions League, and each year they've been eliminated from that tournament after the group stage. The trend also includes three straight exits from the Europa League after the round of 32. With the 2014 2015 UEL, the Lancers are looking to finally break that trend, and you can support their campaign today with a new Ajax shirt from Soccer Box!

The Europa League
Whichever Ajax shirt you choose, just make sure you have it ready for the team's continued play in the 2014 2015 Europa League. For the fifth year running, the football squad has received a bye into the round of 32 for the UEFA event after being eliminated from the Champions League. This year, the Lancers will be shooting to do something they haven't done in years win the title.
AFC Ajax only has one UEL trophy, from all the way back in 1992. They've won the Champions tournament four times, but also not since the 1990s. Could 2014 2015 be the season that the Dutch football team finally collects another continental title?
It didn't look like it based on the Lancers' run in the 2014 2015 UCL. The wearers of the Ajax away shirt 2014 2015 only won one game in that tournament this year. Granted, they were drawn into an exceptionally tough group-with the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain. Still, the early elimination was a stinger for fans and players alike.
Legia Warsaw
Luckily, the Lancers have gotten something else to be happy about since that elimination their Europa League draw. After their bye into the round of 32, the Ajax soccer squad was drawn against Polish club Legia Warsaw for a two-leg battle.
As the winner of the 2013 2014 Ekstraklasa, Legia Warsaw is currently the top football club in all of Poland. In their first match against Ajax, though, Legia couldn't overcome the Dutch champions.
In the Lancers' first appearance in the 2014 2015 UEL, fans in the Ajax shirt were treated to a satisfying victory. Held on Thursday, February 19th, the fixture took place at the Ajax home ground of Amsterdam Arena. The team used the home field advantage in their favor, taking the lead at the 34-minute mark with a goal from Arkadiusz Milik, and never letting it go.
Warsaw took a good number of shots during the matches, eight of them on target. Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen held a clean sheet regardless, though, and his strong performance helped the Lancers to a 1-0 victory.
The home victory gives Ajax the edge over Legia Warsaw in the UEL round of 32. However, there's still the away leg to worry about. On Thursday, players from the club will don the Ajax away shirt 2014 2015, and will head off to Poland for the away leg of the round. A win or draw will progress them to the next stage of the soccer competition.
Considering the fact that AFC Ajax hasn't made it to the round of 16 for the Europa League since the 2010 2011 season, such an outcome would be hugely satisfying for fans. Last year, they lost to Red Bull Salzburg in the round of 32; the year before, it was Liverpool; and in 2012, it was Manchester United. A simple away win in Warsaw will break this unflattering trend.
Root for that away win on Thursday with a brand new Ajax shirt, available at Soccer Box! Whether you are looking for the blue 2014 2015 away shirt, the red and white home jersey, or some other piece of football merchandise, you can find it here.
