Why UEFA banned Ajax's Bob Marley tribute shirt

Ajax’s third shirt for the 2021/22 season was a homage to Bob Marley and his anthem that is sung before every game at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
The shirt features three little birds above the three Andreas crosses, just below the collar. UEFA have made them remove that part of the kit.
But why?
And why do Ajax have such a connection with Bob Marley?
Written by Seb Stafford-Bloor, illustrated by Henry Cooke.

    Irish club Bohemian FC actually had a kit playing tribute to bob Marley. He played his last open air gig at Dalymount park, the clubs stadium, and is immortalised on a mural outside the ground. The kit depicted a picture of bob Marley on the front. Later, it was pulled off the shelves because the photo was not liscenced or something.

    I was very curious to learn what the connection between bob marley and Ajax was. Was a little disappointed that he hadn’t been a fan of Ajax during his life but it is fascinating to learn he was a huge fan of Celtic. He may have been following their fortunes during the season when Celtic won the European cup and just about every competition they were in. Tbh I never knew Marley was into football and had actually played as a midfielder and had dreams of playing professionally. What an interesting parallel universe that would be if he’d made his name as a footballer with reggae being a hobby/side project of his.

The positiveness of the lyrics "every little thing is gonna be alright" stood by the fans and it gave us hope for the future. It feels amazing to sing this with 55.000 people.

We made a Bob Marley jersey several years ago given our extensive links with the man (him having played a famous gig in our stadium in the late 70s) and bohemians being the club with punk and reggae leanings. Yet we were sent a cease and desist letter and the estate were not at all interested in coming to an agreement but for a big international club I was it's "heart-warming"

    Coventry City would have been impacted by this had they played in a Uefa competition - they used a Two Tone inspired shirt in tribute to Ska bands from the city, such as the Specials. Their shirt had an image of the Ska Man character on the back, very similarly to the 3 little birds.

    Interesting, maybe it would have been allowed though because The Specials actually were from Coventry so there actually was a connection with the club.

    Guys Bob did say Pitch but that’s a Jamaican corruption of the word Perch. He means “three little birds perched by my doorstep” but he says “three little birds pitched by my doorstep” For you non English speakers the word perch is used for whenever a bird lands / sits on something. Hope that helps

    The link between Bob and Ajax football club runs a little deeper. The music that Bob Marley promoted along with marijuana, which Amsterdam promotes formed a link between Rastafarians, football lovers and those who love marijuana. Disconnection was there long before the football match in 2008, Although that is still a very powerful reference point.
