im sure you can get one from amsterdam, although you'll probably need a website really wont you. ebay perhaps?

You could email their website mate, see if someone can point ya in the right direction?
Ajax uses an armband that has two red stripes surrounding a black stripe on which 3 white Xs are superimposed. Ajax is based in Amsterdam, which might some people (including me, I’ll admit it) some interesting initial thoughts about the meaning of the design. The actual significance of the design comes from far before Amsterdam gained a reputation as a city of sin. The Amsterdam city council informs of of the true meaning of the crest:
Three crosses form the core of Amsterdam’s city crest. These are St. Andrew’s crosses, named after the apostle St. Andrew who is said to have been martyred on such a cross. The shield on which the crosses stand consists of three vertical stripes in the colours red - black - red. The crosses are in the black stripe.
In any case, Ajax captains are quite distinct wearing this armband, as modeled here by Jaap Stam.
I’d also like to get in a plug for the folks at AjaxUSA, with whom I traveled to Amsterdam in 2005. While in Holland, I purchased several Ajax armbands and gave on to our youngest group member, Sean, on his birthday (6, if I recall correctly). He wore it around everywhere for the rest of the trip.
Like Ajax, Barcelona is a club intimately tied to its homeland. The club prides itself as being “more than a club” and has been a symbol of Catalonian identity since its inception (I recommend Barca: A People’s Passion by Jimmy Burns for those interested in further reading on Barcelona). This status is reinforced by the armband worn by the Barcelona captain, which is, in fact, the flag of Catalonia. Modeled here by Carlos Puyol (if that can be said of someone as ugly as the Barca centerback).
