Had Been Criticized, The Launch Of The New Jersey Of The Indonesian National Team Also Reaped Praise

JAKARTA - The latest jersey for the Indonesian national team to attract new sponsors, Erspo, was officially launched on Monday, March 18, 2024.

Having drawn criticism before its release, a positive tone was also heard after the Garuda Squad's official appearance was launched to the public.

Before it was officially launched, the jersey's latest design was leaked and drew criticism. This is because the design is considered too simple.

However, after being officially displayed and showing the whole design, Shin Tae-yong's new team uniform received praise.

Especially after an explanation of the jersey philosophy that carries a similar concept from 1981 when defeating Japan is outlined.

The presenter and observer of national football, Tio Nugroho, positively commented on Erspo's new jersey for the Indonesian national team.

"Symple, simple, and elegant. Congrats, Erspo," Tio wrote on Instagram on Monday, March 18, 2024.

Netizens also responded positively to the millennial jersey. Erspo, who is now the official appearance of the Indonesian national team, is a local product made by the nation's children.

"It's cool, classy if you look at the reals directly, the knit gradation material is highlighted," commented the account @alieenliem on Instagram @erspo.

Then, on social media X, the discussion about the Indonesian national team jersey has even become a trending topic that dominates the timeline.

The Keywords for the National Team, Made in Millennials, the Best Garuda Jersey, and the hashtag #JerseyTimnasGaruda are the main topics that mostly contain appreciation from netizens, especially blue ticked accounts.

"Because jerseys are not just design, there are many things related to cloth technology, the details of the design are also certain. In waiting for the technology in the fabric, what will it look like so that the simple jersey looks luxurious," wrote the account @Far_Rida on X.

Many also appreciate that the Indonesian national team jersey is a company founded by millennials and Gen Z.

"It's really cool, this jersey made by millennials, I didn't expect it," wrote the account @KecoaTongseng.

One of the social media activists, @Arti_Sebuah Rasa, also praised Erspo's Indonesian national team costume.

"This is really cool, the look is really special. So you know that this is the Indonesian national team. Anyway, #BanggaKostumTimnas right now. The Indonesian national team's jersey is the best," he wrote.
