New Jersey Polemic Of The Indonesian National Team, PSSI: Don't Extend It, Not Superman's Clothes

JAKARTA - PSSI has finally opened its voice regarding the polemic of the new jersey of the Indonesian national team which is widely discussed by football lovers. Through the PSSI Executive Committee, Arya Sinulingga, the federation requested that this situation not be extended.

Recently, there has been a commotion criticizing Erspo's latest design for the Indonesian national team jersey. The model is considered too simple to make material quality a topic of conversation.

Responding to this, Arya Sinulingga said that jerseys are indeed an important aspect of the national team of a country, but not a determinant of performance in the field. Regarding the polemic that emerged, he taught this.

"For us jerseys are important. However, it doesn't become crucial either. It's okay (there is a polemic), it's normal to have dynamics like this because there are supporters and some parties don't agree (the design)," said Arya Sinulingga at the GBK Arena, Senayan, on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, evening WIB.

Furthermore, Arya requested that the polemic regarding the Indonesian national team jersey issued by Erspo not be extended. You see, according to Arya, in the end the jersey was not Superman's shirt which suddenly made the Indonesian national team play well. Regarding performance back to the players' efforts.

"So, the polemic, yes, doesn't need to be extended. That's a jersey, not a Superman shirt, yes. Wearing that shirt, suddenly the Indonesian national team will be good, right? That's just the dynamics," said Arya.

From the polemic that arose, Arya actually stated that Erspo actually got interesting input from fans about the Indonesian national team jersey.

The proposal is in the form of a jersey design of the Indonesian national team which may later be made by including the design of clubs in each region.

"Erspo presentations to the club, same as supporters as well. There are interesting ideas from club friends, namely how the Indonesian national team jersey for supporters has a love club aspect."

"For example, there is an Indonesian national team jersey that smells of Viking, The Jak, or Bonek, and others. So, each of them has the pride of the club," said Arya.
