JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team officially has a new jersey ahead of appearing against Vietnam in the 2026 Asian Zone World Cup Qualifiers. The jersey launch was carried out on Monday, March 18, 2024, in the South Jakarta area.

There were three new jerseys of the Garuda Squad that were introduced. The new costume adapted costumes in 1981.

The first costume launched was the home jersey which continued to carry red, white, and black colors as an option. On the occasion of the launch, Asnawi Mangkualam and his colleagues also had the opportunity to sway like a model showing the latest costumes.

This red jersey with a round collar and white accent line will be the home jersey or the team's main uniform like a tradition.

While the away costume, Shin Tae-yong's team will wear a white costume with a red collar and white accent line on the neck and arms.

In addition to the main jersey, this launch also introduces off-field clothes, such as training clothes that are present in various colors, jackets, and vests that were previously displayed on social media.

Before showing off the jersey, Erspo explained the meaning of the Indonesian national team jersey pattern which includes the sound of supporters, footsteps, and applause.

In addition, there is also an explanation of the emblem or Garuda symbol equipped with a shield and a circle.

Meanwhile, the design of the character of the player's name and back number will carry a distinctive feature that adapts Garuda bird cumuli.

Previously, a cooperation agreement between Erspo and the Indonesian national team was reached on January 22, 2024. Thus, Erspo will supply the needs of the Indonesian national team's clothing for the next two years.

"What is interesting is that the process is also very transparent. What we see is indeed how the tender process is almost followed by 20 brands," said Erick Thohir, Chairman of PSSI.

"This is the first time because we are encouraging PSSI not only to increase the PSSI value and sponsorship, but also transparency. The value is Rp. 16.5 billion, of which there is cash of Rp. 5 billion. Most recently, there is a term royalties. This has never been so far," said Erick.
