JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, complained about the new Indonesian national team training jersey. This was stated when he led the inaugural training camp (TC) of the Garuda Squad at the Madya Stadium on Monday, March 18, 2024.

The coach realized that the materials used did not absorb sweat when used by the players.

That night, players wore black combination red training jerseys and assistant coaches wore black combinations of white.

The jersey, which is produced by Erspo, was only officially released in the afternoon before training.

The training moment is also the right time to try out the shortcomings and advantages of the new jersey. After realizing the shortcomings, Shin was seen protesting to Erspo accompanied by the Indonesian national team manager, Sumardji.

After training, Sumardji did not deny that Shin Tae-yong had indeed protested. Sumardji said, the South Korean coach said that the new jersey could not absorb sweat and make it difficult for players.

"So, coach Shin (Tae-yong) protested. This means that there is a little uncomfortable about the training jersey. So, Erspo's side immediately responded," said Sumardji.

"Tomorrow, the jersey will be replaced immediately according to what is desired. Indeed, it seemed that it could not absorb sweat, so coach Shin wanted this to be replaced," he said.

Sumardji then said that the criticism was positively welcomed by Erspo, who would immediately replace him with a new, better jersey.

"However, it has been responded well. Tomorrow it will be replaced immediately. Yes, it has. Tomorrow it will be replaced," said Sumardji.

"Anyway, I can't absorb sweat. The day after tomorrow (replaced). Today it was just informed. Today it wants to be sewn and printed. If possible, yes, tomorrow. If not, the day after tomorrow," said Sumardji.

Sumardji also ensured that the jersey that was deemed inappropriate was the training jersey. Meanwhile, the Indonesian national team jersey for the official match is considered to have no problems.

"Yes, it's also called goods, yes. New goods, once used it is uncomfortable and those who use it will want to be comfortable," said Sumardji.
