JAKARTA - Bali United collaborated with local artists to design a new team jersey with the nickname Serdadu Tridatu to look to the 2024/2025 Indonesian League 1 competition season.

"The new position has five colors with the philosophy of Bali," said Bali United CEO Yabes Tanuri at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Sunday, August 4, which was confiscated by Antara.

His party invited the artist Dewa Gede Raka Jana Nuraga from Tampaksiring in Gianyar Regency to create an ornament design in the new jersey which was introduced first to supporters' representatives and the media.

Meanwhile, artist Dewa Gede Raka Jana Nuraga explained that the five colors of the jersey have a contemporary design with a neck cut in the shape of a V and collar.

Then, the official uniform was also given a touch of ornaments with Balinese art characteristics, each of which had its own meaning.

"Bali cannot be separated from the arts in all aspects, for that I combine it with the five characters in the jersey," he added.

There is a red jersey that has a Barong Ket design that symbolizes positive energy.

Then the white color with the image of a hanoman symbolizes the character of a knight, a black jersey with the design of Naga Basuki which means protective.

Next is the blue jersey with the Karang Boma design which has a symbol of goodness, and finally the penalty colored jersey with Jatayu design in Ramayana's epic with a brave character.

He explained that the design process took up to three weeks.

"I hope this club will continue to exist in Bali and have many effects not only football but also artists like me," he said.

Meanwhile, Bali United Captain Ricky Fajrin hopes that the new uniform will increase the fighting spirit of the players in every match.

"Moreover, this is designed by Balinese men so that it adds to the impression of Balinese culture so that this adds to our fighting power," he said.

In line with the captain, foreign player Elias Dolah said he was proud of thejersi which was loaded with cultural content.

"With this jersey, which is typical of Balinese culture, we are so proud of its culture that we have a lot of motivation this season," said the tall Thai player.
