Know the Pasukan Kebangsaan

For those outside the country or inside the country but in a hole, this is how the Pasukan Kebangsaan's new kit looks like. Malaysia have always been kitted out in yellow and black as the Home colours, and blue and white as the away colours.

There was a buzz of excitement when Nike, the sport giants that kit out teams such as Manchester United, Juventus and Barcelona and national teams such as Brazil and Holland decided to dress up the Pasukan Kebangsaan in a four-year deal. Nike will provide the main attire for all national teams and also contribute to youth development programs. The contract has an option for renewal for another five years. The shirt, which was designed similar to the jersey worn by the Harimau Malaysia of the 1980's was first worn by the senior side in the last ASEAN Football Federation Championship. Previously the Pasukan Kebangsaan was sponsored by Adidas.

Nike has gone aggressive in the region by also sponsoring the Timnas of Indonesia and the Singaporean National Team.

Not surprisingly, the players version was retailed at RM259, the same price as other Nike jerseys. It turned many fans off but that still didn't dampen the sale of the first batch of the jerseys which are now sold out. Nike then released a fans' version at RM 129 and has also recently launched a third version for fans at RM69. Don't worry, you can also find numerous pirated versions (and even for kids) a most places which starts from RM20.
