MyBeloved Malaysia

Wow, its been really a long time since my last post. Guess what, its been almost half a year since I joined the LYN forum, and boy oh boy it has really been a revelation and eye opener. I have since reignited my passion for collecting jerseys and will try as best as I can to update this blog more often, sharing stories and hauls and I will also link as many information as I can obtain from the LowYat Net taikors.

For this entry, just wanna share a few of my Malaysia kits. Yes I do support my country (contrary to what others may think). I am by them through good and bad times. Of course I would not hesitate to critisize them if they perform badly, but that is also done with the genuine intention that they learn from their mistake. I wont say I am a passionate fan, but at least I care for my country.

I cant recall exactly when I bought my first Malaysia kit. But it must have been a very long time ago. Malaysia had been sponsored by Adidas for like eternity before finally switching to Nike last year when Nike sponsored the four host nations of the 2007 Asian Cup (the others being Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam). The few kits I have are:-

Malaysia Home - Early 2000s


Malaysia Away - early 2000s


Malaysia Home - 2004?


Malaysia Away - 2006



Malaysia Supporters kit 2007 to commemorate 50 years of Merdeka (Independance)


Am looking to enchance my kits. Oh, I have a cap too :) Will post pics of it later.

I prefer the Adidas kits as I think their simple design captures the colours of the Malaysian team very nicely indeed. The cutting is generous as well, suitable for big sized guys like me. I bought the Nike XL, and cant really fit into it. It has been loaned out to my brother since.

Since I am on the topic of the Malaysian team, I should also share few of my local team jerseys. These are hard to get. I think Perak and Selangor kits are more accessible as Joma has opened a boutique at Pertama Complex (and Ipoh I heard) and Selangor kits ever since they were sponsored by Adidas has been sold at Adidas outlets nationwide. But these kits are normally sold without the sponsor tags (the Old DUNHILL or the latest TM tags) and patches, and it wasnt until very recently that I found out that Q-Line has them, and at really cheap prices. So thats a good spot to get local kits if you are interested.

Anyway, the pics:-


Negeri Sembilan


Pahang

Stay tuned - I will definitely be adding to my collection of local kits!
