While our brave Tigers are playing their hearts out at the Asian Games in China, you can show your support by sporting the new Malaysian national football team jersey!

Nike unveiled the new kit last week, just a day before the team left for the Games, and it has all the usual high-tech features we’ve come to expect from Nike.

But more important than all those cool features is the fact that it’s OUR jersey. It might not look as cool as the Japan kit, or have the iconic yellow of the Brazilian shirt, but it has our Malaysian flag on it.

There are three words embroidered on the reverse side of this flag. If you know what they are, you stand a chance of winning one of the jerseys!

And instead of just telling you to go get one, we’ve decided to give away THREE of the jerseys right here, to the people who can answer this question:

1. What three words are written on the reverse side of the Malaysian flag on the new Malaysian national football team jersey?

… and best complete this slogan:

2. “I am proud of the Malaysian national football team because…” in less than 30 words.

Leave your answers as comments below, and don’t forget to cheer for Malaysia as they take on Japan this evening. They’re showing the match on Astro, BTW.

Go Tigers!

The Malaysian national football team sporting the new jersey. They're giving their best over at the Asian Games right now, so let's show 'em some support!

* The new Nike Malaysian national football jersey is available at all Nike retail outlets and Al-Ikhsan stores, selling at RM199.

Thanks for the great entries everyone! Our Tigers will be playing mighty Iran in the Asian Games tonight after qualifying for the second round – the first time we’ve done that since 1978!

Our contest here will be ending at noon, Nov 16, so you can watch the Iran game and get some inspiration to write even better slogans! 😉

K. Rajagobal’s men have only like 13 outfield players left due to injuries and (somewhat unjust) suspensions, but they’ll definitely fight all the way to the end, and I’m sure that’ll be good enough to give Iran a run for their money.
