Look closely at the jasmine pattern running down Indonesia's new third jersey and you'll notice something odd: none of the flowers are open. Kelme deliberately used jasmine buds, not full blooms, to represent an Indonesian football journey still in progress rather than one that's already peaked. 

That's the kind of detail that separates a jersey drop from a real design story, and it's exactly what Kelme, the Spanish sportswear brand and official apparel partner of the Indonesian Football Association since late January 2026, delivered when it officially unveiled the Garuda's third kit on Thursday afternoon, September 17, 2026.

What Does the New Timnas Indonesia Jersey Look Like?

Forget the deep navy of the home kit. This one comes in sea blue, with a bright light-blue tone and a vertical jasmine bud motif running down the front. The color choice isn't random  blue represents the ocean and stands as a symbol of unity, tying into Indonesia's identity as the world's largest archipelago nation.

The collar is a clean, classic white  a small detail, but it's the kind of retro touch that makes a modern performance shirt feel like it belongs on a vintage rack too. Unlike the home and away kits, this third jersey uses light blue as its dominant color paired with that vertical jasmine bud pattern. 

On the material side, this isn't just a pretty shirt. Kelme built it with a dynamic jacquard fabric engineered to stay light, breathable, and quick-drying  a direct answer to Indonesia's heat and humidity. The Player Issue version specifically adds K-TechFit construction, DrySport+ fabric technology, and a laser-etched silicon authentication label so players stay comfortable through 90 minutes of movement. 

Why Did Kelme Choose the Sea and Jasmine as the Theme?

This wasn't a last-minute mood board. Kelme Indonesia CEO Kevin Wijaya first confirmed a third jersey design existed  already finalized  back in an exclusive interview in late April 2026, though he wouldn't reveal the launch date. His only hint: the brand wanted the release timed to a "milestone" moment worth remembering. That milestone turned out to be Indonesia's first FIFA ASEAN Cup.

"We hope FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 can be the first stage for Indonesia's national team players to wear this newest third jersey. With this new variant, we hope the players feel more confident and comfortable, while still supporting their performance to the fullest."  Violet Wu, International Sales Director, Kelme 

The jasmine itself  Indonesia's "puspa bangsa," or national flower  was chosen to represent purity, sincerity, and national character, according to Kelme. Pair that with the sea motif, and the jersey is quietly telling two stories at once: where Indonesia comes from, and where its football is still headed. 

How Much Does the New Timnas Indonesia Third Jersey Cost?

Kelme released the kit in two versions: Player Issue and Replica Issue. The Player Issue short-sleeve version retails for Rp1,449,000 and comes with an exclusive box, while the Replica Issue is priced at Rp749,000 without the box.

That's a roughly 93% markup for the Player Issue over the Replica  a gap wide enough that most fans buying for match-day wear will likely land on the cheaper option, while collectors and completionists chase the boxed version. 

When Will We Actually See This Jersey on the Pitch?

The jersey is set for its competitive debut at FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026, the tournament's inaugural edition, running from September 24 to October 5, 2026. Sources differ slightly on the exact opening date  some report September 24, others September 25  but the window is locked in for late September into early October, and Indonesia is one of the host nations.

For a country whose men's national team has spent years chasing consistency on the regional stage, a home tournament and a fresh kit landing in the same month isn't a coincidence. It's a statement.
