Johor Darul Ta’zim FC (JDT) have launched the latest Nike kits for the upcoming 2022 season in an unveiling ceremony enlivened by the presence of fans at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.

The new jerseys were revealed through a video lasting 4 minutes 30 seconds featuring several JDT players. The video had a plot of surrounding the bullying culture among children and teenagers, which has become more prevalent nowadays. JDT strongly oppose all aspects of bullying.
“The future of football is full of local talent who bring incredible skills and passion to the game.” said Nike.
“The future of football is also inclusive, comprising of players and fans of all ages and backgrounds. Nike is committed to invest in the future of football and redefine sport for a new generation.
