Turning Manchester United into Indonesia United

buy a BOLBAL shirt to support #indonesiaunite

Idea

What happened?

Manchester United canceled their Asia tour agenda to Jakarta following the bomb incident that happened at one of the hotel where the elite team were due to stay in. The match scheduled for July 20th has been highly anticipated by Indonesian MU fans since months before and has inspired t-shirt street vendors to make a massive production of MU T-shirts and Jersey. Affected by the blasts and the team cancelation, the vendors lost a big amount of money and was unable to gain prospective consumers who was suppose to buy their T-shirt on the day of the match.

What is BOLBAL?

How we turn it upside down

How we turn it upside down

BOLBAL is a reproduction of a non-licensed MU T-shirt to help street vendors gain back their money. We buy the t-shirts from them and print #indonesiaunite logo on the reverse side of t-shirt to add new value of the unsold T-shirt so that now people can wear to help the others and at the same time showing that Indonesia people still can unite even in a bad situation.

The concept of BOLBAL.

Unlike the first bomb incident in JW Marriots on 2003, after having several attacks in the last few years, this last attacks did not cause people too be overwhelmed by the devastating terror. Indonesian people have learned how to overcome it, and even be more prepared and stronger in facing it. By wearing the BOLBAL T-shirt, we refer to a FLIP FLOP situation when we could be repeatedly attacked by devastating terror, fear, and failure but we can keep stand still. That weโ€™re doing just fine as long as weโ€™re united.

    i love it….

  19. Erma says:

    Ide bagus ๐Ÿ˜€
    tapi apakah kausnya beneran bisa dipake reversible? Maksudnya, apakah jahitan dalamnya (yang sekarang jadi bagian luar) serapi bagian luar (yang sekarang jadi dalam)? Maap, bukan maksud nyinyir. Cuma penasaran aja ๐Ÿ™‚

    • bolbal says:

      Hi Erma,

      kalau rapih sih enggak, karena ini memang kaos recycle. Tapi pernah ada trend dimana kaos dipakai terbalik dgn jahitan di luar yang jadinya malah bisa keren ๐Ÿ™‚ dan tentunya… unik, karena membuat kaos recycle ini jadi special.

      Thanks for the visit ya.

  20. Sarah says:

  22. kasriadi says:

    di mana bisa saya beli?

  23. Ayur Kayana says:

    Dear,

    Setuju sekali dengan pembuatan kaos tersebut tetapi alangkah lebih baik lagi kalau pembuatan kaos tersebut bukan hanya mengatasnamakan moment tetapi ada tindak lanjut yang lebih jauh dari sekedar “mengenang” saja dari suatu tragedi kemanusiaan.

    Kita tahu bahwa akar dari kekerasan ini adalah pembodohan dan pemiskinan. Kalau kita tergerak sebagai kesatuan orang-orang yang cinta Indonesia, mari kita bantu dengan sedikit (kalau bisa banyak) membantu warga yang serba kekurangan. Contoh, sebagian dana dari hasil penjualan kaos tersebut bisa diberikan ke sekolah-sekolah yang sudah mau ambruk atau membantu mereka yang tidak mempunyai bangku-bangku sekolah sehingga ketika mendapatkan pendidikan pun mereka mendapatkan pendidikan yang maksimal.

    Ini hanya sumbangan pemikiran saja agar kita tidak larut dalam suatu “eforia” kedukaan tetapi hanya bisa teriak dan teriak saja tanpa sebuah aksi yang maksimal.

    Salam.

    MERDEKA!!

      Hi Ayur,
      tentunya kita-kita di Bolbal pengen sekali kalau “gerakan mini” ini nantinya bisa berlanjut. Dan memang ke sana lah arah kami. Membantu memberi solusi-solusi yang mini juga untuk masalah-masalah yang ada di sekitar kita.
      perlu diketahui juga, kalau untuk kerjaan bolbal ini kami tidak mengambil keuntungan sama sekali. ada bumper memang tapi tidak signifikan. lebih untuk kalau-kalau ada biaya tambahan yang kita butuhkan.
      terima kasih buat masukannya yang berarti banget. jangan lupa ikutin terus ya. kalau mau gabung, boleh banget!

      • bolbal says:

        wah udah dijelasin dengan lengkap oleh Glenn ๐Ÿ™‚

        Makasih ya atas masukannya, Ayur. Akan kami pertimbangkan gimana supaya movement ini akan tetap bergulir dan bukan hanya euphoria semalam.
        Ikuti terus update kami untuk tetap tahu perkembangan dari movement ini, dan kami tunggu kalau mau ikut bergabung ๐Ÿ™‚

        Salam,

  24. ryan says:

    boleh nga ikut partisipasi gerakan mini ini agar membuka wawasan perdamaian yang besar kepada dunia…..?

  25. sutrisno says:

    bantu sell dunk di MEDAN –
    blh??

    • bolbal says:

      boleh. tapi karena keterbatasan dana, untuk sementara kami cuma bisa produksi 100 kaos dulu. untuk sampe ke medan sepertinya terlalu sedikit. kecuali ada yang mau jadi sponsor modal, kita bisa produksi lebih banyak.

  26. Ayu rahman says:

    Pertanyaan gw cm 1. mahal ga? hehe.. brpa hrganya bo..? *eh 2 pertanyaan yah itu mah =p*

  27. Rivanlee says:

    pricenya berapa mas??

  28. Hera says:

    Aku jadi kepikiran, gimana kalo ada yg bikin kaos gambar Noordin M.Top dgn segala variasi wajahnya, plus tulisan WANTED dan jumlah hadiahnya.
    Biar wajahnya ada di mana2 dan dia segera ketangkep.

  29. leea says:

    Good idea … Can i have one???

  30. Adit says:

    Pinter bgt… ๐Ÿ™‚

    Gw pasti beli…

  31. Justinus Bramanto says:

    In Indonesia, life gets harder by the day. The economical situation forces prices to rise, the lack of job vacancy against the rising population, the traffic that we have to go through everyday due to that population issue…

    And to make things worst, we had to endure yet another bomb incident.

    Despite how less shock Indonesian was to the incident after experiencing it for a few times, despite how we react to it by saying we are not afraid, some life was lost, and casualties occurred.

    Bolbal is a movement to help some of those casualties, which are the street vendors who loses a great amount of capital due to the cancellation of a big match following the incident.

    By supporting Bolbal, which is also a part of the IndonesiaUnite movement, You would be supporting our street vendors to rise up and face a new day, You would be showing how we could still care for others while living Your own hard earned life, You will be supporting a cause for the nation, a calling to unite against terror, a calling to show that there is still hope for human kind despite all the terrible things that happened

    Support Bolbal, buy and use the t-shirt on August 17, 2009!

  32. mahar says:

      wah kalau jadi tren baru, bener-bener di luar dugaan!
      sejujurnya, bolbal hanya bisa hidup dan berkembang kalau didukung dan dibantu oleh semua.
      terima kasih buat semangatnya!

  48. excellent points altogether, you just received a new reader. What might you recommend in regards to your submit that you simply made some days in the past? Any sure?

  49. The clothing on the big and tall portion of the JCPenny site are primarily business casual in nature,
    with a focus on brands such as Stafford, Van Heusen, and Claiborne.

    themselves in their appearance.
