Firebrand and controversial President of Kumasi-based King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Gruzah has stirred controversy for his comments regarding Asante Kotoko's new Errea jerseys.

On Wednesday, Ghana Premier League champions Asante Kotoko unveiled brand new jerseys for the 2022/2023 season.

The two jerseys, the home and away kit, are predominantly red in colour for the home one, while the away kit is also primarily green in colour.

Kotoko's new home kit is red with a white v-neck colour with white trims on the sleeves of the jersey whiles the jersey has the porcupine logo engrained all over with the picture of the life patron of the club H.M Otumfour Osei Tutu II emblazoned on the right bottom corner.

Speaking in an interview with Kumasi-based Kessben FM, the often controversial football administrator says that Kotoko should not have Otumfour's image in front of their jersey as it is a 'village practice'.

He also added that the Asantehene does not go to any battle and loses and in football Kotoko will lose games so the elders of Asanteman should try and take it off.

According to Gruzah it's only sponsors who have their logos emblazoned in front of club jerseys and this is unheard off.

‘It's uncivilized to have put Otumfuo on the Kotoko Jersey. In fact, it's a village thing. Otumfuo is more than that. Otumfuo does not go to war and lose. Maybe these Ashantis don't know how Otumfuo is valued. Who does not know Otumfuo is the owner of the club? Which team does that in the world? We put sponsors on Jerseys. This is not maturity, they've already done it but they can go back and change’ - Alhaji Grusah on Kessben TV
