Edinburgh Rugby’s new Home and Alternate jerseys

Edinburgh Rugby, Scotland’s capital city club – who last year celebrated 150 years of history – is preparing for an exciting new season in the BKT United Rugby Championship and EPCR Challenge Cup. The team has unveiled their new jerseys for the 2023-24 season, which keep the navy blue combined with reflex blue and burnt orange in the home shirt, while white melange and burnt orange distinguish the alternate version. In both cases the jerseys are made by Macron in Eco Fabric, 100% polyester from recycled plastic, and represent a strong message of sustainability and environmental friendliness.

The new Home jersey has a navy blue polo collar, complemented by details in burnt orange, the same colour combination present on the sleeve cuffs. The main body of the jersey is in navy blue with three wide horizontal bands (on the chest, stomach and bottom of the jersey) made up of fine horizontal stripes of different thicknesses in reflex blue that create a shaded effect. The inside neck label is customised with the Edinburgh Rugby colours and logo, along with the Macron Hero logo and the words “Designed in Bologna” certifying that the garment is designed and developed at Macron’s Bologna Headquarters. Embroidered in white on the outside back collar is the inscription “EST - 1872”, the year the Club was founded. The Macron Hero appears in white on the right side of the chest, and the Edinburgh Rugby crest on the left. The Home kit is completed by navy blue shorts with side bands that replicate the striped graphics of the jersey. The socks on the lower half are navy blue, while from the middle upwards they feature different sized stripes in reflex blue with a shaded effect and an orange horizontal stripe on the upper edge.

The Alternate shirt is in white melange with a polo collar, the sleeve edges and side stripes are in burnt orange. The melange effect is also amplified by the tone-on-tone graphics made up of numerous stripes of different sizes on the front and back. Again, as in Home jersey, the inside neck label is customised and the wording “EST - 1872” is embroidered in navy blue on the back neck. The shorts are also white melange and have a series of different sized horizontal stripes on the sides in burnt orange. The socks mirror the graphic layout of those of the Home kit, but with the combination of white and burnt orange colours and a double white-navy blue stripe on the upper edge.

The Body Fit shirts are made mainly from Eco-Armevo with Eco-Boditex and Eco-Strong Mesh inserts for maximum strength along with lightness and perfect breathability. These new 2023-2024 kits, along with all the other articles in Macron’s teamwear collection for the Edinburgh Rugby, are available from the section of the macron.com website dedicated to the Scottish club.
