Scottish Rugby’s new Away Kit by Macron shouts ‘Alba gu bràth’ – Scotland forever!

Just one week after revealing the Home Kit, Scottish Rugby and Macron have presented the new Away kit the players will wear next season. Scottish pride and identity, as always, are the key features of the latest game set, along with quality, advanced technology and unrivalled performance – without forgetting refined and stylish graphics, of course. The new kit is made from Eco Fabric, a polyester fabric 100% derived from post-consumer recycled plastic that confirms the shared commitment of Macron and Scottish Rugby to the cause of sustainability and respect for the environment.

The new Away shirt comes in shades of blue and white with navy blue details. The shirt has a navy blue polo neck, a lighter blue inside pleat, and a lace closure. The combination of navy and lighter blue is also on the sleeve cuffs. The shoulders and the top of the chest are white, but this shades into light blue, which becomes gradually darker towards the bottom of the shirt. The sleeves repeat the same shades of colour. Large blue bands run down the shirt's sides and the back's bottom is in the same colour.

The inside neck label adopts the same custom graphics as the Home shirt on a navy blue background. The label features the Scottish Rugby logo, the motto #AsOne, the Macron logo and the words Designed in Bologna, certifying that the garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus. A customised sweatband around the inside of the neck repeats the word Scotland, alternating with the Scottish Rugby logo. The Macron Hero is embroidered on the right of the chest, and the Scottish Rugby badge on the left, both in navy blue.

Two important graphic details embellish the shirt. The words Alba gu bràth are printed in lighter blue inside the navy blue part of the sleeves. The Scottish Gaelic phrase means "Scotland forever". The other key feature is a dye-sub print of two crossed Claymore swords at the bottom of the shirt back. The Claymore is the ancient two-handed sword used by Scottish warriors between the 14th and 17th centuries.

The new shirt is made from Eco Armevo with Eco Boditex and Eco Strong Mesh inserts—three materials that ensure maximum strength, low weight, and excellent breathability. The new match kit, along with the Replica versions and the exclusive range of sportswear and merchandise produced by Macron for Scottish Rugby, is now available from the section of the the macron.com website dedicated to the Scottish national rugby team.
