MULTI-COLOURED ZEBRA GRAPHICS AND A 'HEROES' MOTTO ON THE NEW ZEBRE RUGBY JERSEYS

Zebre Rugby Club, the Italian Rugby Federation owned franchise playing in the URC-United Rugby Championship and Macron, the Hero company, have presented the new jerseys for the next competitive season. The 2021-2022 match kits confirm the choice of the club's multi-coloured zebra graphic, expression, and symbol.

The new "Home" is black with a V-neck with tricolour details on edge. The tricolour is also present on the sleeve edges. The backneck is personalised with the club's logo on a zebra-striped graphic background that recalls the one on the jersey. The front of the shirt features the characteristic multi-coloured zebra graphic, created in collaboration with Areaitalia, a Parma-based communication and advertising agency that created the Zebre logo in 2012. Shapes of various colours (fluorescent pink, fluorescent orange and fluorescent yellow) follow one another on a background that shifts from fluorescent green to light blue. The Macron Hero is on the right chest, beside the F.I.R. coat of arms on the centre and the Zebre Rugby Club logo on the left.

On the outer backneck is printed in white the wording 'GRAZIE LUCA', in memory of Luca Sisti, the club's video analyst who passed away in 2015 following a car accident. On the back is the inscription 'AUT FACERE SCRIBENDA, AUT SCRIBERE LEGENDA', a Latin motto written by Pliny the Younger and whose meaning is to 'do things worthy of being written and told about".

The 'Away' version has the same design as the first shirt, but the dominant colour is white. It has a V-neck with tricolour details on edge. The tricolour is also present on the sleeve edges. The zebra graphic differs from the 'Home' rearranging the background colours: blue fades into fluo green.

All the jerseys have a Body fit and the fabrics used are specifically Armevo with Boditex inserts, materials that ensure maximum resistance, lightness and breathability. The new match kits and the exclusive clothing and merchandising that Macron creates for Zebre Rugby Club are available in the section dedicated to the club on the website macron.com and in several Macron Stores, including Macron Store Parma and the Sergio Lanfranchi Stadium.
