NEW WELSH RUGBY UNION JERSEYS HAVE A GREEN SOUL
In light of a new and exciting season right around the corner, Welsh Rugby Union and Macron have unveiled the new jerseys that the current title holder of the Guinness Six Nations will wear.
The jerseys feature sophisticated and elegant graphics as well as a strong message of sustainability and respect for the environment, given their Eco-Fabric composition – polyester made in 100% recycled plastic, certified by the Global Recycled Standard. ‘Green souled’ shirts made with environmental protection in mind, a choice and mentality shared and appropriated by the Welsh Rugby Union.
The new 'Home' jersey is 'Wales red' with a V-neck with white borders, the same white borders also applied to the sleeves. On the chest, in lighter red sublimation print, there are lines that form the design of a V, taking inspiration from the lower part of the patch, with the Welsh coat of arms applied to the chest, heart side. The Macron Hero is embroidered in white, on the right. On the backneck, tone on tone in embossed graphics, the writing in Welsh ANRHYDEDD, meaning ‘Honour’.
The 'Away' version is black with a V-neck with dark green borders and white details. The shirt features sublimation-printed tone-on-tone graphics composed of irregular geometric figures on both the front and back. The words ANGERDD, meaning ‘Passion’, appear embossed on the backneck. The Macron Hero is embroidered in white beside the patch with the logo of the Welsh Rugby Union.
Both jerseys have a Body Fit and the fabrics used are Eco-Armevo and Eco-Bodytex, which ensure lightness, breathability, and maximum resistance.
