NEW RUGBY CANADA MACRON JERSEYS FEATURE RED, BLACK AND MAPLE LEAVES

Rugby Canada has unveiled its new Macron jerseys for the National Men’s Teams’ upcoming international matches, having joined the increasingly long list of federations that have chosen to team up with Macron as technical sponsor last year.

The home jersey is red with a white polo collar and white sleeve trim. The rear of the neck has a red label featuring the lettering EMPOWER OUR CANADIAN ATHLETES, while the interior of the collar features a strip reading “We Stand on Guard For Thee”, an excerpt from the Canadian national anthem. The distinctive feature of the kits is the sublimation printing effect on the sleeves and shoulders depicting the maple leaf with eleven points – the symbol of Canada. The same design features on the sides of the jersey, in a tone-on-tone effect.

The Italian brand’s Macron Hero logo is embroidered in white on the right breast, while the Rugby Canada logo appears over the heart on the left. The home kit is finished with red shorts with the maple design on the sides and red socks with upper trim in white.

The away kit, meanwhile, is in black with a red polo collar. The sleeves are finished with a stripe each of red and white. The away jerseys also feature the maple leaf graphic which appears on the home kits, with this also used in a tone-on-tone effect on the shoulders and sleeves. The EMPOWER OUR CANADIAN ATHLETES and “We Stand on Guard For Thee” messages again appear at the rear of the neck and inside the neck respectively. The Macron Hero in white is positioned on the breast, as is the Canada Rugby crest. The shorts are black with a red drawstring at the waist, while the black socks feature two thin white and red stripes running horizontally across the top.

Both jerseys have a Body-Fit fit, while the main material used is Armevo, an elastic, resistant material which will guarantee maximum comfort for the players on the pitch.
