Macron and Scottish Rugby Unveil Murrayfield Centenary Kit and Collection

Italian sportswear giant Macron has once again affirmed its deep-rooted association with rugby union, continuing its long-standing partnership with Scottish Rugby. The collaboration is set to unveil a special co-produced kit and a complementary casualwear collection, designed to commemorate a significant milestone for the sport in Scotland: the 100th anniversary of its iconic national stadium, Murrayfield.

Next month, the highly anticipated "new and unique" Scotland jersey will be officially revealed. This commemorative kit will be prominently featured when Scotland faces New Zealand on November 8th in the much-anticipated ‘Centenary Test’. This special ‘Murrayfield 100’ kit marks a momentous occasion, being worn some 36,757 days after the Scotland team first graced the hallowed grounds of the stadium, adding a rich layer of history to the upcoming match.

The design of the Centenary Test jersey is a thoughtful blend of tradition and modern aesthetics. It features a classic navy-blue shirt, elegantly complemented by a crisp white polo collar and a two-button placket. Inside the collar, a bespoke customised tape runs, alternately bearing the word "Scotland" and the Scottish Rugby logo, adding an intricate detail. The sleeve cuffs further enhance the design with a subtle tonal graphic, ingenibly inspired by the distinctive metal framework of the stadium itself.

Attention to detail continues with the jersey's various embroidered elements. Adorning the left sleeve in striking gold are the words ‘Murrayfield Stadium 1925–2025’, marking the centenary period. On the chest, the 'Macron Hero' logo is embroidered tone-on-tone on the right, while on the left, the historic first Scottish Rugby Union crest is proudly displayed in white. Scottish Rugby’s current logo is also subtly embroidered tone-on-tone on the right sleeve, completing the symbolic narrative.

The commemorative kit is completed by a pair of pristine white shorts, which also feature the historic SRU crest and the Macron Hero, both meticulously embroidered in gold on the thighs. Demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability, this entire kit, like all garments produced by Macron for Scottish Rugby, is crafted from ‘Eco Fabrics’. This innovative material is 100% polyester, derived entirely from post-consumer recycled plastic, highlighting an eco-conscious approach to sportswear production.

For fans eager to own a piece of this historic celebration, replica jerseys will be available for purchase. The standard replica jerseys are priced at £85, junior jerseys at £69, and a premium Bodyfit version at £115, offering options for various preferences and budgets.

Complementing the on-field attire is the exclusive ‘Icon Capsule Collection’, a range of casualwear designed for supporters. This collection includes a sleek black polo shirt, a versatile high-neck full-zip sweatshirt, and a stylish travel jacket complete with matching trousers. All items in this capsule collection proudly feature the Scottish Rugby logo and the Macron Hero, applied with a distinctive white silicone finish that creates a sophisticated 3D effect.

Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, expressed his pride in the collaboration, stating: “Macron and rugby have always been inseparable, as has our relationship with Scottish Rugby – the first major rugby federation to wear our designs. We’re… proud to have created this special kit, as the values and spirit of rugby are born and nurtured in iconic places like Murrayfield.” His words underscore the profound connection between the brand, the sport, and the cherished venues that define its legacy.
