There\u2019s a fresh look for Scottish Rugby heading into the 2025-26 season \u2013 and it\u2019s one steeped in passion, identity, and the unmistakable roar of a Murrayfield crowd.<\/p>\n
Unveiled this week by Macron and Scottish Rugby, the new home kit will make its on-field debut this November during the Quilter Nations Series. It will then be worn by the Men\u2019s, Women\u2019s and U20s squads throughout the Six Nations campaigns starting in the new year.<\/p>\n
In classic navy blue with subtle flourishes of heather purple, the jersey keeps to Scotland\u2019s traditional aesthetic but adds a modern emotional punch \u2013 quite literally. The standout design feature? A tonal sound wave running across the sleeves, capturing the chant of \u201cSCOTLAND! SCOTLAND! SCOTLAND!\u201d as heard from the stands of Scottish Gas Murrayfield. It\u2019s a visual echo of the fans\u2019 voice, stitched directly into the fabric of the team.<\/p>\n
Macron\u2019s Ross Cook summed it up:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo excited to be unveiling the new Scottish Rugby home kit as a tribute to the unique roar of Scottish Gas Murrayfield and the Hive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to capture the emotion every fan feels as the stadium erupts, interpreting that iconic sound into a striking sound wave design embossed into the fabric of the jersey.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\u201cThis jersey doesn\u2019t just represent a Scottish team, it echoes a nation\u2019s pride.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The word \u201cScotland\u201d is embossed repeatedly across the lower back, while inside the collar a bespoke tape alternates between the national crest and the team\u2019s name \u2013 reinforcing the message that this is a jersey not just worn, but lived in.<\/p>\n
Lead Creative Designer at Scottish Rugby, Laura Chessar, noted the emotional weight behind the design:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis season\u2019s design on our traditional dark navy base with a hint of purple heather on the trim is brought to life with the actual sound wave of home fans chanting \u2018SCOTLAND! SCOTLAND! SCOTLAND!\u2019 illustrated across the players\u2019 shoulders and the words across their backs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\u201cWhen you hear the chant, the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and you\u2019re transported to the electric atmosphere of Scottish Gas Murrayfield matchday.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Beyond its emotive design, the kit also takes a step forward in sustainability. As with all Macron\u2019s technical garments, it\u2019s crafted from Eco Fabric \u2013 100% recycled polyester sourced from plastic bottles. The use of Eco Armevo, Eco Bodytex and Eco Strong Mesh materials ensures the kit is as durable and breathable as it is environmentally conscious.<\/p>\n
The home kit is rounded out with navy shorts (featuring lighter navy side stripes and purple trim) and navy socks topped with a subtle purple stripe \u2013 a nod to the nation\u2019s landscape and heritage.<\/p>\n
Fans can get their hands on the full range \u2013 including replica kits and exclusive Macron-designed merchandise \u2013 starting today at the Official Scottish Rugby Stores in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Wider retail availability begins 2 August, with the away kit set to drop in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t just a kit. It\u2019s a statement of identity, pride, and purpose. A visual representation of the 16th man in the stands \u2013 because when the team wears this jersey, they\u2019re wearing every voice that\u2019s ever belted out\u00a0Flower of Scotland\u00a0in full volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a fresh look for Scottish Rugby heading into the 2025-26 season \u2013 and it\u2019s one steeped in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5009],"tags":[748,1123,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-290694","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-scotland","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114914125457323349","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
