Scottish Rugby launch new home kit for 2024/25 season

Scottish Rugby has launched the new home kit that the Scottish National teams will wear for the 2024/25 season.

Alongside kit manufacturers Macron, the SRU has given fans a first glimpse at the new dark blue kit.

Like all the kits produced by Macron, the new Home kit is made exclusively from Eco Fabric, a polyester material derived entirely from recycled, post-consumer plastic. 

The new Scottish Rugby Home shirt for the 2024/25 season is in navy blue, with a white polo neck and light green and blue details. The shirt features embossed graphics at the front and back, formed by vertical designs of ‘Claymores’, the ancient two-handed swords used by the Scottish clans in the late medieval period.

The word ‘Claymore’ comes from the Scottish Gaelic ‘claidheamh-mòr’, which means ‘large sword’.

The Claymore represents a historic symbol of Scotland and the Scottish people’s spirit and was chosen by Scotland players as a symbol to represent the shared heritage on Scottish nation many years ago. 

Scottish Rugby’s very own Claymore will be displayed in the National Team changing room, used by both Scotland Men and Scotland Women at Scottish Gas Murrayfield. It will be possible for fans to see it in person and hear more about its history by booking onto one of the stadium tours. 

Another important detail on the lower back of the shirt is an embossed graphic motif representing Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, the historic home of rugby in Scotland. The Macron Hero is embroidered in white on the chest, alongside the Scottish Rugby badge.

The inside neck label is customised with a pattern inspired by the architectural features of the national stadium on a navy blue background. The Scottish Rugby logo and the motto ‘As One’ appear on the right.

The words ‘Designed in Bologna’, written under the Macron logo, certify that the garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus in collaboration with Scottish Rugby Union.

The inside neck sweatband repeats the word ‘Scotland’, alternating with the Scottish Rugby Union logo.
