Macron and Castres Olympique begin their new journey together with the unveiling of the 2026/27 Home Kit, the first jersey created by the Italian brand for the Occitan club in the year that marks the club’s 120th anniversary.
The partnership brings together two organisations united by deeply rooted values: identity, belonging and a strong connection to their local community. The new kit, which will be worn during home matches at the Stade Pierre Fabre, reinterprets the club’s tradition through a contemporary design that reflects the bond with the city of Castres and its most iconic symbols, while also conveying a strong message of sustainability.
Like all technical garments developed by Macron for its sporting partners, the new Castres Olympique Home Kit is made from Eco Fabric, a polyester fabric produced entirely from certified recycled plastic, reflecting the shared commitment of both club and brand to more responsible manufacturing.
The new 2026/27 Home Kit features a deeper shade of blue than that used in recent seasons. This choice pays tribute to the club’s historic kits and, combined with the white polo collar, creates an elegant and timeless aesthetic for the club’s 120th anniversary season. The white sleeve cuffs are enhanced by a tone-on-tone graphic depicting the outline of the historic colourful houses overlooking the River Agout, one of the most iconic views of Castres.
On the chest, the white silicone-printed Macron Hero appears alongside the Castres Olympique crest, produced in a 3D print with a suede-effect base. The external backneck features the embroidered wording “ENSEMBLE DEPUIS 1906”, celebrating the club’s history and this year’s significant anniversary. An embossed detail on the lower back of the shirt reproduces the coat of arms of the Occitan city.
The graphic motif of the riverside houses reappears on a blue background within the internal backneck label, where the club’s 120th anniversary is celebrated with the Castres Olympique crest, the wording “120 ans”, and the dates 1906–2026. The label also features the Macron Hero and the inscription “Designed in Bologna”, highlighting that every garment is conceived, developed and perfected at the Macron Campus.
Blue shorts complete the kit, featuring two white side inserts enriched with the same graphic as the shirt. The blue socks feature a white turnover, the Macron Hero on the front, and the year 1906 on the back.
The shirt has a Body Fit and is made primarily from Eco Armevo, a fabric specifically developed for rugby to provide optimum performance and excellent tear resistance. Eco Boditex and Eco Strong Mesh inserts ensure lightness, exceptional breathability and freedom of movement, meeting the demands of athletes competing at the highest level.
