Connacht Rugby’s green: identity and design in the new 2026/27 Home Kit created by Macron

Connacht Rugby has unveiled its new 2026/27 Home Kit, produced by Macron, the Irish province’s technical partner for the past three seasons. The new strip offers a contemporary interpretation of the club’s identity and the region it represents, combining dynamic design, distinctive details and a colour palette dominated by Connacht’s iconic green.

The new 2026/27 Home jersey comes in a deep dark green shade, enhanced by bright green details that elevate the design and emphasise its modern character. The V-neck collar is finished with light green inserts, a colour also featured in the underarm areas and on the rear panel just below the shoulders. Further defining the garment is a graduated geometric graphic running along the sides and sleeve cuffs, where different shades of green create a dynamic and contemporary visual effect, enhancing the kit’s aesthetic while maintaining a strong connection to the club’s traditional colours.

Displayed in white on the chest are the Macron Hero and the Connacht Rugby crest, both applied using sublimation printing. The back-neck area features a customised label divided diagonally between the two green shades that define the jersey, incorporating the club logo, the Macron logo and the wording “Designed in Bologna”, highlighting how every garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus.

The kit is completed by dark green shorts with white drawstrings and coordinated graphic details on the sides that echo the jersey’s geometric pattern, together with dark green socks enhanced by a bright green band around the top.

The new Home Kit is manufactured entirely from Eco Fabric materials, made from 100% polyester derived from recycled post-consumer plastic. The main fabric used is Eco Armevo, developed to provide outstanding durability during the most intense phases of play, while Eco Boditex and Eco Strong Mesh inserts ensure lightness, comfort and maximum breathability.
