The entire front panel, shoulders and sleeves feature a 3D-effect graphic in a variety of colours and shades symbolising climate change. The back of the neck is personalised with a label which, against a background featuring the graphic detail from the home shirt, displays the club logo and the word ‘OSPREYS’, the Macron logo and the words ‘Designed in Bologna’, to certify and highlight how each garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus. On the chest, on the right-hand side and in black, is embroidered the Macron the Hero, on the left, on the heart side, the coat of arms of the Ospreys.

On the bottom of the shirt there is a personalised inner tape featuring the slogan, interspersed with the Ospreys logo, which reads THIS JERSEY IS MADE FROM 13 RECYCLED BOTTLES, emphasising that it is made from Eco Fabric, a 100% polyester fabric derived from recycled post-consumer plastic, and that each jersey uses the equivalent of 13 0.5-litre plastic bottles. The club crest is printed in black on the outer back of the collar, flanked by the acronym OITC namely OSPREYS IN THE COMMUNITY, a tribute to the not-for-profit foundation which, together with the Welsh club, works and carries out activities to benefit the community through various programmes in the fields of sport and physical activity, health and wellbeing, education and employment.
