Just a few weeks after the partnership was announced, Macron e Major League Rugby reveal the New Game Sets of the eleven franchises which, from the end of February 2025, will form the new edition of the top-flight US rugby league. The Italian brand, which will outfit not only the players but also all the coaching staff and match officials working across all venues, has created kits for each team featuring fully customised graphics and designs that highlight the identity, symbols and cultural elements that fully represent the regions and cities they represent. All technical garments are made from Eco Fabric, 100% polyester % made from post-consumer recycled plastic. A strong message of sustainability and respect for the environment that has characterised Macron’s production for years and is widely shared by all its partner clubs and federations.
Anthem RC
Stars are the defining feature of the’Anthem RC, a club based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The new home shirt, with a V-neck, is light blue with dark grey sleeve cuffs and gold-coloured logos. The sleeves, as well as the centre front and back panels, feature a tone-on-tone graphic with a repeating star motif. The away kit features the same graphic design, but in white, with light blue sleeve trims and V-neck collar detailing.
Chicago Hounds
I Chicago Hounds They will take to the pitch in a green home kit featuring wide horizontal white stripes across the front. The polo-style collar, fastened with two buttons, is also white. The away kit is dark green with a white collar. The shirt features a tone-on-tone design comprising broken, overlapping geometric lines representing the waters of the Chicago River, the system of rivers and canals that runs through the centre of Illinois’s capital city.
Houston SaberCats
The Houston SaberCats, for the Home kit, they have opted for a black jersey with a crew neck and yellow sleeve trim, featuring tone-on-tone graphics across the body and sleeves, with a repeated design of the sabre-toothed cat from the club’s logo. The away kit features the same graphic layout; in this case, it is white with a crew neck and sleeve cuffs featuring yellow and black detailing.
Miami Sharks
The new kits for the Miami Sharks. The new home kit is a fusion of colours, with a gradient that starts with a light blue on the right-hand side of the shirt, turns into a blue verging on purple in the centre, and then fades into a bright pink on the left-hand side. The same colour combination is also featured on the shorts. Equally vibrant is the away kit, characterised by a very bright shade of pink, over which the shark fin design appears repeatedly in various sizes, printed in black using sublimation printing.
New England Free Jacks
The white, red and blue of the American flag are the colours that characterise the new kits of the reigning champions of the New England Free Jacks. The home kit features narrower, alternating horizontal stripes, whilst the away kit is predominantly red, with two wide blue stripes across the shoulders and down the centre of the shirt, along with a white stripe across the chest.
New Orleans Gold
I New Orleans Gold They live up to their name, sporting a home shirt in white and gold with a quartered design, featuring diagonal dividing lines between the different sections and a perforated-effect pattern on the gold section. The design is a reference to the historic coat of arms that represented the city when Louisiana was a Spanish colony, between 1762 and 1803. This coat of arms still appears today on the famous signs bearing the names of the city’s streets from the era of Spanish rule. The Away version is based on the four colours that characterise Mardi Gras, the famous carnival in New Orleans: the gold of the polo collar, the stitching and the horizontal band across the centre of the chest; the white of the shoulders and upper section; the green of the band running down the centre of the shirt from the sleeves; and the purple, which takes up the majority of the space down to the bottom of the shirt.
Old Glory DC
For the’Old Glory DC, a team representing the US capital, Washington DC, the home shirt is blue with white and red trim on the polo collar, sleeves and hem, whilst the away shirt is white with red and blue detailing. Both shirts feature a sublimated, tone-on-tone graphic with a repeating star design. The kit was inspired by the official uniforms worn by US athletes at the recent Paris Olympics.
RFC Los Angeles
The night-time lights of Los Angeles – also known as the ‘City of Lights’ for this very reason – have inspired the new home shirt of the’RFC Los Angeles. Light blue is the dominant colour across the entire shirt, featuring a dotted white pattern and two vertical blue stripes down the sides. The polo collar and sleeve cuffs, on the other hand, are yellow. The away kit, on the other hand, is predominantly white, with a design featuring dots in light blue and yellow that gradually fade towards the bottom of the kit. The stripes on the sides are sky blue and the detailing on the polo collar and sleeve cuffs are, once again, yellow.
San Diego Legion
An all-black design for the new homepage of the San Diego Legion, which features a white polo collar and white sleeve cuffs, along with a tone-on-tone geometric pattern across the entire shirt. The away kit features the same graphic design with tone-on-tone geometric shapes, but in this case on an entirely red background, with the exception of the white polo collar and white sleeve cuffs.
Seattle Seawolves
I Seattle Seawolves They will wear a navy blue home kit with green stitching, sleeve edges and hem. In the centre, on both the front and back, there is an alternating tone-on-tone design featuring wavy lines evoking the sea and the silhouettes of the mountain peaks and forests surrounding the American city, the capital of the state of Washington. Water, on the other hand, is the dominant theme of the away kit, depicted through a light sky-blue and white sublimation print. The details on the V-neck and sleeve hems are navy blue in this case.
Utah Warriors
Finally, the Utah Warriors They feature a black home shirt with a V-neck and red sleeve trim. On the front, in red, is a design depicting the mountain ranges that characterise this US state. Four words are printed on the sleeve trim: Tradition – Respect – Community – Family. A stripe consisting of four vertical red lines runs down from the left shoulder, ending at chest height, with the club crest positioned above it. The away kit features the same layout as the home shirt in red, with the mountain design in white and the lettering in red on the white sleeve cuffs.
All the kits for the eleven Major League Rugby clubs are made from Eco Fabric; specifically, the main fabric used is Eco Armevo with inserts in Eco Boditex, materials which, whilst being lightweight and breathable, ensure maximum durability and a high standard of quality and technical performance.
