The pride of being Welsh, the words of the national anthem, the symbols on their flags: these are the elements that characterise the new jumpers Home and Away, with which the Welsh Rugby Union Men’s National Team will take to the field in the 2023 Rugby World Cup, taking place in France from 8 September to 28 October.

This will be an opportunity to wear the new kits produced by Macron, the Welsh Rugby Union’s technical partner since 2021, which, as well as evoking a strong sense of connection to the history and symbols of Welsh tradition, convey a clear message of sustainability.

The new Welsh Rugby Union homepage for the 2023 Rugby World Cup It is predominantly in the traditional key of red which is characteristic of the Welsh national team. The polo collar is white, as is the dark red stripe along the sleeve edges, a shade that is also featured on the sides of the shirt. The back of the neck, set against a red background, features the Welsh Rugby Union logo, the Macron logo and the words ‘Designed in Bologna’, to certify and highlight how each garment is conceived, designed and developed in the Macron headquarters. On the chest, from the right, the Rugby World Cup France 2023 logo is embroidered in white, along with the Macron the Hero and the WRU crest. The graphic detail that characterises the Wales home shirt appears both beneath the collar and along the lower sides and back of the shirt. It consists of an embossed print of the Welsh words of the anthem “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau”, a true declaration of love for one’s homeland, sung from the stands of the Principality Stadium by the Red Dragons’ supporters, with the phrase PLEIDIOL WYF I’M GWLAD standing out (I am loyal to my country).

Predominantly black, the jersey features a polo collar with yellow trim; the same colour is used on the sleeve cuffs and on the chest for the embroidered logos of the Rugby World Cup France 2023, Macron Hero and the Welsh Rugby Union crest.
