Macron<\/a><\/strong> and the Federazione Italiana Rugby (F.I.R.)<\/a><\/strong> have officially unveiled the new 2025\/26 Home and Alternate Kits<\/strong>, designed to accompany the men\u2019s and women\u2019s Italian national rugby teams through an intense new sporting season. These kits tell a story of deep national identity, expressed through historical references, iconic symbols and carefully considered colour choices. A perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, enhanced by the refined design of the Macron Style Department and the use of high-performance materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A design that celebrates Italy and the \u2018Risorgimento\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of all the 2025\/26 Game Set<\/strong> lies inspiration from Botticino Marble<\/strong>, the same used in the construction of the Vittoriano<\/strong>, the national monument symbolic of Italian unification located in the city centre of Rome. The marble-effect graphic, created using tone-on-tone sublimation printing, pays tribute to these unique veins and becomes a hallmark of both the Home and Away kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding further value to the design, on a gold background inside the collar is the phrase attributed to Giuseppe Garibaldi<\/strong> during the Battle of Calatafimi \u2013 \u201cQUI SI FA L\u2019ITALIA O SI MUORE!\u201d<\/em> (Here we make Italy or we die!) \u2013 a symbol of the spirit and courage that unites all Azzurri players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusive details and premium Macron quality<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The shirts are distinguished by an elegant gold-trimmed polo collar<\/strong>, a customised back neck featuring the F.I.R. and Macron logos, and the wording \u201cDesigned in Bologna<\/em>\u201d, underlining that each garment is conceived and created at the Macron Campus<\/a><\/strong>, the headquarters of the leading sportswear brand in Valsamoggia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the chest, the Macron Hero<\/strong> is embroidered in gold in the Home version and in navy blue in the Away, complementing the Federation\u2019s crest. On the outer rear collar, the word ITALIA<\/strong> in gold appears alongside the Italian tricolour, while the back features an embossed graphic of the Vittoriano<\/strong>, adding an extra touch of elegance and national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
