Edinburgh Rugby today launched the club\u2019s new home and alternate Macron kit for the 22\/23 next season, in which the capital side will celebrate its 150th anniversary. The new home kit is inspired by, and pays homage to, the iconic Queensferry Crossing, which connects the Lothians to Fife in a nod to the club\u2019s city and wider-regional fan base.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The bold alternate kit focuses on the club\u2019s burnt orange colours, which take inspiration from the capital city\u2019s volcanic origins. Both jerseys carry proudly the logo of Main Club Partner Scottish Building Society, who feature prominently on the chest of both shirts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Edinburgh Rugby supporters can also look forward to a special edition 150th anniversary-inspired Macron kit which will be launched ahead of the festive intercity derbies, as both the capital club and rivals Glasgow Warriors pay tribute the 150th anniversary of the first-ever meeting between the two sides, which took place on 23 November 1872.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The new home shirt has a V-neck with burnt orange trim, a colour that is repeated on the sleeve cuffs. The front and back of the shirt feature dye-sub printed graphics to create geometric shapes to illustrate the \u2018sails\u2019 formed by the cables of the new Forth river crossing, the longest of its kind in the world. A sweat band inside the neck bears the words \u2018EST 1872\u2019, paying homage to the year in which the club first emerged as a representative side, with the Edinburgh Rugby badge on the left chest and the Macron Hero logo on the right. The home kit is completed by navy blue shorts with burnt orange inserts and navy blue socks with orange cuffs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
