Scotland’s new international kits for the 2020/21 season, produced by Macron, have been launched today.
For Scotland’s men and women the traditional navy-blue shirt features touches of white and gold and carries an embossed tartan effect, while the reintroduction of white shorts and navy socks represents a return to some of the most iconic Scottish kits of the past.

The incorporation of gold into the design commemorates the upcoming 150th anniversary of the first ever international rugby match, played between Scotland and England at Raeburn Place in Edinburgh in 1871.
The kit is produced with the Macron-designed ARMEVO + Bodytex fabric and boasts a traditional polo-neck collar with gold piping to complement its classic look.
The wait is over 🙌

Paired with raspberry shorts and socks, complete with navy detailing, it is designed to represent the carnival atmosphere associated with the abbreviated format of the game.
