New Wales Jersey Revealed

The new Macron Wales kit, to be worn for the first time against France in Paris in ten days’ time, has been unveiled simultaneously in the private changing rooms of the national team headquarters in Hensol and the Wales Women squad’s current base in Swansea University. Jonathan Davies and Ross Moriarty were joined ‘virtually’ by Wales Women captain Siwan Lillicrap and Gwen Crabb to reveal the kit against a backdrop of jerseys from the community game in Wales which have also been produced by the WRU’s new official technical partner. 

The launch of the new kit has taken on a post-Covid feel with both squads currently living in respective ‘bubbles’ and so the community aspect of the partnership - £1m of free kit to be supplied yearly to Welsh rugby clubs over six years – has been reflected by a display of existing Macron community rugby shirts. 

The new, bespoke, custom-made ‘home’ jersey from Macron is a deep traditional Welsh red.  It has a classic white v-neck collar tipped with green trim, with the same detailing to be found on the sleeve. A set of unique features sees the red dragon of the Welsh flag embossed across lower back of the shirt, an embossed pattern covering the sleeves - cleverly transforming the hexagonal shape of the WRU three-feathers logo into ‘dragon scales’ - and the Welsh word ANRHYDEDD (honour), also embossed, on the back of the collar.

The new Wales jerseys, both ‘home’ (RED)  and ‘away’ (BLACK), are available exclusively from the WRU both online (store.wru.co.uk) and at its flagship store in Cardiff now, where prices match or beat all Guinness Six Nations competitors in like for like categories, with the replica top priced at £70 and the bespoke, authentic playing jersey retailing at £96. LINK: https://www.wru.wales/2020/10/the-new-wales-kit-by-macron-revealed/
