Italy Home Rugby Jersey 2025/2026 Macron Replica Azzurri

This Italy replica jersey 2025/2026 Macron is designed for demanding supporters who want to wear the azzurre colours with the same technical finishes as the players. The EcoFightex fabric made from 100% recycled polyester guarantees breathability and rapid drying, even after 80 minutes of stand atmosphere. The athletic cut follows European standards without compressing, offering freedom of movement whether you're sitting or standing. The embroidered FIR crest on the chest, the patriotic inscription "O qui si fa l'Italia o si muore" inside the polo collar and the Altare della Patria embossed at the bottom of the jersey anchor this model in Italian national identity — a direct homage to the Risorgimento and the unity forged on the field as in History.

Is the jersey identical to the one worn by the players?

No, this is a replica version — embroidered finishes and technical fabric are identical, but the cut is adapted for supporters rather than the demands of professional play.

Does the EcoFightex fabric resist frequent washing?

Yes, the recycled fibres retain their breathable properties and durability after numerous wash cycles at 30°C.

What size should I choose for a fitted cut?

The athletic cut follows European standards — take your usual size for a close-fitting adjustment, go up one size for more ease.

Care Instructions

Machine wash at maximum 30°C, delicate cycle recommended to preserve embroideries and embossed motifs. Air dry — polyester dries naturally in a few hours. No tumble dryer, no ironing over embroidered or printed areas. Turn the jersey inside out before washing to protect the FIR crest and sublimated details.

Design

The 100% recycled polyester used by Macron for this 2025/2026 jersey is part of the EcoFightex technology — a fabric made from regenerated fibres that retains all the performance of virgin polyester: optimal breathability thanks to its airy structure, rapid moisture wicking from the body, resistance to friction and express drying. The light weight (~180 g/m²) maintains a feeling of freshness even during hot days or emotionally intense matches. The sublimated motifs and embossed elements (Altare della Patria at the bottom of the jersey) resist repeated washing without losing sharpness or relief depth. The athletic cut hugs the body without compressing the shoulders or flanks, allowing freedom of movement and prolonged comfort. The classic polo collar incorporates the patriotic inscription "O qui si fa l'Italia o si muore" in embroidered characters inside — a direct reference to the words of Giuseppe Garibaldi during the Expedition of the Thousand in 1860, a symbol of determination and total commitment. The embroidered FIR crest in dense thread guarantees longevity and premium finish, while the Macron logo on the right chest recalls the technical partnership between the Bologna-based brand and the federation.

Italy Rugby: a nation on the rise

Italy has participated in the Six Nations Championship since 2000 and has qualified for all World Cups since 1987. The Squadra Azzurra made an impression with its historic victory over South Africa in 2016 in Florence (20-18) and its combative performances against the major rugby nations of the world. The FIR crest (Federazione Italiana Rugby, founded in 1928) symbolizes a rugby culture rooted in the north of the peninsula, particularly in Veneto and Emilia-Romagna, historic regions of transalpine rugby. The jersey features the Altare della Patria embossed — Rome's national monument dedicated to Victor Emmanuel II — and the inscription "O qui si fa l'Italia o si muore", an emblematic phrase from the Risorgimento that resonates as a rallying cry for each generation of Azzurri.

Macron: historic equipment supplier of the Squadra Azzurra

Founded in Bologna in 1971, Macron has equipped Italy rugby since 2016, marking a turning point in the visual and technical identity of the nazionale. The Italian brand established itself as a reference in European rugby by also dressing Glasgow Warriors, Scotland, Georgia and many Top 14 and Pro D2 clubs. Its expertise in recycled fibres and athletic cuts makes it a natural partner for federations seeking sustainable performance. Macron systematically integrates cultural details specific to each nation — an identity signature that transforms each jersey into a sporting and heritage manifesto.
