Rugby T-shirt World Cup 2027 Macron raglan green

Technical specifications

Care instructions

Wash at 30°C maximum, turning the T-shirt inside out to protect the silicone print. Do not use fabric softener, which could affect logo adhesion. Air drying is recommended; if using a tumble dryer, use a delicate low-temperature programme. Iron at moderate temperature, avoiding any direct contact of the iron with printed areas — place a thin cloth between the iron and the design, or iron only on the reverse side.

Design

FK131 Cotton Poly 60/40 jersey knit at 200 g/m² balances tactile comfort and sturdiness — cotton fibres provide breathability and softness against the skin, while polyester ensures resistance to deformation and speeds drying after washing. Raglan sleeve construction: the diagonal seam running from the neck to the underarm removes the usual friction point at the top of the shoulder, allowing ample arm movement without fabric tension — a sporty silhouette inherited from sailor smocks and popularised by sportswear since the 1950s. The collar rib is knitted in orange to create a colour echo with the silicone-screen-printed logos, a technique that deposits a thin layer of soft, elastic material directly onto the fabric — better washing durability than classic flocking, without stiffness or cracking. The colour palette — dark emerald green and bright orange — echoes the visual identity tones of the 2027 Rugby World Cup Australia, for a piece immediately recognisable as an official product of the event.

Rugby World Cup Australia 2027

The 2027 Rugby World Cup will take place in Australia from 1 October to 13 November 2027. The third edition hosted by Australia after 1987 and 2003, it will bring together twenty teams across the Australian territory — iconic stadiums in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on the programme. The event will also mark the fortieth anniversary of the first Rugby World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand in 1987, whose final crowned the All Blacks at Eden Park in Auckland. Macron, official supplier to several European national federations and a longstanding rugby partner, signs the retail collection of this 2027 edition with a range of supporter products aimed at the general public.

Brand

Macron, founded in Italy in 1971, established itself as a technical supplier in European rugby through a performance- and customisation-oriented positioning — sponsoring national federations (Scotland, Italy, Georgia), major Top 14 clubs and the United Rugby Championship. The Bologna-based brand develops retail ranges alongside its pro collections, translating the visual codes of major international competitions into cuts and materials designed for supporters' everyday life. This "from stadium to street" approach is reflected in the use of mixed cotton-polyester knits at intermediate weights (180–220 g/m²), offering a compromise between casual comfort and durability, and in careful finishes (embroidery, silicone prints) that ensure long-term legibility of the logos.
