The new ‘Home’ shirt of the German XV is a mix of black and anthracite grey. The black background is enhanced on the front by dye-sub horizontal stripes in anthracite grey which in turn feature red and gold details, a colour combination echoed on the edge of sleeves. The shirt has a V neck and the inside backneck is customised with the colours of the German flag and the logo of Deutscher Rugby-Verband, the Federation of which Macron has been technical partner since 2018, kitting out all the men’s and women’s national teams. The Macron Hero is embroidered in gold on the right breast, with the crest of the national team on the left. The German flag is embroidered on the back of the collar and the bottom of the shirt is embossed in grey with the phrase WIR LIEBEN RUGBY! (We love rugby!). The home kit is completed by black shorts and black socks with two red and gold stripes at the top.
The new match kits of the German national rugby team have a Muscle Fit and the fabrics specifically used are Armevo with panels in Boditex, materials which as well as being lightweight and breathable, are also extremely hard-wearing.
