The official 2020-2021 Scottish Rugby Travel, Training and Leisure Collection from Macron was released in-store and online on Friday 21st of August 2020.
For 2020/21, Scotland adopt a familiar look for the home shirt, with navy blue shirt, white collar, white and gold trim, white shorts and navy socks, while the alternate shirt reverts back to white, with the same gold trim as the home shirt.. The shorts are navy blue, with white and gold panels.
Founded in 1873, the Scottish Rugby Union is the second oldest rugby union in the world. Scotland played in the first-ever international match at Raeburn Place in Edinburgh, a game in which they beat England 1-0 on the 27th March 1871.
Now based at BT Murrayfield in Edinburgh, the Scottish national side annually competes in the Six Nations – a competition which they have won 15 times throughout its various incarnations. The most recent of these was back in 1999, the last ever Five Nations Championship.
Along with the Six Nations itself, Scotland also plays for 4 other trophies during the Six Nations; the Triple Crown (awarded to Scotland, England, Ireland or Wales if they beat all other Home Nations); Calcutta Cup (vs England); Centenary Quaich (vs Ireland); and the Auld Alliance Trophy (vs France).
Scotland's Guinness 2020 6 Nations Fixtures
In 2020 Scotland competed in the Guinness Six Nations. The fixtures this year feature two home games and three away. The Scottish side, under head coach Gregor Townsend, will be hoping for an improved and more consistent performance on last year.
Unfortunately, the final round of the 2020 Six Nations was postponed due to the global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. This fixture versus Wales in Cardiff was postponed at the last minute with thousands of fans having already travelled to Cardiff. Thankfully this game along with the other remaining games of the tournament have now been re-scheduled for the weekends of the 24th & 31st of October. Wales v Scotland will take place on the 31st of October with the venue yet to be confirmed. As the Principality Stadium is still in use as an NHS Nightingale Hospital bringing extra capacity to the health service, the match may be played behind closed doors or if fans are allowed in limited numbers rumours are circulating that Wembley, Twickenham or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be options.

This will still be a vital year for Gregor's young players as selection for the British & Irish Lions Tour in 2021 is up for grabs for the very best performing players. Also, the road to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France will be in the back of the mind for any aspiring player.
Scotland has taken part in every edition of the Rugby World Cup since it’s inception in 1987, with a best-placed finish of fourth back in 1991. In the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the Scots lined up in Pool A, alongside Ireland, Japan, Russia and Samoa. A disappointing loss against Ireland kicked off their campaign and a final-round loss to the magnificent hosts, Japan, saw Scotland exit at the pool stage for only the second time in their history at the tournament. However, finishing in third place gains Scotland automatic qualification for the 2023 Rugby World Cup which will be taking place in France.
Since 2013, Italian sports brand Macron has been official producers of the Scotland Rugby shirt, taking over from Canterbury, with telecommunications giant BT the latest Scotland rugby shirt and leisurewear sponsor.
The Scotland home 2019 Rugby World Cup kit was navy blue with Scottish Rugby Tartan featuring on the shoulder panels and collar, with navy shorts and white socks. The shorts also feature tartan panels to the side, along with a white Scottish Rugby crest, and the new Macron 'hero' logo. The '6 Nations' shirt came out at the same time, it is the same design but loses the RWC 2019 badge and gains the logo of sponsor BT across the chest.
