Scotland Jerseys, the Thistle XV

First match in 1871, Grand Slams and Calcutta Cup

On 27th March 1871, at Raeburn Place in Edinburgh, Scotland won the first international match in history, against England. The Thistle XV achieved the Grand Slam in 1925, 1984, and 1990, with the last one snatched in a final against England at Murrayfield, won thirteen to seven after the slow and determined entry of David Sole and his teammates. Since 1879, the two nations have contested the Calcutta Cup, the oldest trophy in international rugby, and Scotland also faces Wales for the Doddie Weir Cup, in tribute to its former second row.

Navy blue, the thistle and Murrayfield

The home jersey is navy blue, the traditional colour of Scotland, emblazoned with the thistle, the country's emblematic flower. The team plays at Murrayfield, in Edinburgh, the largest stadium in Scotland, where the crowd sings Flower of Scotland before each match, often a cappella. The away jersey changes colour depending on the models, from white to shades inspired by heather moors. Macron, the supplier for the Scottish federation, has already incorporated tartan patterns into several jerseys, at the collar or in the fabric weave, to ground the outfit in the culture of the country.

Home or away: choose your Thistle XV jersey

The home navy blue jersey is the natural choice for Murrayfield and the Tournament trips: it's the outfit that supporters recognise from afar. The away jersey, lighter in colour, stands out more and appeals to those who already own the home version. The two feature a fitted cut without being tight in the supporters’ version, with breathable fabric that dries quickly, handy under the Edinburgh downpours. You choose based on your chest size, and those with broader builds may sometimes prefer the next size up for shoulder comfort.
