Inspired by designs submitted by fans back in February, the final product draws on a range of influences and defines multiple generations of Scotland supporters. Stuart Gray, from Cove in the Borders, was selected as the ultimate winner, and Macron based the new kit around elements of his designs. He has had the chance to travel to Bologna to see Macron produce the new kit – have a look at his travel video here. A delighted Stuart said: 'The Scotland shirt is a significant piece of clothing for many people, so I’m blown away and incredibly proud to have had an influence in the design of this new piece of kit.’

The Scotland team will showcase the new navy blue white collared shirt for the first time in their game against Japan at Murrayfield on Saturday 9th November. Scotland and British & Irish Lions full-back, Stuart Hogg, said: 'I’m really looking forward to playing in the new shirt and I really like the traditional design that Macron and Stuart [Gray] have gone for. I remember when I was growing up seeing footage of Scotland’s greats playing in a navy shirt with white collar, so it’s going to be quite a thrill pulling this jersey on for the first time.’
