New deal gives fans opportunity to design national team kit

Rugby followers are not usually renowned for having a cutting edge fashion sense, but Scotland supporters are being given the chance to change that reputation for the better by submitting designs for new strip for the national team.

The offer was made yesterday as the Scottish Rugby Union confirmed that it had signed the biggest single sponsorship deal in its history by agreeing a four-year kit supply deal, believed to be worth around £5m, with the Italian sportswear company Macron. The new arrangement replaces a long-standing deal with Canterbury of New Zealand and will come into force in July. It covers all Scotland's representative teams as well as the Edinburgh and Glasgow professional sides.
