Edinburgh Rugby Managing Director Jonny Petrie said: "It's paramount that players not only feel comfortable in but are proud to wear their match kit and I think this fits the bill on all fronts.
"The club has worked closely with Macron on the fabric and design of our 2015/16 strip and we're all looking forward to seeing both the home and away versions in action at our pre-season friendlies against Romania in Melrose and Ulster at Goldenacre later this month."
Made of poly and Elastan fabric, the home jersey's stripe design is divided by chainmail texture. The shorts have red lateral inserts with grey tape outlining
Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, said: "We are proud to sponsor Edinburgh Rugby and, once again, the synergy created between our design team and club management has allowed us to combine the tradition of Edinburgh with the innovation of Macron in a single product. We are confident of having created a range of products that all supporters will appreciate."
Supporters will be able to watch the kit - and squad - in action later this week as Edinburgh take on Romania at the Greenyards in Melrose (Friday 21 August k/o 6.30pm) and Ulster at Goldenacre, home of Heriots RC (Friday 28 August k/o 6.30pm), with both home and away strips on show, respectively.
Edinburgh Rugby centurion back row Roddy Grant said: "I'm really pleased with the new design of the jersey. We all think it looks great and is the perfect design for the black'n'red army of Edinburgh.
"As always, the Macron products are made with performance in mind so we feel confident wearing it."
