Macron has become the USA’s reference sportswear brand for Major League Rugby. The Italian company will supply game kits, technical apparel for training and clothing for representation and leisure to all eleven franchises that are part of the top rugby championship in North America. Macron will also dress the technical staff and all the referees during the season, which runs from March to August. Macron succeeds another Italian company when Kappa is leaving.
Macron has more and more business in the US; the last sponsorship deal was with USA Rugby.
Major League Rugby, which brings together teams from the United States and Canada, became a reality in the US in the autumn of 2016 when a professional 15-a-side rugby championship was established. The first teams that wanted to start a professional league affiliated themselves to it. 21st April 2018 was the day the first inaugural match took place, and over the years, the number of teams has grown to eleven. Six seasons have been played so far, and the current title holders of the MLR are the New England Free Jacks from Boston.
“We are delighted for this important partnership because it allows us to make available to the MLR all our experience in a discipline in which we have been the leading brand at an international level for several years now. - said Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron.
