There are a number of things you can rely on when it comes to the nation of Italy. Top quality pasta, mopeds in metropolitan areas, and beautiful jerseys for their sports teams.
Whether it be football or rugby, down the years many have admired the Italian jerseys from afar, be they made by Kappa, Adidas, Lotto, or anyone else who has had a go.
That said, when it was announced that Italy's rugby jerseys for the 2017/18 season would be made by Macron, some were concerned given the divisive designs used for Scotland in recent times.
Well, now that the images of Italy's new home and away jerseys have surfaced, we're happy to report that Macron knocked it out of the park and will release two simple, yet beautiful rugby jerseys for Conor O'Shea's men.
Reddit user Benetton Treviso posted the images to the Rugby Union subreddit, and we have to say we're big fans of them.
Bellissimo.
Credit where it's due, those are an improvement on the Adidas jerseys (which weren't too bad to begin with) and while there is not much to them in terms of design, that's exactly what makes them stand out.
The gold trim on the sleeves is a nice touch too.
