Italy's rugby teams will debut special scarlet kits for their Six Nations matches against France, commemorating Giuseppe Garibaldi and his 19th-century unification campaigns. The "Garibaldi Red" jersey represents the jackets worn by Garibaldi's soldiers and embodies values of heroism that the Italian athletes aim to display on the pitch.
The new kits were unveiled at Quarto dei Mille near Genoa, where Garibaldi launched the "Expedition of the Thousand" in 1860. Both Italy's men's and women's national teams will wear these special jerseys as they face France during their Six Nations campaign, continuing the tradition of contesting the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy.
