MORAY Rugby Club hope they will be dressed for success this season after securing a new sponsorship deal with Gordon and MacPhail.
The new look playing kit was unveiled by club president Graham Stables and David Urquhart, joint managing director of the wine and spirits firm.
The launch took place last weekend on the Plainstones in Elgin as part of a Rugby World Cup themed food and drink festival.
The team got off to a winning start in their new kit with a victory over Ross Sutherland at Morriston in the afternoon in an RBS Caledonia Regional League Division Two North game.
The new kit features Gordon & MacPhail’s distinctive stag’s head logo on the front of the shirt.
David Urquhart said: "Gordon & MacPhail first sponsored Moray Rugby Club’s kit in 2009 and we are looking forward to our continued association. For over 116 years we have been part of the local community – we wish Moray Rugby Club good luck on the pitch as they fly the flag for the area."
Graham Stables, president of Moray Rugby Club, added: "Our continued association with such a reputable and long-standing local company is fantastic news for our club. The new kit will give the team a real boost as we start this season’s campaign."
The food and drink event included a 6ft-tall inflatable rugby ball from the New Zealand Wine Growers Association and the Scottish Rugby Union also had a fun event for budding young rugby players.
