It’s all go today in Edinburgh.

Scottish Rugby has today announced it has applied for planning permission to install a new playing venue in the grounds of BT Murrayfield, which will have a capacity of up to 7,800. The development is intended to be the new home of Edinburgh Rugby and would be located on a section of land currently used as training pitches.

Edinburgh will play its home matches on the international pitch at BT Murrayfield for the coming 2018/19 season, with the aim of commencing the 2019/20 campaign in the new purpose-built venue.

And now the Scottish side have also revealed they have changed their club crest.

“The club’s name remains Edinburgh – ensuring Scotland’s capital city remains at the heart of everything – but from today, a new club badge will come into effect alongside colours that were first adorned by the world-famous players that represented the city’s district side.” a statement read.

Head Coach Richard Cockerill today welcomed the club’s striking new identity:

“We have to have a strong identity and hopefully this is the start of what this club is going to be about – not only on the field, but off it as well. We have to build an identity that everyone can buy into – whether that’s supporters, how we play with the players we bring in, and how we train and behave.

“We’ve chosen a colour that’s traditional, that goes back to the heritage of the team, and I’m sure our supporters can identify with that, young and old. This is what Edinburgh looks like as a rugby team and hopefully that translates into what happens on the field.”
