Hornets unveil ICON Sports as new kit and teamwear provider

Rochdale Hornets have unveiled ICON Sports as their new kit and teamwear provider on a two-year deal ahead of the 2025 season.

One of the UK’s leading custom teamwear specialists, ICON Sports work with clubs from across a range of popular sports, including football, cricket, ice hockey and, of course, rugby league. 

With years of experience, Rochdale-based manufacturer ICON have built a solid reputation as UK specialists when it comes to custom sportswear and bespoke clothing.

Ahead of the new season, the club have been working closely with ICON - who are based in Rochdale, just two miles from the Crown Oil Arena - to produce kits which provide a stylish and modern design, while also paying homage to the town’s culture and heritage. 

The club’s 2025 designs will be unveiled to supporters at our upcoming kit launch event. Further details relating to the event will be confirmed in due course.

Rochdale Hornets general manager Matt Rigby said: “We are delighted that ICON Sports will be partnering with us as the new kit and teamwear provider. 

This is a fantastic step for the club. As a local company, they truly understand our community and the values that drive us. 

“This partnership aligns perfectly with our ‘Rochdale First’ commitment, supporting local businesses and fostering a strong connection with our fans. 

“We’re excited to work with ICON to bring our supporters high-quality clothing that represents both our history and our ambitions for the future.”
