Hornets unveil one-off kit for 2025 Superhero Day

Rochdale Hornets have unveiled a special, one-off kit which will be worn when they host Whitehaven in the club’s second annual Superhero Day fixture on Sunday 3 August.

The superhero-themed kit is now available to pre-order via the club’s official kit supplier ICON Sports.

Superhero Day is a new themed event for rugby league, and the Hornets will embrace the superhero world in and around the stadium leading up to the match, with plenty of initiatives for the whole family to enjoy. 

Supporters are encouraged to embrace the day and get involved, with prizes to be awarded for the best fancy dress on display at the Crown Oil Arena.

The Hornets will also be holding superhero-themed activities on the day of the game in the Smith Metals Family Stand, which contains a bar, food kiosk and a pop-up Hooper’s Hive.

Under 16s can take advantage of free admission to the Round 16 fixture, while adult tickets are priced at just £10.

After the fixture itself, a Bingo Night and Play Your Cards Right, hosted by the club, will be held at the stadium.
