Super Hero jerseys unveiled
South Africa’s top players – wearing their new Marvel-inspired jerseys – will be on display at the Cape Town Stadium on February 3.
It will be the first public appearance of the Marvel makeover of SA’s Super Rugby teams.
The Lions will be dressed in the familiar webbed suit of Spider-Man; the Sharks will adopt the Black Panther look; the Stormers will be looking to hammer their opponents in the colours of Thor and the Bulls will shield all attacks thrown their way as Captain America.
The jerseys will be exclusively worn in most South African derbies.
The teams will wear in their usual jerseys for matches against international opposition.
