[FIRST LOOK] SA superhero rugby jerseys unveiled
Updated | By Marius van der Walt
SA Rugby has unveiled new Super Rugby jerseys inspired by Marvel’s Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and Captain America.

The country’s four local teams will wear the jerseys for the first time during a double-header on February 3 at Cape Town Stadium on what has been dubbed #SuperHeroSunday.
“The jersey designs have each been meticulously crafted to reflect the superheroes the South African teams will represent while also staying true to each team’s already iconic colour identity,” SA Rugby said in a statement.

“The Emirates Lions will be dressed in the familiar webbed suit of Spider-Man; the Cell C Sharks will adopt the Black Panther look; the DHL Stormers will be looking to hammer their opponents in the colours of Thor; and the Vodacom 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.
Apart from wearing them on #SuperHeroSunday, the four South African teams will also don the new-look jerseys during other local derbies throughout the Super Rugby season.
