#SuperHeroSunday
- This is the first ever #SuperHeroSunday Double Header at the Cape Town Stadium, featuring all four Vodacom Super Rugby franchise teams on the same day at one venue.
- South Africa's top players will be wearing their new jerseys inspired by Marvel's Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and Captain America will run out at Cape Town Stadium on #SuperHeroSunday, 3 February, at the first public appearance of the Marvel makeover of SA's Vodacom Super Rugby teams.
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.
