This is super, man

Now if their opponents could make a Batman themed jersey, that’d be great.

The Melbourne Rebels will wear a Superman themed jersey, emblazoned with the comic book crusader’s logo, for their Round 18 game against the Western Force. Why? Well, why the hell not?

The Australian Super 15 side unveiled the special kit this weekend, and although the Superman logo is noticeably photo-shopped, you get the idea.

Will this new kit inspire the Rebels? Giving them superhuman strength, the ability to fly and shoot lasers from their eyes? Will it help them destroy their foes and save the world? And, most importantly, does it come with a trendy red cape?

The answer to all those questions is, of course, no.
