The new Hornets strip from Canterbury was worn for the first time last Sunday. Everyone we spoke to said it was "brilliant". The club shop has the kit in stock and it would make an ideal Christmas present. The team photograph(in a larger version) is now available from the Rochdale Observer (quote picture number 48162-R)
