Last night, the HSELEC team had the pleasure of attending the official Rochdale Hornets kit launch for the upcoming season — and it was a fantastic evening celebrating both the club’s heritage and its future.
As official kit sponsor, we’re incredibly proud to be supporting Rochdale Hornets at such an exciting time in their journey. The event brought together players, supporters, sponsors and partners to unveil the new home and away kits, and the atmosphere reflected the confidence and momentum surrounding the club.
A Historic Moment for the Club
The launch follows a hugely significant season for Rochdale Hornets, who secured their first league title since 1919 last year — ending a 97-year wait for divisional honours. That achievement marked a major milestone in the club’s long and proud history and has created real optimism heading into the new campaign.
The 2026 home kit stays true to the Hornets’ traditional blue, red and white colours, while the away kit pays tribute to one of the club’s most memorable modern moments — their promotion final victory in Toulouse in 2016. Both kits reflect the identity, resilience and ambition that define the club.
Why This Partnership Matters to Us
At HSELEC, we believe strongly in supporting local sport, community clubs and grassroots success. Becoming the official kit sponsor of Rochdale Hornets isn’t just about branding — it’s about backing an organisation that represents dedication, teamwork and pride in the community it serves.
Being part of the club’s journey, especially as they build on recent success, is something we’re genuinely excited about. Partnerships like this align closely with our values and our commitment to investing in the areas and people we work alongside every day.
Looking Ahead to the Season
With a new season on the horizon, fresh kits unveiled and belief running high, there’s a real sense of anticipation around what’s to come. We’re proud to stand alongside Rochdale Hornets as they prepare for the challenges ahead and look forward to supporting them throughout the campaign.
We’d like to thank the club for hosting such a great evening and for welcoming us into the Hornets family. Here’s to an exciting season ahead — we’ll be right behind you all the way.
