Re: And people thought ours was bad...
Wow.......that IS a shocker!!
Re: And people thought ours was bad...
Just had a glance at their forum. It seems a lot of them think its a wind up, they are trending at 2 and 3 on twitter someone said so "its working".
They also quote some rules and regulations about sponsorship size that would mean it cant be real and they expect the real one to be announced tonight.
But none of them REALLY know!

It must be a gag. No one in their right mind would wear that, let alone play football in it.

Got to to be a windup, can't see the players being happy to run around in a shirt like that and certainly can't see any fans buying it!

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
The "sash" isn't part of the sponsor (they'd argue).
Surely the lettering falls into the area size?

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Thinking about it 250 square centimetres isn’t really that big.
It’s only a 25x10 cm block
How big is our sponsor?
I’ve not seen it “live” but it appears bigger than that

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Clearly a wind up. If you were aloud sponsoring like that there would be a load of cash strapped clubs doing it. Hudds have got money and a decent board. It’s a wind up

This one never fell afoul of the rules, I'd imagine you could probably say the sponsor is only the lettering and there can't be much of a difference between the two...

The FA have contacted them for a breach of their kit rules
Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Local news covered it tonight. A lot of supporters are not happy. I get the feeling it could be all change by the weekend, I don't know that for sure, just the current controversy.
Re: HTFC - Home Kit
HTFC have just announced that the new kit has no sponsor logo on it

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
This is the new Huddersfield shirt which the club has reported as being part of Paddy Power’s new ‘Save Our Shirt’ campaign; an initiative that is backing a move towards unbranded football kits, effectively returning the shirt back to the fans.

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
I wonder how much PP paid for that stunt and how this compares to the income they could have received for sponsorship?
They should have gone one further and announced they were changing to PP colours.

Paddy Power played a blinder with this move
They got more publicity than just sponsoring the kit would have done and also come out the good guys by having an unbranded kit that looks very nice.

Was obvious all along it was just Paddy Power marketing, they are brilliant at it. As stated above, genius by them, again.
Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Once this has died down I wonder how Paddy Power will manage to advertise in football?

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Probably go to a few lower league teams which will not cost them much and sponsor them to have no sponsor on the kits.Spijed wrote:Once this has died down I wonder how Paddy Power will manage to advertise in football?
Huddersfield will have been their “big entrance” into the “Save our shirt” world.
Re: HTFC - Home Kit
They certainly have played a blinder there, although clearly the fuss surrounding this is a one time thing, they can't pull the same stunt again. I also assume that they're paying below the going rate for championship sponsorship, although Huddersfield may well make up the shortfall in increased shirt sales.

Where the amounts are much smaller in the Championship, I can't see any clubs in the Premier league turning down the sums quoted (£7.5 million for us) to make a point and have a plain shirt.

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
I'd imagine that Paddy Power will have branding around the stadium and being a 'principle partner'. Both parties will have make it up for not having a shirt sponsor.
