Huddersfield home kit 19/20
This has been announced on their official website. Could still be a marketing trick by Paddy Power but if it is Huddersfield are playing along.

That must just be a joke/marketing thing surely, if not it is the worst kit I've ever seen.
Re: Huddersfield home kit 19/20
You've got to love PP marketing dept. One of the best around.
Re: Huddersfield home kit 19/20
Shame it's a joke. I thought it looked good. The first 'sash' shirt. I bet the away version is even better. :thumbup:

I saw a mocked up version of the way kit. It was pink with the words 'Hen Party' written on the sash .

It's not that it looks bad, it does, but that they are now Paddy Power FC instead of Huddersfield Town. Fortunately, there are regulations which prohibit such an offensive size of sponsor logo and so it will all just be an advertising campaign which raises money for a small, local charity*.
*large gambling company.
Re: Huddersfield home kit 19/20
Huddersfield have been invited by EFL to provide their observations as to how this strip has apparently contravened the rules about shirt advertising /sponsorship
And to explain why the team wore them in a friendly the other night
Re: Huddersfield home kit 19/20
Probably will only be worn for a pre-season friendly or two as an advertising stunt. Can't see this being a permanent thing.
Re: Huddersfield home kit 19/20
The amount of advertising of gambling companies in football now is obscene. It definitely needs to be more heavily regulated.
Every single ad break at half time is for a gambling company.

It's a joke. The FA have the cheek the criticise it when they had an official gambling partner (as did the EFL). That's stopped now, thankfully but it's so deeply ingrained it'll take a hell of lot to reverse it.

Always pitched as being a "lad" thing to do as well, encourages teenagers to do it. I've got nothing against gambling but it's reached such an absurd point now.

You're watching football and don't bet? What are you? Some sort of freak? Put £10 on this bet NOW!
Re: Huddersfield home kit 19/20
The actual new kit has now been released and of course it's without a sponsor. A proper old fashioned look.

Looks much better with no sponsor. Do we think it was always a marketing "prank" or is it backtracking?

It's PP. It was always going to be a stunt.
