The new home shirt has been revealed.
Will be available to buy from Saturday, and will be worn tonight at Rochdale.
My take -like the design but the "sash" style placement of the sponsor ruins it for me.
But - pleased to see Schindler and Hoggy on the pics...
Thoughts?
N.b. I am going to lock the "what will the kit be like?" thread now.

It's just a part of their laddy-bantz-wind-up, right? They'll release the proper kit at noon, right? RIGHT?

Bloody hell.
If the sponsor was horizontal then it is a decent shirt. Sash completely ruins it.

Surely a wind up, this is an extract from the FA handbook and their sponsor guidelines
"One single area not exceeding 250 square centimetres on the front of the shirt (see Fig 10, page 18);"

More top "bantz" from the lads, lads, lads at Paddy Power. FA rules are "One single area not exceeding 250 square centimetres on the front of the shirt." The real one will be revealed at the game tonight, I'd imagine.
Strap in folks, this is the kind of thing you're gonna have to get used to on our social media channels.

According to FA regulations, the name of the sponsor must not exceed a space of 200 square centimetres on the front of the shirt.
I hope its a joke. And if it is, it's a shit joke.

I was going to buy one, if only to show support and such, but no no no.
The sash approach is poor at best, and the size of the name makes it really poor (will refrain from the language as using in my head).
Real shame that.

I hope this is a wind up cause if not that is one of the worst football kits I've ever seen and we will be laughed out of every ground this season.

We're trending again. But not for good reason. My mate, who's a Norwich fan based in Berlin, text me within six minutes of the release!!

Bloody hell. If the sponsor was horizontal then it is a decent shirt. Sash completely ruins it. Agree 100%, sash with sponsor looks awful, also is it not too large anyway? Thought there were strict rules as to how big the sponsorship can be.

Must be a publicity stunt, get people talking about it, then bring out the proper one tonight. Yeah, that's it. Come 8pm tonight we'll all be signing SJ's praises: 'what a marvellous PR stunt that was, oh how DATM laughed! The boys look smashing too!'

I suppose it's what Paddypower call 'bantz' what the hell have we let ourselves in for here?

That is one of the worst football shirts I've ever seen. It's definitely the worst Town shirt and we've had some v.poor ones in the past. It actually looks like something an employee of Paddy Power would wear at a football match to promote the company outside the ground before the game. Maybe that's what they're going to be doing. I think PP have come up with the idea for a laugh and got away with it. . UTT
