I know, but there are guidelines on marketing which ban misleading adverts likely to deceive. This is definitely the case B2B marketing anyway, no idea if it applies to consumer adverts? It says new home shirt on sale Saturday, ho is that misleading. Any reasonable person who saw something saying home shirts on sale alongside a picture of some footballers wearing a new top that looks like a football kit, would expect that shirt to be sold. ...especially as all the other items in the ribbon contain similar words alongside pictures of the actual item being worn or displayed.

Think of the publicity if someone sued - and for a peanuts payout

Heard from a source that the kit is being worn tonight, this inst the kit for next season but a ploy to carry on with the PR stunt.
There will be several shirts handed out tonight at Rochdale to fans also.

Quite confident they'll be in the proper version tonight and it will be revealed before the match.

Well it certainly got us in the news. Just did a DuckDuckGo search on Huddersfield and the first suggested search was all about the new kit.
I do hope it its not the real thing they don't push this too far, some people are likely to lose their minds and some already have.

The "leaked" kit is fake. The badge is way too far over to the left shoulder. The sash kit is real in a sense of hogg is actually wearing that shirt. There is no way we have money to be spending on that quality of a cg job. Someone was questioning where his £200m has gone....

They wore a similar crappy shirt some seasons ago. All the players looked as if they were taking part in a pageant.

Think of the publicity if someone sued - and for a peanuts payout An individual wouldn’t sue because they have no material loss to be compensated for. The fines that can be dished out for trading standards breaches are UNLIMITED, and can carry sanctions that place suspended prison sentences on individuals responsible. Although most likely would just get a telling off if such a false advertisement was investigated, given its a bit of fun rather than a trademark infringement or anything else designed to divert money away from another IP owner or extract cash out of unwitting customers etc.

If this is the punchline, what is the joke? ... and this year's MR Paddy Power is ... Huddersfield Town.
It must be a strategic ploy. Opposition players and fans will be laughing so much they will lose concentration and allow big Steve Mounie to score a hat trick with back post tap-ins.
Cannot wait now for the Sky coverage of the opening match against Derby. How on earth will the commentators and pundits keep a straight face.
What is the record for the lowest number of home shirt sales in the Football League? Town set to break it.

Even better.

It’s not for sale in the online mega store. Or to pre-order and adds to the feeling it’s a one-off. Apologies if already mentioned. My eyes hurt from multiple meltdown threads.

THIS IS THE GENUINE SHIRT like it or not Well in spite of what the majority seem to think, including my ever so clever son who is generally very astute when it comes to these matters, I can not shake the feeling that you are correct, and this is not a joke, but the genuine article. My slim hope is that I am rarely right about these things and am worrying needlessly.

Heard from a source that the kit is being worn tonight, this inst the kit for next season but a ploy to carry on with the PR stunt. There will be several shirts handed out tonight at Rochdale to fans also. Do the FAs rules on Sponsorship size not matter for friendlies? Or would PaddyPower be prepared to take the hit and get a one off fine for the exposure?

Umbro rather tellingly haven't said anything - perhaps because they don't appreciate putting in a load of work to have the kit release overshadowed by an undergraduate prank.
