It provides great publicity for both businesses; Town and PP It's funny. I saw it and openly said 'holy fuck'. My wife immediately thought someone had died. Then immediately I thought 'hang on a second....'. Why can't we like it, it's a good wind up and the fact there's 15 pages discussing it already shows it's a great marketing stunt. this will have a positive impact on sales of the real shirt. Its pissed off the ACTUAL fanbase, i'd say thats worse PR than folk who dont support us hearing our name (which they already have after 2 years of PL football) As i've said in match thread....i thought it was just a bit shite when it was on twitter, but to actually wear it is a bit of a joke. It's almost insulting to our players (who we should be trying to keep happy) and to be honest so is it to Rochdale's....for us to be pulling a 'stunt' when we are supposed to be preparing Anyone who says "any publicity is good publicity" doesnt know what they are talking about becasue its simply not true. Just look at blackburn with the Venky's chicken, that went viral and people still think they are a joke to this day (including pro players) Are you 12? The publicity comes from the talk abs chatter about the kit, which end in most realising they were duped/guessed right.

I might only bloody have gone and called it! No, that was just as visible on the Hogg promo photo this morning. Doesn’t look like that in the pic of players shirts in the dressing room

Ha ha one minute am convinced it’s a stunt then next minute am convinced it’s our real shirt for the season then convinced again it’s a stunt. Then I can’t decide which would be worse - that it is a prank in an (important?) practice match or if it is gonna be the real shirt? Then am coming round thinking that actually it’s growing on me and I quite like it! HEELLLLPPPP am in turmoil here - anybody else? 🤪🤣😭☹️

I like a joke and I like paddy powers craic. However this is a massive misjudgement from Sean Jarvis to let it run on this long and wind up an already agitated fan base, some are baying for blood on twitter

I suspect that Town's twitter account is down due to it being readied for the actual shirt launch

Also “the already agitated fanbase”, really? I, for one, am looking forward to the season.

SJ isn't a foolish chap and this isn't something that has just been cobbled together in the last 24 hrs. It's a strategy and he and his team will have considered all angles, from the furious fans to the amused fans, from the fans that believe it to the fans they see right through it. Most importantly he'll recognise that massive talk and social media hysteria generated by this should result in a bloody good run of sales for the new shirt.

Well done, you can have Jarvis's job now you've produced such an overwhelmingly factual and balanced appraisal of the mans tenure as Commercial Director.

Has he considered the fact he needs sacking? If we went by this forum, the owner and all the employees would be sacked. Some people feel entitled to boo and nit pick because they've bought their cheap season tickets. For me that is not what being a SUPPORTER is about.

Some will love it, some will hate it, some will tweet their views (and others will tweet the views of all of us 😂 ).

They'll no doubt continue to fit when they realise they've been duped.
