Don't you think that umbro are fully aware of the rules? Yes but don't you think before making a couple of 1000 shirts the club, who are ultimately responsible, should have checked this out? Good god!!!

www.bbc.com/sport/football/49026053So if the sash kit is genuine we haven't bothered checking first with the football authorities whether it complies with the relevant regulations? It's all a bit tin pot. I think "tin pot" is about the right way of describing what's happening. I'm presuming the "proper" shirt will be revealed at some stage but in the meantime the whole operation seems rather amateurish and a bit embarrassing. Some people think it's a good joke and others are furious but, and it's only my view obviously, the whole thing has done little for the dignity and stature of our club. Yes, it may all be a wind-up, and yes - I initially found it mildly amusing - certainly not hilarious - but we don't need to sell season tickets apparently and the Paddy Power "video" was good but enough, so why put out such an amateur prank as this ? We don't need the publicity surely and I can just see the Linekers, Shearers,Murphys and others using the whole episode to patronise the club yet again. For goodness sake we gave them more than enough ammunition last season... For me, there are lots of other ways of showing that the club/the supporters have a sense of humour - this was just a bit ill-judged.

It's all a bit tin pot. If they’ve made a kit which contravenes what the league rules state then it’s absolutely amateur - people do this for a living and they’ve not thought to even check Two days running now the club has been the butt of jokes, yesterday it was Paddy Power taking the piss out of the club being utterly none descript and today our new kit has been top trending nationally due to everyone laughing at how bad it looks What are the club doing to the wider brand here? This may get good publicity for Paddy Power but why say would you want your accountancy firm to be associated as a sponsor to a supposed no mark club wearing a kit which is a national joke... because like it or not that’s how the Huddersfield brand has been portrayed the last 36 hours They’ve had an absolute ‘mare here ... even if it is a stunt it’s a shocker because I doubt many in the media are going to report the stunt 5 days after the event. We want viral as a joke and that’s what will be remembered

Lineker has forgotten who we are already and this shirt will be forgotten by next week.

You never know - if the Paddy Power experience works we might get to partner with another Irish company that puts honesty, customer care, social responsibility at the top of its agenda - Ryanair! All kick offs will be late, players picking their own positions based on when they turn up, and playing at a stadium fairly close to the mac.

Some people are so far up their own asses it’s embarrassing.
The stature of the club is totally unaffected by this PR stunt. It created a lot of buzz today. No one outside of Town fans ever cares about our kit but today was different.
I do hope that assuming that it’s not the final kit, and I’m pretty sure it can’t be, that we now unveil the real one quickly as as it’s supposed to go on sale soon so I guess they will have to.

Tremendous work.
We've turned into the football club equivalent of that group of lads in the pub who think that everyone else loves their loud, shit banter when, actually, everyone really hopes that someone will glass them all just to get them to shut the fuck up.

Anyone remember Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa? No? Well all I can say is, lesson number 1) everyone will have forgotten by November, any ridicule will be short lived in comparison to wearing it for an entire season. And lesson 2) aesthetically this could be one hell of a lot worse. Smarter, but worse - more black tie than hen do. www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/cultural-leonesa.png

This is the best post of the day by some distance. You should get an award or maybe a commemorative sash, appropriately sized, would be more appropriate. Bravo 👏 PS You should really disclose you work for our sponsors, transparency and all that. Bit naughty not to.

The over-reaction is funnier than the original gag. Irony.
It can't be the final kit and anyone who knows anything about marketing will tell you it can only be positive.
No-one has died. We haven't sold Schindler for £2.50. Leeds haven't been promoted to the prem. It could be worse.
It would seem the worst that will come out of this is that we'll be percieved as a club who's fans don't have a great sense of humour or proportion.

New Shirt Launch time is always brilliant for divided opinions on here, This one has surpassed all of the others. Brilliant stuff and I’ll admit I was initially taken in by the stunt.

Surely if the idea was publicity, today was the perfect day to reveal the real kit whilst people still had it on their minds?

I’ve loved this today. Really top Bantz by PP and Town. Lots of exposure, lots of laughs. Brilliant. BUT Taking it forward into tomorrow or the following day might be taking the joke too far. The FA announcement could be part of it all. Who knows? It could start to look like this kit was the real deal, but the club naively forgot about the rules and if it would be allowed. We release the proper kit, and some may think we have had to do a quick alteration to a standard size 250cm squared Pannel to adhere to the rules. It could all start to look amateur night. Would have worked brilliantly if they came out at half time in the proper kit. Tomorrow or whenever maybe not so. Just a thought.

It obviously isn’t real the image of Hogg wearing it this morning isn’t ironed on whereas tonight it was some tacky ironed on strip with creases on😂 it wasn’t even in line with all the others either🤦🏻♂️

Laugh all you want, but we've just given a massive boost to the publicity arm of one business within an industry that in many respects is a bit of a cancer on society & genuinely does not give a flying fuck about you or I...
OPE had the same motives, but they were out of sight, out of mind for many.
Of course gambling is about the individual, but on a lesser scale how many on here are influenced by the marketing for their weekly shop & you throw branded goods in your trolley instead of a perfectly adequate own brand. It's all relative and why advertising/marketing/media etc. is everywhere you look, we're nowt but pawns in the game...
