Read what I said before... It's MY opinion .. we all have a moral line that's the point. I'm a gambler.. I'm fine with paddy power sponsoring town . But that's my moral line .
The fobts made marginal betting shop profitable despite the ease and rise of internet gambling.. The govt intervention has effectively put 2-3 thousand betting shops at risk.. And over 10000 jobs at risk.. Not only that.. Betting shops are a meeting point.. A social experience for thousands of punters up and down the country.. They pop in every day..talk to their mates..have a flutter on the geegees. This will be lost in hundreds of locations across the country.. Its already happened in huddersfield.. All the villages have lost their bookies..
Fold it in half longways twice, so you end up with something 29cm x 5cm. Do this with two pieces of paper so you have roughly 58cm x 5cm.
Create a sash from your waist band towards your shoulder, taking note of where the final letter of Paddy Power finishes on the Town shirts, you’ll have approx 10cm of overhang.
48cm x 5cm = <250cm = less than the maximum allowed size. Maybe the lettering is 5.2cm on a 48cm diagonal which would take it right to the limit. (A 5cm font is bigger than it sounds, fold the paper and you’ll see)
It’s the real kit...the club will supply a sample to the FA who will be satisfied and we’ll hear no more of it.

I'm aware that there have been job losses through limitations on FOBTs. There would be job losses to heroin dealers were smack to be legalised. Don't kid yourself billy hill and his mates gave a shit about jobs . It was all about shareholder profit gained exclusively from misery and the cleaning of drug money.. the village shops had already closed before legislation by the way .. . The shops that will close tend to.be the multiple ones created to take advantage of the fobts, not ones that were there back in the day for hoss racing .. I'm a gambler and I like bookies. But when I walked through Glasgow last year and I could see 12 bookies from a fixed point I though " aye aye " ..
I still have no clue about if this is real or not. If its fake how long are we dragging this out for? Its available Saturday? So maybe a real shirt reveal tomorrow with a new player? I also don't get why the megastore twitter hasn't pushed it, luke Cowan has gone very quiet, SJ has disappeared up his own arse (again) and you can't actually pre order?
If it's a prank it's dragging on and making a mockery of us.
If it's real then whatever but let's have some clarity please. I could cope with sash aspect to be honest, I don't like though how big it is. It takes away the identity of Huddersfield Town as all you can see is huge sponsors writing

Hit the nail on the head there Chips.
The only bookies that will be closing are the ones that were aggressively targeting addicts and only there for the point of cramming as many fobts in a town/city centre as possible.
The gambling industry is morally bankrupt, anyone likening a bookmakers to a pub is completely misguided. Don’t know many pubs where you could go blow five grand in an hour without a question being asked.

It’s 100% real, but only if you believe in a world where Bradford City would name one of their stands “The Mamma Mia Stand”.
It's obviously a PR stunt and it was funny, but the best part of the joke is the end and more importantly the timing of it. That's what we've made a mess of now, it's dragged on way too long.
I hope they've got something special planned to end it that makes it clear it was always a joke and not that we'd been forced to change the shirt by someone like the FA. It's now gone from being a good joke, to being a bit daft and now getting stupider with every minute that passes.

What hard facts do you have that this is 100% real?
HTSA issue a ‘list of demands’ and Northwich troll us. It’s now embarrassing from every angle.
The time in which it was reasonable to provide clarity and put the joke to bed has now elapsed.
I ain’t even gunna read the list of demands as Northwich jumping on the publicity bandwagon/trolling us is too much, I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight now.
Also the as yet unshown video...(although this could be part of the whole “prank” I suppose, if there was one, which there isn’t) tinyurl.com/cbcg2xz
But mainly...why would it be a joke, if it was to to be a fake kit announcement they’d have done something amusing.
It’s a sponsor logo on a kit, and as far as I can tell using basic maths, seems to meet the guidelines...and we’ve played in it, why on earth would anyone think it was fake?

My hope is that we announce a marquee signing tomorrow with a video where he's ripping the current sponsor sash off the shirt to reveal the actual shirt, with the club then announcing that they will be selling both the joke and real shirts from Saturday, with all proceeds from the joke shirt going to a charity.
Umbro always do these nice reveal images when kit comes out.
They will do one for ours on saturday.
As nickhudd has said its obvious! look at these pics then look at the ones for our shirt! The pics for our shorts and socks are in a similar style as the rest of the umbro releases, however the pics of the shirt are completely different. New shirt will be released Saturday and expect it will be pretty good based on other umbro ones.
