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?
Which basic maths equation gives an answer of 600cm 2 = 250cm 2 ?🤔
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.
Has anyone considered that we probably didn't meet the original time frame to get the shirts and so this is a publicity stunt but also a delaying tactic?

Maybe you should read them before having a go.
Northwich trolling us was enough for me for one day. If I can’t sleep tonight with the trauma then I’ll have a look later on.

I think that now we look like a hen party, maybe when the substitutes are warming u p on the touch line they could use pom Poms and do a cheerleader Dance. I have it on good authority that the kit is to make our new gay player feel at home. When he comes out . (I might have made some of that up ).

I'd stayed away from football news for a couple of days, so when I saw the kit on the BBC story this morning the red mist descended and yes, I went into a bit of a meltdown. If it's a joke then well played I fell for it... and with hindsight it was funny. But it's dragging on a bit now.
If it is in fact our planned kit, then if it falls foul of the rules that's a massive own-goal regardless of how much it made us trend on Twatter. To be fair it looked slightly less ridiculous "in action" on the highlights clip... but only slightly less.
This whole charade (whether the kit is real or not) just doesn't seem in keeping with the image the club has tried to promote ever since Dean Hoyle first took over. Cozying up with questionable businesses for the sake of "bants" and boosting social media numbers is a bit crass, and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.
We're Huddersfield Town. We should be better than this bullshit

The joke hasn't dragged on as long as you think really. It seems that way if you're a town fan because you were on the announcement straight away, but there'll be loads of folk getting shown the funny kit at work today by a mate or whatever. Until that starts to die down and the views on the tweet start to decline, announcing it as a joke would be counter productive (for pp).
Everyone said the real kit will be announced before the Rochdale game... Then they said it would be half time... Now they're saying it'll be Saturday...
Good jokes have good delivery, this is being aborted right now for me.

Around 36 hours so far ? Some wag on here been pushing same “joke” about fake inside info from news networks for nigh on a dozen years!

If I rang Paddy Power and asked to place a £10,000 bet on the shirt being replaced with the proper one before the first game of the season, I wonder what odds they might give me?
You don’t let some shit betting company make the club a laughing stock for 500k. The club have in my opinion opened up the fans and club to piss take. This is not classy it is embarrassing.
I have people here at work laughing at how bad it is... they are not laughing at what some believe is a joke or stunt. They are laughing at us.
I suspect paddy power aren’t our shirt sponsor for next season, this paddy power stunt is a build up to a new sponsor, possibly a charity. I think tomorrow will be a very interesting day, I think we are in for a surprise.
It could be the real shirt but if it is its a massive cock up. They wont sell many and it certainly looks to be oversized in terms of what is allowed for sponsors. Sounds like the authorities have already been in touch so they are either going to have to move quickly to change the kit or if it was always a stunt then they need to make that public today and stop the madness.
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.
