We're trending again. But not for good reason. My mate, who's a Norwich fan based in Berlin, text me within six minutes of the release!! And that is precisely why they've done it. Top drawer marketing from PP & I think if nothing else, they will make sure we get noticed!

Surely a wind up, this is an extract from the FA handbook and their sponsor guidelines "One single area not exceeding 250 square centimetres on the front of the shirt (see Fig 10, page 18);" Is a 'guideline' a 'requirement'?

If there's one thing i've learnt from DATM, it's that you can get a lot of attention from being a WUM. Let's hope this is more 'Banter'

Well Paddypower's little 'joke' has certainly worked and it's got the reaction they wanted with the whole football community looking and commenting!
getting their monies worth of advertising I suppose.

I wonder if when the new kit is released they will give us the option of buying that one too as a keepsake

Hhmm there's a comment from Sean on the official site, worrying but I guess he's in on it. Its certainly innovative and I guess we'll get to find out how much of a stir it made on social media.
Looking at the shirt with the badge in the right place and minus the sash I think it might be a beauty although I prefer stripey sleeves. The black pin stripe seems to work really well.
When will they put us out of our misery.

Sometimes they grow on me but this one wont, absolute shocker that It's absolutely ridiculous, if true. Looks great under the Miss World banner though.

Must be a wind up. When the shirts are tucked in the shorts it will read - "DYPOWER!!

Yeah I'm not buying this...in any respect.
Very clever marketing stunt though. It won't be dull being sponsored by these idiots.

If a sponsor like that was allowed it would have been done by now, Mike Ashley would be all over it!

It’s a wind up, a brilliant piece of marketing spin and a sign of things to come. Watch out for things on deadline day I suspect too! On the first point, if there WAS a Miss World in that kit, I’d buy one 😂

In addition to the sponsor size point, PH said that the kit would be revealed "on Wednesday, at Rochdale", or words to that effect - we are not yet "at Rochdale"...
If it is a joke, which I think/hope it is, it's fantastic marketing. By the Rochdale match, there will be numerous websites (some bloggy, some not-so-bloggy) talking about how the kit has made us angry. Then those same websites will talk about the switch to the actual kit, and the banter with the fans. It may get discussed on TalkSport. It'll appear on all of those "top 10 kit reveal" blogs and videos. Rather than having a single tweet from HTAFC that is perhaps retweeted by a few Town fans, something like this can gain a huge amount of exposure for a few days (if not longer), all for the price of some basic Photoshopping (the actual kit may just have had the sash plastered on top and the badge moved).
Like it or not, social media is the key to commercial success, and Paddy Power are very good at it.

I really hope that is the shirt, obviously minus the sash but if that's the shirt design with the central badge I love it!

This is the humour I can get on board with but not the blatant put the whole club and town I grew up in down because we aren’t fashionable or rich just because we are paying you. Yeah I’m sensitive but I think everyone will applaud this type of marketing stunt as it does give the club exposure and people will laugh with us not at us. I think there’s a huge difference! #snowflake I think quite the opposite. The original ad was merely voicing what all non Hudds fans around the country would be thinking, nothing insulting at all. This however is done with the sole intention of getting horrified responses on social media from upset Town fans, so that when they do reveal the actual kit they can point and laugh at the town fans who didn't realise it was a wind up. The latter is certainly the more offensive and demeaning of the two actions in my book.

Anyone that thinks this is real needs to really wake up. Has anyone read the article? “Elasticated shorts to provide security and support for 90 mins” Pics of the shorts and socks just lying around. All the talk from Jarvis about paddy power, doesn’t even mention the new badge by him as well.
I imagine the real shirt with have the badge in normal place and that paddy power logo in the standard place with the overall design of the shirt the same.

Deffo a publicity stunt - wouldn't be surprised if they played pre season games in it. League rules & all that, but sure they can wear what they want pre season
