You’re all so easily fooled! Simple idiots. All? Was *anyone* on here fooled? The only people I’ve seen fooled are some people in the media and a Leeds fan who I saw at an event last night who told me he thought our kit looked stupid but when he saw a picture from our pre season match he’d reckoned it actually looked ok. I put him out of his misery!!! (And asked him how on Earth as a Leeds fan he’d ended up looking at pictures from a Hudds pre season match...and then asked him how Leeds we’re getting on in their own pre season fixtures but he didn’t want to talk about Man U for some reason no matter how much I prompted him and pointed out our competitive result against them just a couple of months back, despite our utter shitness). 🤣

Then they've completely missed the point I'm afraid. I don’t think they have!! This is exactly the point! We couldn’t secure a deal/the right deal in time and so this stunt was the end result.

I guess that leaves OPE out of the running as a future buyer of our great club or the Daily Mail will be on our case again at some point Unless we announce an all-brown third (reich) shirt...

I want the best for my club. Someone has pointed out this was the record deal for outside the PL and that has to be commended. Don’t lose sight though of the fact our shirts are regularly late out compared to others every year. The sponsor is always seemingly a last minute afterthought. Yes OPE only gave backword late on but provisional discussions should have been held from February onwards when we were clearly down, not waiting for OPE. Are you all seriously telling me you think in 12 months time we won’t have a shirt sponsor back on, when we’ve had a full year to negotiate the right deal?! You can only pay top whack to ‘not be the sponsor’ so many times before it wears thin! I salute the club’s ‘noble cause’ but think you all need to get real in terms of how and why it’s come about and of you all think we won’t be selling that shirt space again in the future, like we can afford not to, you’re all very naive. Whenever the sponsorship deal runs out with Paddy Power, I'm sure we'll have another company's logo on our shirts. Until then, we have PP's "unsponsored" shirt. It's not a noble cause, it's a bit of clever marketing. PP is the right deal for both parties. OPE was a good deal for us (not sure whether it was for OPE, given that we can't use their services in the UK) and whoever sponsors us next will do so in a way that's right for both parties.

That implies that they think we intended to play in the sash shirt and it backfired. Do you believe that? Because it looks like no one else does.

It really isn't, this is just what people write to get you to click on their website, the headline is all it takes. The content is irrelevant and they probably don't care if you read it or not. Stop clicking the clearly click-bait links and they'll stop and try write something interesting to attract you instead. It's exactly the same strategy as needed with one or two posters on here, no attention, no nonsense.

I think you need to email Sean Jarvis expressing your views so he can explain it to you. He probably won't use any big words so you'll get it.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE. Town have been Paddy Power's performing monkey.. But it's brought more attention to excessive gambling sponsorship in the national media which is great. Except that still means we've effectively done a better job of advertising a bookies than any other club. You could go around in circles forever As some of us said yesterday, get the stunt shirts auctioned off for charity and that'll round it off nicely. I'll be buying a home shirt for the first time in twenty years in any case. It's fucking lovely.

So basically they couldn’t get a sponsorship deal/sort one in time and so have treat us all like mugs and turned their poor planning and usual lateness in sorting the shirts round on us the fans, with a last minute deal with PaddyPower for this stunt! Shirts without sponsors look shit, look like the club couldn’t find a sponsor and let’s not lose sight of that’s exactly what has happened here - they have just created a smokescreen and noble cause to cloud it! Oh come on kennyoldirons, be serious now. You’re doubling down more than Donald Trump at a racist rally.

Aren't the shirts pre-ordered from Umbro about 2 months in advance? Which disproves this point entirely. If the club realised it was a big mistake straight away, how have they redesigned the shirt, placed an embroidered badge in a different position and have them all in the club shop by Saturday? Obviously all a big PR stunt.

Imagine now if a hundred Paddy Power logos emerged after washing, invisible ink style.

They need a sponsor deal in place before they can print the sponsors logos on. OPE gave backword in May (?), we were trying to secure a deal still in June and July (?)... we haven’t secured one on our terms through poor forward planning and not exploring options from say Feb onwards when we knew we were down, even allowing OPE first refusal... end result is this. But you all believe what you want! Like we won’t have a shirt sponsor again as soon as we plan and organise for the timings to get the logo printed for the start of the season again!

80% of the people who believed it was real on here are the usual cretins who only ever post negative nonsense about the club. They'll still try & put a negative spin on it, mark my words.

The new sponsor will either have to play the club even more money to remove this years from sale if they want to shift any or tone down their requirements for a logo that dominates the shirt. Plus, it's likely there will be more interest in what we do at next years launch (I can't wait) which we can also use in negotiating our position.

Completely agree with those points and next years position, but seems most are naive to what has happened here and now. Fair play to the club for the way they’ve turned it round in not securing a sponsor in time though.

Except we're getting paid to keep ours clean. And we had a team of professionals to design and manufacture it. And its still £10 cheaper! I suppose that extra tenner will go towards buying their ground back from the owner.... *EDITED price.

I just want to know how Nigel's going to try spin this one Eh?! If you *actually* knew me, you’d know that I identified it as a spoof at 930am on Wednesday. Anything else you’ve seen is just because I do love to see people getting irrationally wound up about things that don’t matter. It’s called having a sense of humour and being prepared to use yourself as the butt of a joke. You know, like what Hudds Town have done. 😘 (I was surprised that they played in the kit at Rochdale, that took some balls).

Their owner is their sponsor (Chansiri), I'm under the impression they're giving fans the option to purchase with and without sponsor (had a quick gander and there doesn't seem to be anything about them going sponsorless on the shirt).

Record shirt sales anyone? The PP shirts worn at Rochdale will bring in a few quid for the HTFC charities when they go on ebay......or have they been destroyed? I want one!
