The only people who don't believe it was a PR stunt are afew on here who fell for it, lost their minds, now can't admit they got it wrong & some pissy Leeds fans on Twitter. This has been the funniest pre-season week ever Edit; Add Blake 'weasel face' Welton to that list aswell.

Why did Paddy Power chose Town rather than a Premier team? Don`t steal SJ from us! its cost em 500k for about 5m worth of publicity (due to their fantastic marketing) most prem clubs are after 10m minimum. no doubt this latest trick will keep the publicity rolling

I love both shirts, I never buy one as I live overseas and it makes an expensive shirt even more so but I love this shirt and may have to bite the bullet this time.

That makes no sense...might have some sort of argument had they not paid us much brass. theyve paid enough to sponsor us as a normal, name on the shirt, but they have CHOSEN not to have name on. how can you say we couldnt find anyone to sponsor? I hold my hands up this is a great result for everyone, do the same Hands held up, great result for all. But it’s only come about after we ran out of time (irrespective of amount paid and credit due its a record amount) to print sponsors logos on shirts to go on sale, through poor planning. Yes, that all makes perfect sense. We ran out of time, and were desperate to get a new sponsor that we just grabbed the first offer that came along. Paddy Power have really had our pants down with their derisory, last-minute, insulting record-breaking sponsorship deal.......

Curious as to whether this is still the biggest sponsorship we've had outside the top flight? The article where SJ mentions that seems slightly open to question now given he talks about the front of the shirt I'm guessing that part was probably true though.

Managed to change my vote. Just untick it and put a tick in the box saying you love it. OK I'm hardly a genius for working that out, but for any other IT illiterate people wanting to change there vote - that's how you do it.

Blake Welton (remember him?) is on Twitter making out it was a massive U turn by the club & PP after the FA got involved..
This day is getting better & better by the minute 😂😂

Does the club shop sell flannels? I’ve some egg to wipe off my face! Not a huge fan of the initial stunt, but turned out rather nicely in the end.

22k likes on twitter, 375k views of that Paddy Power video, story trending #1 on the r/soccer Reddit board, in the newspapers, etc... It's given us and PP more publicity than a simple shirt sponsorship and they'll still have their branding in the stadium. They've played a blinder here and I can see record shirt sales on the way. We can still be cynical about betting in football, but it's fitting that the club was part of this. UTT and bring on the season!

“Furthermore, the bookmaker will stage a ‘shirt amnesty’ outside Huddersfield Town’s first home game against Derby County on 5 August for fans to hand back older branded shirts and receive an unbranded version.”

BUT...
The stripes are too wide / its the wrong shade of blue / the socks should be black / Hoggys ears are too sticky outey / Karlan Grant has tattoos / the terriers eyes are funny *
*delete as appropriate.
FWIW, I think this is possibly the best modern kit we have ever had.

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. Keep ploughing your lonely furrow buddy 😁

The little Huddersfield Town sign on the back collar is absolutely lovely. Bottom left.

It's actually got me thinking - is there a third kit due? I know the away strip is very dark blue but if we play away at a mainly blue themed kitted club will the ref be happy for us to wear the blue and white stripes? With the new 'non sponsor' aproach it would have to be a new one, we couldn't just recycle a red or yellow kit from previous years.

The way I see it some of the media have made complete prat’s of themselves. As a town fan I don’t care what anyone else thinks, the home and alternative kit must go down as the best two ever released imo.
