www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/big-paddy-power-interview-more-16621124So this basically confirms exactly what I was saying when numerous of you gave me dogs abuse; Town were still sponsorless in May/June and so we made the perfect match for this project, that PaddyPower had in mind (for any club) all along. You can’t go from agreeing a deal/contracts in July to getting thousands of shirts with sponsors logos onto them in time for late July. I’m not saying I disagree with it or it’s a bad thing, but it’s our inability and poor planning in having a shirt sponsor in place that’s made us perfect for this. And as I said, surely nobody is naive enough to think that #saveourshirt will continue to be a thing after this. Our new kit looks great and it’s the best deal we’ve secured outside of the PL, it’s a master stroke from the commercial team in pulling this out of the bag as they have and making it out like a cause for the great and the good. I was merely pointing out it’s a little naive to suggest #saveourshirt is such a noble cause and it’s exactly what Town had in mind from any point other than it became a panic of what to do about this season’s shirts sponsor. It’s a win-win. “We spent about six months developing it and come April this year we had pretty much an idea in place with the help of another agency we work with - and then we started talking to clubs. Huddersfield weren't the first or only club we spoke to, but they were the club that we spoke tot hat stood out as the right match. We went to them with this mad idea and pitched it to them, including the scary first kit and the backlash and the grand reveal and the onward stuff I can't talk about, and Huddersfield really bought into it straight away. I believe we met with Huddersfield maybe late May, early June, and then obviously the contract process takes a few weeks, but from that first meeting we were pretty much agreed that we liked the cut of each other's jib and wanted to work together.” So how long does it take please? Precise answers only with evidence please. You must have some given you’ve categorically stayed it’s impossible in the timescales you’ve quoted above.

I thought it was late because they were having problems negotiating with OPE? If that's the case Town can't be blamed for that without knowing the facts. Any road, the club should be commended for this. We'll probably sell more shirts than any other season, even the two years we spent in the Premier Lge. Last time we had a decent shirt we were promoted - just saying 95 shirt 04 shirt 12 shirt 17 shirt all good.

In fairness, even our joke kit looks better than some of those monstrosities. I fully expect Stevenage to announce that theirs is a prank that blows our PaddyPower one out of the water, because both of those kits are ghastly.

Stevenage are just hoping those kits will dazzle opposition keepers, hoping they'll drop a whopper.

You say it was desperation... but we managed to secure the largest deal in our history outside the PL
You really think there was no other sponsors being spoken to, this being the biggest commercial income for the club. This would have been high on the list of priorities.
Even if you have said further down, the club went ahead with shirtless sponsors becasue they didnt have anyone... why don't you think of it as not willing to devalue the club, just like we do with player sales.
Or, like we have done in the past, why didn't we gift it to a charity?
You just need to stop with this, you're making yourself look very stupid.

Interesting bit on the Paddy Power interview on talk sport about Town officials getting all windy a few minutes before the game. Sounds like PP told us to stick to the deal !

Just looking at the 2nd kit...plain blue...very nice but when will we wear it if we can't wear our stiped shirts ?
Next season 9 clubs also playing in blue are -
Birmingham Blackburn Cardiff Millwall Reading QPR Sheffield Wed. WBA Wigan
4 of those wear a solid blue shirt, 2 play in blue hoops, 2 in blue stripes,one in blue halves..
So maybe 5 times at best ? probably 4 occasions we'll wear the 3rd kit and the rest of the time we can wear our normal kit ?

Going off this link www.historicalkits.co.uk/English_Football_League/season/2019-2020/championship.html, i would imagine we will wear the navy kit at Brentford Derby Fulham Leeds Preston Stoke Swansea As long as we are ok to wear our blue and white away (as no away sponsor only this season), i would imagine we will wear our home kit at Barnsley Bristol City Charlton Hull Luton Middlesbrough Forest and the 3rd kit at Birmingham Blackburn Cardiff Millwall QPR Reading Sheff Wed West Brom Wigan Possibly some of these could be the home kit (Birmingham, Cardiff, Millwall and Wigan) At pretty even split across the 3 kits i think.

So what colour shorts are they wearing with the Navy away kit? The promo pics the club has released just seems to show the players in tracky bottoms.

Motherwell getting in on the act now Embarrassing for Motherwell being unable to get a shirt sponsor in time. It is when they clearly have had the kit designed to incorporate a sponsor on it . That big claret box across the middle looks a bit strange without a sponsor in it.
