Grow up. All those years of being little, unheard-of-globally Huddersfield Town, well today the world is talking about us, they know who we are. It doesn't matter how you market your product just so long as you get it into people's heads. As long as this IS a wind up, then I think it's a masterstroke. We've just spent two years in the Premier League, it's not like we're fucking unknowns any more! Let's hope the commercial team have negotiated a nice wedge for us to be Paddy Powers social media bitch. I don't that makes a lot of difference to people's mindsets. We had about 10 minutes on MOTD all season and largely overlooked on other media platforms. I doubt all the kids were rushing to play as Town on FIFA any more than they already would have done. And the more time we spend away from the top table, the more we risk slipping back into obscurity. I get that you aren't enamoured with Paddy Power, but I think they've got this spot on.

The new badge is just as atrocious as the huge sponsor but unfortunately that bit is actually real! Did I not read recently that they might make a bid to buy William Hill whose profits had dropped.?

250 square centimetres is 2.5 meters squared which would cover the whole of the shirt and some. Do you mean 25cm squared ? If this is not a windup anyone who buys it must have no self dignity at all !!

We will be all over the media - great publicity showing we don't take ourselves too seriously. Our own fans sang 'how shit must you be it's only 1-0', 'we scored a goal..', 'Luton Town away'. The Sky mix-up about our new manager when we did a video. I guess this is why we were chosen to be their first League sponsor deal. think football is a bit different to other stuff though, cant exactly see it attracting new fans! Football finance is about more than the people coming through the turnstile. Without our time in the Prem we wouldn't have the three live games, and the extra revenue they bring, we already have. Things like this can increase the viewing figures for those games which makes us more attractive to the TV companies which gives us more live games and revenue.

Bit worried that we just seem to be the butt end of a joke for Paddy Power - first the announcement video and then this. I hope they didn't pay ยฃXm just to fuck with us for PR gains. Grow up. All those years of being little, unheard-of-globally Huddersfield Town, well today the world is talking about us, they know who we are. It doesn't matter how you market your product just so long as you get it into people's heads. As long as this IS a wind up, then I think it's a masterstroke. Ha great, so you think we've finally peaked now that we've earned the right to be the butt of jokes that fans of other clubs will laugh at? It's not done for Town's benefit, far from it, it's done to further Paddy Power's irreverent branding. Whilst this might net town a few quid in sponsorship you're kidding yourself if you think this humour will somehow result in non Town fans buying our shirts or otherwise investing in our club. I don't necessarily object to them as a sponsor or their humour but I think you're the one who needs to "grow up" if you think this is anything but a "masterstroke" for Paddy Power only.

The social media exposure is great. Nothing wrong with a bit of publicity. Just hoping that we can match the raised profile off the pitch, on it. The self-deprecating humour is going to get tiresome very quickly if we're getting gubbed week in, week out.

Don't need new fans, there's no room for them anyway. Who'd have thought that when we're 'only' a Championship team.

250 square centimetres is 2.5 meters squared which would cover the whole of the shirt and some. Do you mean 25cm squared ? If this is not a windup anyone who buys it must have no self dignity at all !! As opposed to you who's quite happy to display staggering mathematical ignorance to everybody.

I'm pretty sure it's a wind up but even without the hideous sash it's crap.

If this is not a windup anyone who buys it must have no self dignity at all !! 250cm2 is correct. It wouldn't cover the whole shirt. A banner of 25cm x 10cm is 250cm2. Agree with you about self dignity tho!

Nothing on Umbro twitter account. Perhaps they donโt like being the butt of Paddy Power jokes either. Quite surprised they have allowed it to be honest

I'm going to say it.
I love the shirt. It's the best shirt for years. It's fantastic.
But not the sponsor logo. That's fucking terrible.
Im not against the general slant of it but the reason I don't like it is because it dominates the shirt. No sponsor logo should ever dominate the shirt.

It's not about selling shirts, it's about exposure, which given how it's blown Twitter up this morning, makes that one in the win column for the club. And don't tell me to grow up when you're dripping tears onto your bra because other teams' fans are making jokes about us on social media.
