I’m going to prepare myself tonight to seeing the players run out at Rochdale, to warm up wearing the spoof top, only to be wearing the proper top at kick off.

I will say it again.. Its not a wind up.. Its genuine.. The club isnt in the habit of playing practical jokes.. It's not in the habit of failing to comply with league regulations either. That shirt CAN NOT be worn for competitive matches.

Paddy Power spend a pittance on a football shirt sponsorship deal, to what they would have spent on sponsoring say, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and then invent a brilliant ad campaign. Two winners here, both the club and PP who are top of the twitter charts this morning.
I wonder if those PP ad men are being headhunted?

It says on the Town web site that the instantly recgnisable green logo of the sponsor is displayed horizontally across the chest, however it’s not shown in the pictures, I think the stripe going on an angle top to bottom will be just plain White, the paddy power logo will be horizontally across the chest, so for me it’s just a promotional shot.

I think the real giveaway is asking if an Irish company want our kids singing 'The Sash My Father Wore' in time to come. Maybe the sash isn't such a bad idea after all!

Reckon we could go one further and play the first half in it...then as they're all coming out for the second half those ones come off to reveal the real one underneath. I laugh, you laugh, the players laugh and withdraw their transfer requests, and we thump Rochdale 5-0

I will say it again.. Its not a wind up.. Its genuine.. The club isnt in the habit of playing practical jokes.. Is this post a wind up? So you think that our club would hire professional photographers.. And get schindy and hogg to pose in a fake shirt for a joke?? Then send out an official announcement to the world?? Or do you think the new sponsors have persuaded them to go big on the company name for a shed load of money? Personally i hope it is real.. Even tho i dont like the shirt.. I prefer that to paddy power using the club as its own comedy banter bitch. 😤

Cmon guys, those who still think this is genuine, you can't even tuck that shirt in as it'll obstruct part of the logo. Is it part of the deal that the players can't tuck their shirts in 😂

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. 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. It's about exposure for Paddy Power, there's little pay off to Town from this.

That would have been a lovely shirt if it hadn't have been for the fucking sponsor logo taken up all the front. £50 quid kept in my pocket this year

It’s not too bad certainly not as embarrassing as last seasons effort (or lack of) on the pitch!

Oh man .... would love to work for Paddy Power!
Great blag and even if not a blag, great shirt that we’ll all come to love.
At least it’s going to be fun this year with this lot and WE do like a laugh don’t we?
Lifes too short ....enjoy and stop mithering.
Cheers.
UTT

I find it hard to believe the sponsor logo is real as others have said it would be outside the regulations. Other than that though I like the rest of the shirt but I don't think its going to flatter anyone with a beer gut. Looks a bit form fitting.

I don't think they'll be taking the mick too often if we're bottom of the league

It's not for sale yet. It says it's for sale from Saturday. I know, but there are guidelines on marketing which ban misleading adverts likely to deceive. This is definitely the case B2B marketing anyway, no idea if it applies to consumer adverts? It's not misleading, the home shirt goes on sale on Saturday. It's just not the shirt shown this morning.

Now it’s sunk in. I agree with all that this is a prank. Embarrassed that I was taken in by it all. Obviously the club realised that the shirt launch is very emotive and have done brilliantly to mislead us.

anyone heard from Waccoe yet Their too busy with the "big game". I kid you not there are about 20 taking extended lunch here "to watch us batter the scum". Their biggest game in 9 years, a friendly in Australia, you couldn't make it up.
The real Utd 2 up after half an hour 🤣

I'm sure that Town fans will, in effect, vote with their feet, and sales of shirts will plummet. While it's good to ensure funding from sponsors is found, why does that sponsor's name have to be so dominant - even overwhelming - at a time when prudent approaches to gambling are sought? The commercial department at HTAFC should be ashamed of themselves.

The real Utd 2 up after half an hour 🤣 Quite funny how they try and claim it's not a 1 sided rivalry, when 5000 of them have gone to Aus just to have a chance at seeing them play Man Utd. There won't be a single Utd fan out there who gives a shit. And even funnier that we've played them 5 times in less than 2 years. Edit: Apparently they've been singing you're only here to watch the Leeds, after themselves travelling 9000 miles with the sole intention of watching Man Utd 😂
