Can't the OP just ammend the voting to include 'This is obviuousy a spoof, now show us the real one' and I think some people may reallign their votes. Absolutely so! 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. Can you please explain why the commercial department should be ashamed of themselves? Their job is to generate revenue for the club which clearly this deal with PP will achieve. Absolutely ridiculous comment. Just to put a bit of perspective on this 'Huddersfield' is the trending at number 3 in the entire UK on twitter with around 7000 tweets thus far. It's clearly a PR stunt which will bring further exposure and in turn revenue.

The brilliant bit, or was it just coincidence - PH mentioned that this was the most lucrative sponsorship deal in the EFL. When this shirt appeared this morning, it made me think... fuck, we've sold our soul to the devil for filthy lucre. Our best deal outside the PL I think. As opposed to bigger than anyone else’s.

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. 😤 You have heard of a thing called Photoshop, right?

Where is the option of: "why do grown men care whether the stripes are a slightly different width to their perfect preference, or the colour of the socks is wrong even though they won't buy them anyway option?"
Personally, I think the slash is almost certainly a PR stunt and there is nothing wrong with that if it is. Stop getting on your damn high horses over every little thing. There are more important things in life to worry about.
If the other picture is correct with the logo across the chest then I think it looks fine. Looks like a Town top.

I've always known that the HTFC fan base was infested with paint chip eating mouth breathers, but never realized just how much until today.
Thankyou HTFC/PP for pulling this stunt, now we can separate the wheat from the chaff.

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 😂 And that they're the only team to have played more than one Premier League game at JSS and not won.

The hem of the sleeve is completely different from all the other Umbro 19/20 shirts. Got to be a work.

Looking forward to seeing the new shirt after this marketing stunt. Top work by all involved. I bet everyone's first reaction to the shirt was ! Exactly the reaction they hoped for. It seems we are going to be kept on our toes following Town's social media accounts this season. Every announcement now will leave us thinking is this yet another wind-up.

Paddy power advertising master stroke. had 4 friends from far afield all non town fans ringing up taking the piss out of the new shirt. It’s got footy fans talking about us and the fact it’s not real is great. UTT

Is that the LGBT and undecided could be swayed if I moved to a big City Pageant ?

The problem comes when we prefer to the fake kit to the real one.

Ask Paddy for odds of lowest ever selling Town kit. So it’s even worse than the green slab across the kit fuck me sideways
