VLC86 Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 I genuinely can’t stop looking at that Huddersfield strip, howling. A Paddy Power stunt that will be banned by the end of the week no doubt about it but it’s still horrific.
KingsX Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 From the axe murderer's EEG to the bachelorette's sash. It used to be hard to get riled about Huddersfield. Now I'd like to see them stay down, as far down as necessary to spare me seeing professional athletes running around kitted up like gobby chicks about to puke their eighth B-52 shooter of the night. edit ok, I've been had. They're not really going to play the season in that? ... right?
KrefelderFox666 Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Well the FA have been alerted by Huddersfield's new kit anyway: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49026053
RonnieTodger Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 I don't think it's real. Even if you look at the kit they were wearing last night, the sponsor "sash" looks like a peel-off sticker. Probably some weird ploy, as many have predicted. No idea why Huddersfield would get involved in that. Paddy Power do a lot of weird shit, but does it actually encourage anyone to bet with them instead? I don't think I've ever used them apart from a Grand National offer or something.
Wymsey Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 They're trying to be clever in order to stand out, but it's very much evident that Paddy Power has become victims of their own sassiness marketing tactics here.

I would love this to be the point the FA steps in and bollocks all the gambling firms and takes and stand on their advertisement etc
Gamble92 Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 If anyone wants a laugh, go to the Huddersfield forum and read the 26 pages of arguments about whether it is real or not. As time has gone on they're all starting to think it is. Why would they stretch it out this long? Surely last night as they were kicking off would have been a good time to say okay jokes over and rip it off? The shirt goes on sale in 2 days. If it is a joke its ended up angering a whole fanbase for the sake of getting them trending for all the wrong reasons.

goose2010 Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Paddy Power have confirmed it was fake. They are officially 'unsponsoring' their shirt. So there is no sponsor on the shirt but they are till their official sponsor if that makes sense! They are launching the 'saveourshirt' campaign and are encouraging other betting companies to remove their sponsors from shirts.

It seems they are campaigning for shirts without all sponsors on them to be sold to fans

I imagine there are a few fans from a few clubs that would love Paddy Power to sponsor them now!

brockmyster Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 I find it hard to believe anyone took the initial shirt release for Huddersfield serious, considering the same company pretended to cut down the bloody rainforest, surely people have twigged to PaddyPower and their ways by now
Voll Blau Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Am I allowed to think that the shirt is nice, as is the premise of sponsor-free (especially from gambling companies) football shirts in general, while simultaneously a) feeling deeply cynical and depressed about the motives behind this particular kit launch and the way it's been handled, and b) being a bit disgusted with Huddersfield for the way they've allowed themselves to be degraded as a club by this? It's just, you know, I'd hate for anyone on the internet to think less of me. That really would be too much.
