Sweet Jesus I hope this is a wind up if not no wonder Smith joined us.

If Paddy Power are involved in anything, it's always a wind up.
Sort of embarrassing for Huddersfield to be the ones making PP's jokes for them though, christ.

Definitely a wind up, you’re not even allowed to have a sponsor taking up that much of a shirt.

Has to be a stunt as I don’t think it’s actually legal - not 100% though.

So this season we can look forward to a sub championship competitive rivalry of teams that have Gambling logos or names on their shirts. eg Nottingham Forest, BetBright. Derby 32 Red. Swansea, BetUK. Stoke, Bet 365, Huddersfield etc

If it is real they know how to make a publicity stunt dont they, even paying out on stoke before the season would have give them advertising.
Wouldn't buy one of them though would you as a supporter, disgraceful

It may be too large at first glance but does the white sash that goes over the wite stripes count as part of the sponsor though? It's not in a box is it?

I'm pretty sure that's a prank but I would love it if it were true.

Wind up. Fairly certain United had to make the Chevrolet logo smaller when they first started sponsoring a few years back. I'm pretty sure it's regulated...

Its obviously a wind up but who the fuck from Huddersfield sanctioned this?? Someone with a very astute grasp of internet marketing (if it is indeed a wind-up). It's being talked about on a Stoke City messageboard (and no doubt other team's boards too), as well as twitter etc.

They're bending over to be PP's joke, it's not like everyone is talking about this as if they're genius' all of it is attributed to PP, they're just now the vehicle to the company's banter. That said I read on reddit it's some uber deal, biggest outside the Prem in Britain, which must be saying something as I'd think we and a few others have made a pretty penny. No denying PP have cracking advertising, always have. The Rhodri Giggs add especially was brilliant.

It won't be allowed during the season, but they're wearing it tonight in a friendly 😂

I like it, good prank and generates some PR for the brand and the football club, Bet365 must wish they'd got there first.

I think it’s one thing for an external sponsor to have a bit of a laugh at the expense of a club but your own owners doing it to you would be a bit too far! Also I think it would have pushed a lot of people over the edge! We’ve really embarrassed ourselves enough in the last few years!

Huddersfield have confirmed it is going on sale on Saturday. It's not a joke!!!!!
It is gross but also disturbing. Should not be allowed and hopefully the FA will pull the plug on it, it violates current FA guidelines
"We're sure Huddersfield fans will be delighted with this season's kit."
If they are, then there must be some serious mental health issues in that neck of the woods.
In what way do under 18s get protection from gambling promotions with this kind of exposure?

It's obviously a joke.
But they are pushing their luck with it and squeezing every last drop of publicity and outrage out of it.
If they try and push it longer than today, it could backfire.

They’re now at the stage where it looks worse if it’s fake. Small time as fuck letting Paddy Power take the piss out of them.
