If it's real they deserve a points deduction for that monstrosity 😂

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? Not a chance, it’s clearly a wind up. How is it a wind up if they are playing games in it? www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7258485/The-Football-Association-consider-handing-Huddersfield-fine-flouting-shirt-sponsorship-rules.htmlOr will the FA fine be a wind up too?

They'll push the boundaries and get the publicity for pre-season games. But surely no way the intention is to play proper games in it. Would think the 'real' kit would be announced in the next couple of days?

FA Regulations apply to all Friendlies, but I guess Paddy Power will happily pay off the fine if they even get it. Should dock them 10 points.

As many have said the FA will fine them - probably £10-20k, which Paddy Power will very happily pay. The PR it has got them is priceless. Denise will really be asking Bet365 marketing group why they didn't think of something like this.

I wouldn't quite yet pronounce it a master stroke.

I suspect this is all a joke but what I don't get is why Huddersfield have done this. It's exactly inline with the PP marketing machine but is this an image that Huddersfield Town want to start taking on?

It's amazing how much better kits look without sponsors.
With a bad kit, it's nearly always an awful sponsorship panel that tips it over the edge into hideous territory.

You know what, fair play to them. Genius advertising, because now any shirt without a sponsor will make people think of paddy power.
And the shirt doesn't half look brilliant without a sponsor

Absolutely brilliant! 👏👏👏👏 It was absolute shite. As are most of Paddy Power’s ‘jokes’. It’s s a publicity stunt not to promote the removal of shirt advertising but to promote PP, as their stunts always are.

Win win. I’d rather have 4 days of advertising than have a sponsors logo on our shirts for the whole season and be able to buy one myself without a betting company logo on it. Wouldn’t you?

I like the shirt don’t get me wrong. And I do think that whoever does PP’s marketing is brilliant as long as you’ve got no scruples. Which it appears PP haven’t. I’m afraid my views on PP are blinded by their behaviour towards us in 2008. Belittling us to gain maximum publicity for themselves. Even their ‘apology’ Was a publicity stunt. Bunch of cocks.

Paddy Power will no doubt pay the fine. More cheap advertising. Wankers.

For someone who is concerned about the predominance of gambling sponsorship in football and its effects on young people, they should be made an example of. PP would have known they would get fined but it just pays for the massive exposure they are achieved through breaking the rules. A small price to pay for them. It's wrong.
