    is it for real or just a Paddy Power PR stunt?

    Have to say kits look far better without sponsors on the front, unfortunately the income is to important to turn down though.

    Fair play to Paddy Power. That shirt without any sponsorship on it looks absolutely mint.

    If City had a shirt without sponsorship on it, I would be first in the queue. Not least because having JCT 600 emblazoned across your front isn't a good look for a woman who isn't flat chested.

    I see Town have been fined 50 grand by the FA.
    Whilst I'm no fan of the doggies I'm in total agreement with PaddyPower that the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Especially when you compare it to the 10 grand fine handed out to Millwall for racist chanting.
    As usual the FA are living up to their initials by having FA common-sense: wear a strip that makes you look like a nob - £50k. Let your neanderthal fans racially abuse someone -£10k. #noidea

    It’s worth the exception to the rule, it’s truly horrific. Despite the rivalry I’ve always thought they were a club with a little bit class. Been brought down a peg or two now.

    Is this even legal? I thought the FA only allowed 200cm square area for sponsors?

    There is a genuine problem in the sporting fans fraternity with gambling addiction.

    The fixture list has also just been released. They start with Sheffield Wednesday at home then it's Ibiza away for Karen's hen do.

    clearly a PR stunt from paddy power and town, they alluded to that a day or so before the 'release.' there are also limits on the size a sponsor / logo is allowed to be on a shirt.

    I doubt they'll get fined as they haven't played a competitive fixture in it as yet. Presumably, if it is a prank, it'll be announced soon along with the real kit.

    The kids shirt would look better without the sponsor, but then youd just have a great big white line across the shirt haha

    I am guessing that this is a stunt from Paddy Power rather than this being the genuine new kit.

    If it is a marketing stunt then it's still in poor taste, they are still effectively debasing themselves in exchange for money. "Ha ha it was just a prank guys, I didn't really sell my own grandmother, I just you know, loaned her out for a few days and then I got her back, so it was all fun and games at the end of the day."

    I'm sure Huddersfield Town are well aware of the rules and, when they launch their official kit later this week, it will comply.

    It is a very clever publicity stunt which has worked very well for Paddy Power and, no doubt, earned Huddersfield some extra income. Whether or not it is in good taste, or morally correct, is another matter.

    Any fines they get. Paddy power will pay and it will be money well spent
    The extra advertising

    OMG really don’t like betting companies sponsoring sport tbh. Didn’t the club have any say? Surely they wouldn’t have let them do that!!
