    No doubt not the best shirt sponcors in the world but it would be interesting to see what Paddy has offered them and how long the deal is for.

    Been investigated by the FA due to the size of the sponsor, needs to be within certain size limits

    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

    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.

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

    It will be interesting to see if any other shirt sponsors follow suit or even forego their own logo in favour of a 'charity' one.

    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
