Doesn't say what the potential punishment will be though. Thinking back I remember an umbro kit with loads of umbro badges in the background. Man United's Chavelot sponsor can't be too far breaking the rules, their logo is hideously big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lowensda Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Best Football related PR stunt in years. Marketing gods at Paddy Power. Huddersfield will never get that amount of press coverage in their lifetime. PP only needed to generate enough engagement to last a season, they've single handedly put Huddersfield on the map with a lifetime of PR. Also, the end result is incredible. What a gesture (their presence will of course be felt everywhere around the club still) just keeps it clean on the shirts so that football purests are kept happy.

Not just that, but it means it’s not actively promoting a potentially devastating addiction. I’ve always vehemently detested sponsors of dangerous products (booze, betting, even gaming) so for me it’s a fantastic stance! I hope we follow suit quickly.

Paddy Power are still the "shirt sponsor" but have decided not to put their logo on the shirt it seems...no way has it been done for altruistic motives though, it's a calculated move to get themselves into the headlines, and it's worked. Paddy Power MD, Victor Corcoran, said: “Shirt sponsorship in football has gone too far. We accept that there is a role for sponsors around football, but the shirt should be sacred. “So today we are calling on other sponsors to join the Save Our Shirt campaign, and give something back to the fans. “As a sponsor, we know our place, and it’s not on your shirt.” https://www.sbcnews.co.uk/europe/2019/07/19/paddy-power-launches-save-our-shirt-campaign-alongside-real-huddersfield-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Quite a clever move as most betting companies on the shirts I'd never heard of before. Paddy Power is basically trying to get rid of the platform to protect their market share from new competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole kit sponsorship is such an alien concept to we Yanks when we see it the first time. In all of our professional sports, nothing is on the jersey, besides the small logo of the apparel company - it's almost sacred. There would be an angry mob with torches and pitchforks if a team dared to "sully" their jersey/uniform with an ad. The only exception is NASCAR. but that's a different animal completely. Are there any real restrictions, legally or from the FA, on kit sponsorship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 European team athletic champs this week-end in Poland and the final event, as always, the mens 4x400 relay. GB & NI managed a paperwork fuck-up which led to the naming our reserve shot-putter on the first leg. Sadly we withdrew, it might've been an interesting watch.

markjazzbassist Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 It shows the true character of the clubs when it gets tough. I have a lot of respect for burnley they stuck with dyche when he got them promoted and relegated and promoted again. It shows they didn’t all of a sudden think they were hot shit. Huddersfield was a miracle to even be up here with Wagner and they never even bought him players at the premier level, no striker or wingers it was blood and guts. When he left I knew they were done for. They’ll be in league two in a couple years time like Sunderland and Portsmouth. pete0 and Vranny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to the Grand Canyon once, and they would come up to you when they thought you were eating, expecting food (you're not supposed to feed them), and they would follow you around and circle your feet and fight each other in order to get food.

Ghoat Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Well they they can carry rabies so THAT'S always a concern. I have them constantly in my yard and jumping around my trees, randomly changing direction at full speed - they can't be caught. That's probably why they used to use a raccoon tail on hats instead of a squirrel's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
