Greenfly Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So it turns out that horrific Huddersfield kit with the sash was fake. It was all part of a campaign to get rid of shirt sponsors once and for all. Here it is, modelled by our good friend Tommy Elphick: Fair play to them. They've pulled a blinder there.

VT Supporter Mark Albrighton Posted July 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 Don’t particularly care for paddy power but it’s good seeing a shirt without a sponsor. However I don’t see it lasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisVillan Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I sincerely hope no part of Villa's plan involves being rinsed by, or complicit in, a Paddy Power campaign for the good of Paddy Power. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a real campaign. And if it is it’s destined for failure. We discussed in the other thread this was talked about in that this publicity only works for one company. The story goes round about PP doing this and they get loads of publicity. Plus if anyone sees the blank Huddersfield shirt they’ll be reminded of it. So that’s the promotion that PP get. But as soon as another company does it, there’s no impact. And then here are two clubs with blank shirts. Might still work a bit. But once there are a few clubs doing it nobody takes any notice, the companies get no publicity and the entire point of shirt sponsorship has disappeared. It will basically only work so long as one company and club is doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I believe PP have a couple of other clubs lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 No disrespect to Huddersfield but I dont think Paddy Power would have been interested in sponsoring a bigger team. Football fans are tribal and I think PP, Ladbrokes, Coral etc havent joined the football club sponsorship brigade as they wouldnt take the risk of alienating customers by sponsoring a team they hate.
