It's only there to get Paddy Power attention, good or bad, anyway. Then it'll be forgotten because they never meant it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 I suppose if you could get your hands on one, the paddy power fake shirt would probably be worth more now. Be interested to see how Huddersfield’s shirt sales do compared to previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Where’s the thread talking about Watford’s sponsor?? worked a treat they knew it would, that’s how they got the club and Umbro to buy in to it its also why you can’t buy in to anything anymore, negative responses via social media is actually what they’re targeting rather than blowing their budget on actual marketing, it’s the footballing version of the Iceland tv advert, and they probably got that out of the Ryanair - who have the cheapest flights in Europe - book of negative publicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who sponsors them but at a guess i'd say an Asian gambling, gaming or forex company? Sooner they ban them from sponsoring sport the better.

villa4europe Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thinking about it since I posted that, I know maybe 10 PL sponsors, I can picture the shape of spurs sponsor but I don't know who they are, I know baggies are sponsored by a boiler company, blues might be 888 (?) And there are about 3 teams sponsored by 32red (Leeds, preston) worst of all I know ours are a golden W but I don't know who the company are, not even sure of our sponsors full company name And I will remember the sponsor of a team who don't even have the name on their shirt Its some clever shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a lot of Asian betting companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I could barely name a sponsor of another company - the logos are basically blind spots on shirts that I ignore, but I'll totally remember that Huddersfield are sponsored by Paddy Power.

I think that's the surprise, PP are well established here, not sure why they need to try and get the exposure a championship club offers Unless they tested the market and thought a yo-yo-ing Huddersfield offered them the best potential value for a PL team The problem being the campaign they've started means that if they do get promoted they can't stick their name on a prem kit for the Asian and American markets Not sure what's actually in it for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I really dislike paddy power and other such companies that try and insinuate themselves into the 'banter' that occurs between football fans, as if they're your friend or something, when all they really want is for you to lose your money so that they can profit. I don't think what they've done with the Huddersfield shirts is a good thing either, yes it would be nice to have shirts without advertisments on, but with this 'stunt' they've even gone and managed to spoil that, as they've now they've branded the whole concept of sponsorless shirts with their name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all part of a campaign to get rid of shirt sponsors once and for all.......fair play to them. They've pulled a blinder there. "Going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market.

villa4europe Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 looks like they didn't tell macron, the home shirt has a larger middle banding designed for the sponsor and as a result now looks shit, away shirt works and looks good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
