Imagine knocking about in that embarrassing top in match days 😄 I mean how much would a club like Huddersfield really get from a shirt sponsor when they have probably just pocketed £75 Million or whatever from a parachute payment for being relegated.

Great for Paddy Power and fits with their brand, but not sure what Huddersfield and Umbro get from it though other than that strip still showing up in lists of worst strips for decades to come, joke or no joke.

I've said this before in years gone by, the amount that we get just seemed too small to justify whoring out our shirt. I remember the wonga deal was worth just into 6 figures per year - about 1% of our current turnover. Our shirt's worth much more than that, I'd rather have it blank than sell it cheaply. Of course that stance changed a bit when STC came on board. I'd still prefer if it was blank, but if there's got to be something on there at least it's a good cause.

Nookie Bear Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Huddersfield are a club with a fine tradition and it’s disappointing to see them accommodating an online gambling firm in this way, even as an obvious joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a place for shirt sponsors, as long as they use a logo that blends in with the shirt they're putting it on. There are some sponsors that are iconic, like O2 and Arsenal, Vodafone and Man United and Newcastle Brown Ale and (obviously) Newcastle United. Those shirts looked good, because the logos didn't clash with the shirt design. However, when shirts have a huge obnoxious, colour clashing heap of shite plastered across them, then they are ruined. If companies keep it simple, plain white text with a complimentary colour scheme for any graphic based logos, then they're usually alright. Ukio Bankas and Save the Children have been good sponsors for us, because they are minimalistic, plain sponsors. Wonga, not so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Green Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I like shirts with no sponsor. Very good PR stunt and the teams get a nice classy shirt to play in with no horrible logo ruining it. Shame it's a bookies that's running it 😂 While I'd love more sponsorless Hearts shirts our current sponsor is fine by me due to it being a charity and the logo being small in comparison.
