Huddersfield Town unveil shocking ‘new kit’ featuring Paddy Power sash

Don't worry Terriers fans, it can't possibly be real... can it?

Huddersfield Town have unveiled their new home kit - but all is not as it seems.

The Terriers, relegated from the Premier League last season, recently inked a sponsorship deal with Paddy Power and the bookmaker's name features heavily on the strip.

Fans didn't take too kindly to the design - featuring a bold Paddy Power sash - when it was released on social media on Wednesday.

The club's commercial director Sean Jarvis explained: “We’ve gone for a really modern twist on how we feature the famous Paddy Power logo.

"Paddy Power is a very forward-thinking, innovative company – that’s one of the main reasons that we’re so excited to work with them – the new ‘sash’ style logo is really eye-catching and helps maintain our reputation as being innovators too."

It's certainly an official-sounding release but, given Paddy Power's penchant for pranks, we're not taking it seriously.

Under FA regulations, sponsors' names on a shirt can only be a maximum size of 250cm squared so, sadly, it looks like the sash will have to go.

Huddersfield supporters will certainly hope it's just a joke...
