JackSWFC Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Just checked online and currently only the ‘Pro Fit’ version available at £99. Think I’ll wait for the Fat Fit version. Are the Elev8 sizes about right, or do I need to go up/down a size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA are actually asking Huddersfield for their "observations" on the kit, as it breaches the "one single area (of sponsor logo) not exceeding 250 sq. centimeters on the front of the shirt". I personally hope it gets banned, because not only do I despise the amount of unecessary betting advertising in sport these days, it's absolutely fugly. It'll still be all a publicity stunt I reckon, they'll have known they'd never get away with it. Mock up the design, play a friendly in it, get everyone talking about it... get told they can't have it, release the real kit, auction off the "fake" shirts. PP take any fall out as it's been a massively succesful marketing campaign for them, Huddersfield probably sell a fair few shirts (well as many as Huddersfield can) as fans are releieved the real shirt isn't this monstrosity. And ultimately Huddersfield Town will forever be known as the club who sold their soul for a Paddy Power joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowyowl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Buying the home and away without the sponsor today. Clever move by DC really, as if it looks decent with a sponsor I'll probably buy those versions later on in the season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Manwithastick Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Good numbers at the megastore. Sizes appear even even smaller than last year - brought the sons xl from last year and it’s a fraction (1/2 inch?) bigger than this years 2xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, we are talking about and I'm sure other fans of other clubs are too. The shirt is being shown on the club shop site but again, it could be part of the ruse. I feel there is way too much advertising for sports betting but PP do at least try and mix things up and stand out. And they do it well to be fair.

Jon Newsome Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) The shirts are made tight fitting for athletes, any fatties should stick to baggy clothing and get to the gym. Edited July 18, 2019 by Not Jon Newsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won't bother myself as I'm pretty rotund and don't feel comfortable in footy shirts anymore. Being a lot more rotund than yourself I considered not getting one But how am I going to wind up the Stone Island mob in the North stand if I don't buy one Ordered it this morning Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

BIG D Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Only problem with shirts without the sponsor on is that can look like knock off. I got the last promotion shirt without the VW on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash76 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I’m guessing no sponsor is because we had to waste a load of shirts that originally had it on but also carried ‘WAWAW’ somewhere on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players would surely have had the shirt with the sponsor on if that was the case? Not like any potential "WAWAW" would be visible on the release video/images - and even if it was, could easily be edited out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'pro fit' is what the players wear therefore that is the replica shirt. What you can buy for 60 quid is an imitation of the real shirt-its a rip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
