Jul 17, 2019, by Chris
Huddersfield Town debuted their controversial new joke home kit with the massive PaddyPower sponsor sash in tonight’s (Wednesday) pre-season match at Rochdale. However, the while the club may be able to wear it in a friendly, it is forbidden by kit rules in EFL and all other important English FA competitions, which confirms that it is just a joke...
Every avid follower of our website should know that Huddersfield's PADDYPOWER Sash kit is not allowed by kit rules and therefore 'a joke'. We nevertheless take a closer look at the case.
FA Forbids Sponsors Like PADDYPOWER's Sash
A view in the official kit rules of the English FA reveals that there are strict rules regarding shirt sponsorship. The front of shirt sponsor is not allowed to exceed 250 cm², and is also not allowed to be placed as as Sash. The sponsor logo has to be placed on the chest area, in fact.
Additionally, Umbro did not say anything about the kit yet, another clear indicator that it is 100% a marketing gag of PaddyPower.
Huddersfield Town’s Commercial Director Sean Jarvis said: “The kit launch is a big day for many supporters, who are keen to see what the team will be running out in during the coming season. 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 – and this new ‘sash’ style logo is a footballing first, continuing our reputation as being innovators.”
Already when announcing the kit deal, PADDYPOWER said in their press statement that they "will bring some bite and bark to The Terriers".
PADDYPOWER Brand Marketing Director Michelle Spillane said: “We are excited to announce that we are Huddersfield Town’s shirt sponsor this season, our first foray into shirt sponsorship. They’re a club which, first and foremost, value their fans and know what it means to be a football supporter. We’re confident this deal will bring some bite and bark to The Terriers’ upcoming season.”
It is pretty simple to know that the kit is a joke by PaddyPower for 'bright heads', but nevertheless a good joke by PaddyPower, at least we think so.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
