Huddersfield Town have been fined £50,000 by the FA after accepting a misconduct charge relating to a spoof kit worn during a pre-season friendly that was part of club’s controversial sponsorship with bookmaker Paddy Power.
Huddersfield had launched their new home kit in July featuring diagonal shoulder to hip Paddy Power branding that breached the FA’s strict regulations on shirt sponsorship.
That kit was subsequently worn for a friendly against Rochdale, before it was later revealed that it was a joke and publicity stunt, with Paddy Power’s deal actually seeing Huddersfield’s shirt be left completely free of any sponsor logos for the duration of the season.
