HUDDERSFIELD, England — It was not just the size of its new fan base that caught Huddersfield Town by surprise this summer, but the size of its new fans.
Early in July — little more than a month after the club had secured entry to the Premier League’s promised land, and with little more than a month to go until it made its debut — Huddersfield revealed its jerseys for the season ahead.
Within two weeks, all three editions of the jersey had all but sold out — even though the shirts were available only through the club’s online shop and at one of its two stores here.
