New Umbro home kit to be worn in the 2019/20 season
- Huddersfield Town’s ACTUAL 2019/20 home kit is now on sale
- Produced by Umbro and backs Paddy Power’s ‘Save our Shirt’ campaign
- Comments from Commercial Director Sean Jarvis
Huddersfield Town's ACTUAL Umbro home kit that Jan Siewert’s side will wear throughout the 2019/20 season is NOW on sale!
After the first release of a home shirt that has been much-discussed amongst Town fans and the wider football community – and which was also worn in the pre-season win at Rochdale on Wednesday night – a blue and white striped shirt featuring no sponsor logo has now been revealed.
The shirt is part of Paddy Power’s new ‘Save Our Shirt’ campaign; an initiative that is backing a move towards unbranded football kits, effectively returning the shirt back to the fans.
As a result, Paddy Power has relinquished the space on the front of the shirt that the company would be due as title sponsor.
So yeah, our Huddersfield shirt WAS a fake. We're not just sponsoring them this season, we're UNsponsoring them too, through our Save Our Shirt campaign. #SaveOurShirt pic.twitter.com/5Q5XjQ9U2U

Huddersfield Town’s Commercial Director Sean Jarvis commented:
“We’re happy to support Paddy Power’s ‘Save Our Shirt’ campaign with the launch of our actual 2019/20 home kit this morning.
“It has been a very interesting two days’ since the original launch on Wednesday, which we expected, but we’ve always had in mind that our supporters would understand, and really like the real kit when it was properly revealed today.
“We’re really happy with this kit, which is unique in modern-day football. I’d like to thank Paddy Power, Umbro and everyone else involved in the kit for their hard work towards today.”
Paddy Power MD, Victor Corcoran, said: “Shirt sponsorship in football has gone too far. We accept that there is a role for sponsors around football, but the shirt should be sacred.
“So today we are calling on other sponsors to join the Save Our Shirt campaign, and give something back to the fans.
“As a sponsor, we know our place, and it’s not on your shirt.”
The actual 2019/20 home kit, produced by Umbro, features Town’s traditional blue and white striped shirt, combined with a new navy pinstripe and predominantly white arms.
Town’s crest appears where it traditionally does – above the heart – as a woven badge, with the famous embroidered Umbro logo on the opposite side.
The navy colour from the pinstripe also features on the neck detailing, whilst the names and numbers that appear on the back of the shirt will be in the same colour too.
The accompanying shorts and socks are both white, as previously shown.
The new home kit is now on sale to supporters online at htafcmegastore.com and in both the Stadium Superstore and Packhorse Centre store.
The 2019/20 adult home shirt is priced at £48, with junior shirts at £38 and baby kits at £33.
Shorts begin from £20 for juniors, with socks starting at £10 for juniors.
Name printing is £5, with numbers being added for another £5. Sleeve badges are available in adult sizes, also priced at £5.
