48 hours 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.
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.
