English second-level club Huddersfield Town have been fined 50 000 pounds ($61 000) by the Football Association after a pre-season pack sponsorship trick exploded backward.
Fans were left muddled and furious when Huddersfield, consigned from the Premier League last season, uncovered in July another home unit highlighting a full length corner to corner white scarf wearing the name of wagering organization Paddy Power.
The group in this way wore the unit in a pre-season neighborly against Rochdale in which fans recited their objection.
Huddersfield, who later let it be known was an attention stunt and whose unit this season does not include the name of their support, were given an offense accusation as the shoulder to hip logo surpassed the FA's rules of 250 square centimeters.
"Huddersfield Town FC has been fined £50 000 and cautioned as to its future lead by an autonomous Regulatory Commission in the wake of conceding a charge in connection to The FA's Kit and Advertising Regulations," the FA said in an announcement.
Huddersfield apologized to their fans for the trick despite the fact that Paddy Power, who support the club, said at the time it had been done to feature the "holy" idea of club shirts which routinely have a patrons' logo put over the chest.
"Shirt sponsorship in football has gone excessively far," Paddy Power overseeing chief Victor Corcoran told the BBC at the time. "We acknowledge that there is a job for supporters around football, yet the shirt ought to be holy."
