University of Kent football team Rutherford Raiders have been stripped of their kit by the establishment’s hierarchy, after securing adult website PornHub as their sponsors.

The Raiders were struggling to find sponsors for their new kit and jokingly mocked up shirts with PornHub’s logo splashed across the front.

But when the website’s bosses saw the pictures, they offered to sponsor the shirts for real.

However, the University put a swift end to the deal and even threatened to ban the team from their inter-college league.


‘The University of Kent sports department would never sanction sponsorship of this type – it is totally inappropriate,’ said spokesman Martin Herrema.



‘The team has been spoken with and will not be allowed to wear the shirts in question at any time.

‘We take this issue very seriously and inter-college sports teams, which are the responsibility of Kent Sport, must present any potential sponsorship and/or logos for approval.’

But unsurprisingly, the team take a slightly different view.

‘We are struggling to see why they are having a problem,’ said one of the players. ‘The university cricket team are sponsored by Kingfisher, which is also an age-restricted product.

‘In my opinion the decision is made by people in Kent Sport that are out of touch with what’s socially acceptable.

‘It’s hard for football teams to find a sponsor. Both Kent Sport and Rutherford refused to give us any money.

‘Clearly Pornhub did because there’s was an opportunity to create a bit of attention.

‘I personally haven’t come across anyone yet that has found it anything other than funny.’
