Huddersfield Town have been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for playing in their fake Paddy Power-sponsored kit.

The Terriers wore the blue and white striped design - featuring a large sash with the bookmakers' name - in their pre-season friendly at Rochdale last month.

It was before the kit was revealed as a prank and part of Paddy Power's Save Our Shirt campaign - in which they have backed a number of clubs to play without main sponsors on their colours.

Town were initially asked for their observations on wearing the kit and submitted those to the FA.

Town have now been notified they are being charged with misconduct and have a week to respond, should they wish to do so.

Having already made their representations to the governing body, it's unlikely Town will make further comment. They are judged to be in contravention of FA Regulation C.2(i) - appertaining to kit and advertising rules.

The large sash Town wore was far larger than is allowed and, while the match was a pre-season game, it still falls under the auspices of the FA.

Town are likely to face a fine for stepping out of line, even though the shirts raised around £30,000 for local charities when auctioned off.
