We\u2019re delighted that The Well are joining in the fun for the upcoming campaign and we\u2019ve been impressed with their ability to keep their involvement top secret, despite all the noise of the past week. We\u2019ve been planning this with them for months. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal is seemingly identical to the one the bookmakers have with Huddersfield, as Paddy Power are now Motherwell\u2019s title sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>As their main sponsor, the operators are entitled to utilise the front-of-shirt for sponsorship, however, the \u2018unsponsored\u2019 kits will have no Paddy Power logo whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>Motherwell chairman\u00a0<strong>Jim McMahon<\/strong>, thanked the operator for their support, commenting: \u201cPaddy Power are forward thinking and innovative, and it is a mark of how our fan-owned club is perceived in the world that we were able to attract such a high-calibre partner. We thank them for their support and look forward to working with them over the course of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Save Our Shirt campaign has certainly sparked discussion within the football community, with a multitude of mocked up \u2018unsponsored\u2019 kits appearing throughout social media.<\/p>\n<p>As was said when the Huddersfield announcement was made, Paddy Power concluded by stating: \u201cWe know our place, and it\u2019s not on your shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"author__bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"comment\">Comment<\/label><br \/>\n<textarea aria-required=\"true\" cols=\"45\" id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" placeholder=\"Message\" rows=\"8\"><\/textarea><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"author\">Name<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"author\" name=\"author\" placeholder=\"Name...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"name\">Email<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Email...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"url\">Url<\/label><input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" placeholder=\"Website...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-cookies-consent\"><input id=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" name=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"yes\"\/> <label for=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.<\/label><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit\"><input class=\"submit\" id=\"comment-submit\" name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"\/> <input id=\"comment_post_ID\" name=\"comment_post_ID\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"5813\"\/> <input id=\"comment_parent\" name=\"comment_parent\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motherwell\u00a0of the Scottish Premier League, have joined\u00a0Huddersfield Town\u00a0in becoming the second professional football team to joinPaddy Power\u2019s Save Our Shirt\u00a0campaign.
