The Rutherford Raiders of Keny university have been banned from wearing their new kit because it's sponsored by PornHub, a website none of us have ever heard of before.
The team initially had the logo put on their shirts as a joke, but the site have offered to sponsor them when they became aware of the stunt. Said Herrema:
However, the plan has been blocked by the spoilsport university authorities. Kent University spokesperson Martin Herrema said the Raiders would be banned from playing if they wore the kit on campus.
The University of Kent sports department would never sanction sponsorship of this type - it is totally inappropriate.
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.
Speaking to Kent Uni newspaper The Tab, a Raiders player said the team had difficulty finding a backer from the local area. He said:
We had a real problem with local sponsors not getting back to us and no establishment on campus co-operating.
Money was put in to make up for the sponsor and we had nothing to put on the front and for a laugh between the team that was what got put on the front.
