Kit

The 2013/14 season was the Club's first with technical kit supplier Puma, following the conclusion of the Club's deal with previous supplier Umbro. Rekorderlig Cider and Radian B continued their sponsorship of the home and away shirts, respectively.

The home shirt was a traditional blue and white stripes, complete with white shorts and black socks.[1] The away kit featured a black shirt with red sleeves, and was completed with black shorts and red socks.[2] On 2 August 2013, the Club announced the addition of an all-bright yellow third kit, to be worn the following day at Nottingham Forest.[3] Due to Thornton & Ross's sponsorship of away shirts, Town couldn't wear their Rekorderlig-sponsored home shirt away from home, so this shirt was deemed necessary for away games where black and red could not be worn. These shirts featured the sponsorship of Covonia, one of Thornton & Ross's brands, and 1,000 replicas were produced for sale with profits going to the Huddersfield Town Foundation.

During the course of the season, Alex Smithies wore four different coloured goalkeeper kits, all in the same Puma template.

On 24 June, after a noticeable lack of activity, Town made their first signing of the summer with Jon Stead returning to the club he left in January 2004 on a free transfer, after leaving Bristol City. Also joining Town on the same day was former loan signing Adam Hammill signed on an undisclosed fee from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The following day, Northern Ireland international Martin Paterson signed on a two-year deal following his release by Burnley. On 3 July, Norwich City striker James Vaughan, who had a successful loan spell the previous season, signed on a 3-year deal for an undisclosed fee. On 29 July, Town signed central midfielder Jonathan Hogg on a three-year deal from fellow Championship side Watford for an undisclosed fee. The following day, Spanish striker Cristian López signed from Atlético Baleares on a free transfer on a one-year deal, following a successful trial period. On 10 September, just as the loan window opened, Town signed Welsh international full-back Jazz Richards on a 93-day emergency loan from Premier League side Swansea City. As the loan window closed on 28 November, Town signed striker Harry Bunn on loan from Manchester City until 5 January 2014, mainly to be put into the team's development squad. He then cancelled his contract with City to sign a permanent deal with the Terriers on 20 January, until the end of the season. On 10 January, Town broke their transfer record in completing the signing of the Bermudan international striker Nahki Wells from Bradford City for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.5 million.
