Hull City ridiculed on Twitter for Flamingo Land deal

Hull City have endured ridicule on Twitter after revealing Flamingo Land as their new shirt sponsor.

On Friday, the Tigers announced that the North Yorkshire theme park - also the United Kingdom's most visited zoo - would feature on the middle of their 2015-16 shirt.

However, the announcement was met by a number of quips from Twitter users, who took the opportunity to poke fun at the club's decision.

@hullcity @flamingolanduk @skybetchamp I thought the new #NCFC kit was ugly but geez, you guys don't have a leg to stand on. Well... maybe one

Flamingo Land replaces betting firm 12 bet - City's former sponsor. Their new shirt will be released on Monday.

Steve Bruce's side, who were relegated to the Championship last season, kick off their 2015-16 campaign by hosting Huddersfield Town at the KC Stadium on August 9.
