A Hooters restaurant has become the kit sponsor of an under-10s boys football team.
The Nottingham branch of the controversial US chain, where workers are famous for wearing revealing uniforms, announced its support for Burton Joyce on social media.
Two staff members got kitted out in tracksuits and went to meet some of the young footballers, taking time to pose for pictures with them.
The restaurant posted snaps of the visit online and wrote: “Hooters Nottingham are proud to be the new sponsor of Burton Joyce U10s football team. We wish you all the luck this season boys.
“Go smash it.”
The news of the sponsorship attracted cheeky comments from male fans online. One wrote: “I’m guessing that ALL the dads showed up for this match.”
Another said: “Bet the end of season do is going to be a sell out with dads and dads’ friends.”
One joked: “The attendances are up by 90%.”
And another commented: “Keep your eyes on the ball lads.”
Hooters is famous for its chicken wings dishes served up by waitresses wearing hotpants and tight white T-shirts with the chain’s logo emblazoned across them.
The Nottingham restaurant is currently the UK’s only branch but plans to open a restaurant in Salford, Gtr Manchester, were confirmed in June after protests from a feminist group.
