Well I'm new to this forum so not too sure where to put this topic, but this seemed a reasonable enough place.
With the cricket season just weeks away, I'm looking to get some new kit in and not entirely sure what to get, and wondering if anybody had some good suggestions? I'm open to any ideas. I was wondering if anybody knew of brands which might do some kind of discounts/sponsorship etc.
Hope somebody can help me out. :)

You play for Suffolk county
-
Yes I do Roco, Suffolk YC under 17's county team. Why? :)
-
Just wondering so that's minor county not a bad standard
-
go and have a chat to choice - they, presumably must be one of your nearest suppliers...
-
Don't know about sponsorship but plenty of decent kit about but it depends on budget as having tried most of the bats off here there is some quality kit about
-
When looking for sponsorship you must see it from the companies point of view. No offence intended but you are not going to be able to promote their brand very well. I would try smaller named brands, as Kookaburra and other leading brands will give you something like 40% of RRP, which is just the same as what you can get from a normal shop.
Just try and bargain with a smaller brand, and purchase all your kit from them. You should be able to get a good deal.
-
Yeah I'm not looking for a sponsorship to be honest, as i'm not good enough just looking for good deals price for quality wise. I'll look at the smaller brands and go from there, thanks :)
-
Look at the sponsors section of the forum. Try them, they are smaller brands that produce quality goods. I believe Instict were looking to sponsor people
-
have a word with tom @ ayrtek sure he might give u a good deal if u play minor county
-
Jnr minor county players any way simmy
-
What have they offered you then out of interest?
-
There's 10% off saf gear atm. Go with what you think will give you the best gear, not who gives you the most money off
-
Thanks, that's what I'll do!
I want to see what kit i could get at the lowest price, as I don't have tons of money to spend on gear. :/
That's why I was asking whether people could recommend good gear? :)
-
Shark cricket do sponsorship
-
What sorta budget do you have? And what offers have you had? Might help people make suggestion...
Personally I'm a big fan of H4L, also really like the look of redback and ayrtek softs although haven't seen them in the flesh.
-
Most of the "offers" are 40-50% discount off.
I don't want to/can't afford the £250 bat, £70 pads, £50 gloves...
-
Woodstock are quite open to sponsorship
-
If you have that much to spend why do you need sponsorship?
-
As a company that gets a fair few requests we would like to think that the person we offer the sponsorship too is going to value it or are in need of it rather than purely to be johnny big balls at their prospective club giving it the "yeah im sponsored" line to all that will listen.
We play club cricket and iv overheard enough people in my time who have gone and purchased matching kit claiming to be sponsored lol
-
We've had a kid come to training with the horrible fake nike stickers on his bat claiming to be sponsored. His top score is at most 30 in an under 15 game.
-
Yeah it's funny when people say I'm sponsored ha
It is minor county mate as full county is first class but still a good standard
I have mostly matching kit
-
It does depend what you are after as I have mostly Ayrtek kit and is all top quality
-
Any brand on here will sort you out with a top-notch Bat, and those that do pads and gloves can do the same with them.
I suggest you think about which brand's stickers you like the most..and go from there. H4Ls gloves are great (I have them) and the bats have been raved about! So they're a good option, as are Ayrtek, SAF, Redback or Blue Room, to name a few...
-
Feel free to PM me with any questions you have about Blue Room :)
-
You get what you pay for unfortunately mate as £200 ish for a top of the range uk made grade 1 bat is about the norm now but you can pick up a bargain or two here and there
But if your on a tight budget maybe not go for the totr stuff ?
-
Your day only started an hour ago!! ;) But congratulations: a marvellous achievement! :)
Best of luck in your games this season! :D
-
Any update on this ?
What you decide to go for ?
