Title: Help me identify a brand please
Post by: Beachcricket on July 04, 2011, 10:12:57 AM
I went to watch Sandiacre play the West Indian Cavaliers in the national knockout, was a great game of cricket. However I was able to identify all the bats except one brand, at first I thought it was a CF but once the batsmen got to the crease it clearly wasn't.

The stickers were very minimalist, with a lot of bare wood. The branding could have been a W, HH or a picture of a trident. I just couldn't see that far >:(, does this ring any bells? The colours were black and silvers, no bright colours.

Apologies for how staggeringly vague this is but it could be a new brand.  ???

Trident could be the brand and owned by a chap called Carlos Brathwaith from Barbados. (pic above)

It was circular but looked like a W, it's bugging me so much. I've been looking at every bat brand and photo I could think of that may help.

I've checked their website and nothing looks similar, there were a lot of Hawk bats on display but again their stickers are coloured.

Sorry to hijack this thread but i saw a brand i didnt recognise a couple of weeks ago, and was going to start a similar thread, was wondering if someone could try and guess it from what i can remember of it.

The bat was covered in stickers which were gold, with what looked like Fii on the front, i thought it was fila or something at first, anyway the bat looked asian made and the pads had a weird design to them, think the model name was 'pro' as it was printed on the side. Any ideas?

Do a rough drawing of it and post it here, someone's bound to recognise it then.

I would guess this brand, a brand sold and owned by Ace Sports in Burton. They sponsor Jake Needham, who was a few years back a Sandiacre player.

Okay, given that I was quite a distance away this is rough and the W could have been and H. I quite like the drawing though so maybe I'll start a brand that looks like this.  ;)

The small rectangle was text and the stickers covered barely 1/4 to 1/3 of the blade. On the back down the spine was a dagger shaped sticker that was perhaps 8 inches long.

Sadly too colourful. My drawing is just a guess at what I could see. Heritage cricket looks the closest, the stickers were simple. I couldn't see any colours apart from black and silver and they were basic lines, very minimalist.

I'm sure Carlos can confirm with his latest pictures of cricket bats if it is Trident.
