Title: What would you call your bat?
Post by: Wide Chaser on January 22, 2013, 09:10:17 PM
We have seen some great names, strange names and some bad names of bats over the years. If you was a bat maker, what would you call your bat? Ill go first.....

The Spitroaster, it will blow bowlers all over the front of the wicket, and streakishly smash them behind the wicket

I'd name my range after nuts.

Pecan
Chestnut
Peanut

Then I'd bring out a range of bat sleeves and call them nut sacks.

Toro Y Moi - The Bull & I

It translates as 'Bull' in Spanish and 'Me' in French, i like it as its represents the relationship between a batsman (I) and his bat (The Bull).

It also happens to be my favourite musical artist!

Bit deep I know ha

I've been telling Hunts to release the 'Hunts Bunter' for a while now.

My personal blades are generally named after girls, I think of them in the same way Nic Cage thinks of cars in Gone in Sixty Seconds.

I thought up a whole range based on stars. Was going to have.

DarkSTAR with black graphics

FireSTARter with red flame graphics

STARstruck in chrome/silver

And for juniors the SuperSTAR in red/blue/yellow a la the man of steel

Back when KP was sponsored by Woodworm and Red Bull I thought they should have had a Bulldozer, a Woodworm bat in the red/blue/yellow colour way of the Red bull branding

Something to that effect I would imagine...

Although maybe a bit cheesy , I would call the company Noble Cricket then name all the bats after the noble gases  :). Unfortunately a couple of them are taken anyway though  >:(. Do gm copyright the names of their bats such as gm argon? ;)
