Title: Bat re-stickering?
Post by: patriotscreen on March 09, 2013, 12:11:24 AM
So I have this adidas club grade pellara and it's pretty much hideous. I don't like the sticker colours and the grains are huge so what kind of stickers can I buy that I can replace them with? I like minimal stickers which is a shame since the bat is ugly but I hate the adidas design and it's only a net/damp pitch bat so doesnt need to be AMAZING.

I have seen a few people's designs on here, Ryan has some lovely ones so I am curious as to how to get hold of something?

Thanks in advance guys!

there is a stickers thread mate, just look through some recent posts there and see if something looks good and still available...

That would make sense as to why I can't see them then! In good time I suppose! Spent this afternoon sanding and oiling the bat which has a nice profile actually. Going to re shape the shoulders I think, round them off a bit.

If you sticker your blnk bat as (for example) a GN, would you feel comfortable passing-off another brand?

I saw some cool stickers with semi-topless women on. More experienced forum members will fill in the blanks with detail.

It's not cool to pass-off.....It's cool to be sexist though!

Not really trying to 'pass off' another brand, I just think some stickers are more aesthetically pleasing than others. As it stands the bat has been sanded and left blank, will probably leave it that way.

I think we on this forum should not be afraid to admit that a bat, like most things, can look significantly better when dressed well.

Just look at how different stickers for a brand improve the perception of the quality of their equipment, when in reality it is the same.
