Title: 2014 Gear
Post by: Beaup123 on June 06, 2013, 10:04:21 AM
Thought I would start a topic for anyone has seen any of the new range of gear. Obviously the Asics shoes and some GM but is there anything else

The gear you're seeing now is 2013/14 Australian gear, it may/may not be released over here.

For Aus there's the new Puma Kit, Kookaburra, GM and GN gear all released.

When are the ranges expected to be released
Title: Re: 2014 Gear
Post by: Vitas Cricket on June 06, 2013, 11:39:57 AM
Gray Nics will launch their UK range to the trade next month, Powerspot expected to return, x181 also part of the range, talk of both Oblivion and Powerbow being dropped, but I'm not so sure.

E41 scoop also looking very likely to be arriving in the UK.

From Nike the new 2014 range includes the new shoe range - the Lunardominate (batting shoe), Lunaraccelerate (bowlign shoe) and the Potential (rubber soled shoe).  These will eb out in the UK before Christmas.

From Aero there will be our new KPR Vintage Wicketkeeping gloves - completely coated in silicone and guaranteed to improve your catching.  We've had oen season trialling these downunder adn have got them pretty much perfected. 

We've also got as few other new things up our sleeves, but are very much focussed on the new Nike shoes.

Strange that GN feel the need to launch their new range a whole two months earlier than everyone else - never really understood that...

New range from Nike sounds good - I like the look of them too - so I'm looking forward to getting those in.  Lovely Christmas presents they will make!  :)

Title: Re: 2014 Gear
Post by: cheese on June 11, 2013, 09:33:35 PM
So far the range looks like: Maverick, E41, Powerbow, Powerspot, Dynadrive? Scoop? Legend, A61? Oblivion? X181?
I have read rumours of the oblivion being dropped and hope they aren't true!
Not a fan of how the softs are looking but the Powerbow and E41 pads don't look so bad...

Som is and some isn't. Grays are actually one of the better brands for this, Kookaburra change their entire range every year.

Agreed - I understand GN are probably keeping the stuff they released last year for the 2014 season(except for the retro stuff), they usually have a 2 year turnover with their bats.

If they are going to go truly retro, the Powerspot has to have a blue grip - that's what I remember Gower and Atherton using...

Meuleman's in Perth has just posted these photos on their Facebook page of the latest XXX range from Gray Nicolls, which is exclusive to their store I believe.

Gray Nicolls XXX VII Concept Bat with 60mm edges (!!!!)

that must weigh a ton. 60mm edges - spine must be 80mm and looks like very little to no concaving. yes they have removed wood from the splice area but not that much. thats either a shorter blade, some miracle cleft or a heavy bat!

I doubt he will be using the oblivion range in the ashes series.....

Whats the point if grays are giving him a wedge to promote to new range in only the ct,  would make more sense to do it during the ashes too to get maximum publicity. 

More exposure, means more interest = more money for the manufacturer.

I wouldnt be surprised if alot of the players will be using new ranges during the ashes series to drum up exposure and keep people on edge for the range releases,   im pretty sure most companies have used the ashes before as a new range marketing tool

I'm guessing the pink gripped bat in the photo before this is also a Nemisis, the back stickers look like they could perhaps be accentuating an interesting shape?

Why should you be against a pink sticker set? Because people may think you're gay?

Maybe you're supporting breast cancer charties. Oh wait men won't be able to do that for the fear of being gay...

I think you have shown yourself to be of an immature nature with the previous comment.
