Title: Does anybody remember ?????
Post by: ABello1 on March 04, 2014, 05:01:10 PM
Classic Bat Company     

If memory treats me well i think Trescothic and Lathwell used them early 90s

I was given a Butterfly limited edition by my club for certain atchievements during the season and think the bat is back in the club kit chest where any old kit not wanted is dumped

remember lots of people claiming to be fully sponsored by them but was prob about 10%  if i remember there prices

Nice bats - made by warsop - charged stupid prices (by those standards - by todays standards they would still not be cheap)

went bust.

Warsop kept the butterfly model as it was a lovely bat.

there is an example of one

there are a few other topics on here which talk about the Classic Bat company - try the slightly dubious search function!

Tresco was their posterboy.
Chris Broad was involved in some capacity.
Typical sponsorship was 30-60% which in all honesty probably only brought their prices down to just below where they should have been originally
