I've been looking at the various brand catch lines, as the Kippax one caught my eye. How true do we think they are, and more importantly, is there more than meets the eye to them?
e.g. AllOutCricket - The magazine the cricketers read.... because we give it to them for free so they get seen on the telly reading it like Stuart Broad did...
Kippax Cricket - The home of the perfect handmade cricket bat that only bowlers seem to endorse
Gray Nicolls - Where tradition meets innovation but we're still cutting chunks out of bats like we were in the 70s!
Gunn and Moore - Intelligent Innovation at least in the way we make the bats, if not in their shapes
WHat do you see when you see this type of thing?
-
County - Making bats for centuries (except usually for other brands)
SG - Sans Parallel (except for Kokaburra which are the same with different stickers)
-
JP Gavan - Target performance
-
Aero cricket - the choice of Chris Martin
Spartan - the name in the game, only since we started throwing money at star players though.
-
B&S - Play With Belief
-
New Balance - buy our bats from B3
Slazenger - Use your Wonga loan to get 90% rrp
Newbery - Every pro in the world uses them
-
Lekka - because putting X's in front of words makes them better
-
Hammer - airmiles increase RRP
Gray Nichols - home of the legend(arily expensive)
Laver & Wood - weight gain guaranteed
-
Kookaburra cricket - finding new ways to concave cricket bats
-
CA bats : Baked to perfection
Solitaire : Punching above weight because we don't have a scale.
Aldred : Honesty sells.
-
Stuart Surridge - We are the only genuine SS since WW2...
-
Gunn and Moore - Your bat will get you runs! After 2 seasons use!
-
Spartan - New to the market and around longer than anyone can remember.
Slazenger - Synonymous with sport (and cheap bats) since 1888.
CA - Choose any profile you like as long as its the one profile all our bats look like.
Screaming Cat - because screaming bowlers sound the same.
Woodworm - because Apple put the i in marketing.
-
Kookaburra - 123 years of tradition, none of which exists anymore.
-
H4L - Sultans of Ping
-
Salix; Over charging since 1990

HH; Wow!
Can't believe it's a G3
Made by a genius.
I really do hope these don't offend anyone as it seems my posting a few of my normal thoughts on a couple of brands has caused a few people to cough on their cornflakes.

I don't really want to get in an argument with anyone, but fasteddie, your posts where you keep putting crap in brackets claiming to be sensored is getting old. Just enjoy the forum or leave it be mate, there are loads of people who enjoy being on here, me included, as it's an escape from reality and all the negativity of the world, and I get to read and talk cricket all day. If you have a beef fair enough but we don't need to know about it in all your posts.
Don't mean to offend anyone with this.
Anywho back to the original topic :)
-
He thinks Salix and HH are a waste of money, he thinks GN/GM are boring .....nothing wrong with that ..... Doesn't need deleting in my opinion
-
Never asked for anything to be deleted at all. Just the last half dozen posts from him have carried on about being censored. Point taken by now :)
-
His post from yesterday was deleted
-
Horse, dead and flogging are words that spring to mind when Fasteddie bangs on again about Salix. We all know his views its just that they are getting a bit stale - move on!
-
His post from yesterday was deleted
yes - because it was deliberately argumentative and when the argument came that was deleted to.
We acted harshly and swiftly because dealing with arguments is a pain in the backside and stopping them happen is usually easier.
If anyone thinks this was the wrong approach, please feel free to drop me a line to discuss.
please can this topic return to its subject... thanks

Well.... There goes another fun thread down the gurgler.
"Insert Brand Here" - The wood you stroke when you don't have wood!!!
-
"As used by Sachin Tendulkar" (every single brand ever!) :D

I wondered where the post went. I thought Fasteddie had second thoughts and the common sense to delete it himself. We get it mate, it is time to move on.
To get back on track and try and be as witty as the rest of you, the best I can do is....
Warsop - New and improved!!!! No not really. We still do the same thing which is make more than decent bats for a more than decent price which is more than good enough for us mortals. It's just we don't shout about it.

Lekka - clearing all boundaries (of lies, deceit and poor customer service)
