I am really happy with how well the new graphics have come out. The spears on the Assegai look great with the chrome detail.
-
All over the 3*, although the impi profile is lovely
-
Like the front stickers to both the assegai bats but much prefer the Impi bat shape.
-
The shape on the Impi! Spine spine spine!
-
Real shame they don't do an Impi 3 star!
Presume the 3 star bats are grade 3 and are quite concaved?
-
The Impi will be in the 'michael clarke' shape that we have seen from B&S before. No concaving and huge.

The Assegai 5 Star i haven't seen the shape of in the flesh yet. Assegai 3 Star will be in the shape of the current Scorch:

The IMPI has no spine and the three star ASSEGAI is grade 2 willow it does have concave to it but not huge it's basically the scorch shape
-
Impi looks really strong. Sucker for that shape and the purple branding looks good. Zulu naming is also a top idea.
-
B&S will entertain the idea of a three star IMPI if the demand from you Guys and the GENRAL public so requires if you prefer the ASSEGAI 5 star but want the IMPI stickers we will also accommodate but this will only be for the top end bats
-
wow, I think I might be in love. At least until the inevitable heartbreaking news that they don't do long blades!

Gonna stick my neck out here and say we should be able to get a long blade made up for you :)
-
Oh no my wallet is in fora hammering this winter
-
Your neck is safe Jake long blade no problem
-
The assegi 5 star looks lovely. Will you be sticking these jake?
-
Bats look amazing, but have to say I think I preferred last year's stickers, even though I thought they were too bold at first.
-
Probably a controversial or unpopular opinion, but I prefer the stickers from the season just gone to the new ones.
-

Absolutely, we'll be stocking the full range. In the past few weeks I have been trialling the wicket keeping gear for next year too, very nice.

Hi Jake,
Sorry to say I am not keen on the 2015 stickers. However the performance and value for money of B&S bats are simply awesome.
Quite exciting to see the new profiles but would like to see a minimal sticker option for the higher grades show the quality of willow. Is engraving still an option? I seem to remember this was discussed on a thread earlier in the year.
-
All opinions good or bad are most welcome where possible we try to please as many people as possible we also hope to learn through all good and bad comments
-
Sticker wise, I'm personally really liking the Assegai, but find the Impi a bit busy and the Zulu figure a little undefined. Overall IMO they're a big improvement on last seasons designs.
My only small gripe is the toe stickers, which feels a bit repetitive.
The profile of the Impi is also my favourite.
Well done guys :)
-
At the end of the day engraving costs were too high so no no engraving for 2015 the front stickers compared to most brands this year are quite small so you do get to see a very full sticker free blade which I agree does make a bat look good at your request B&S or Vitas will sticker your bat any which way you desire
-
Hats off Gary impressive stuff - both profiles look spot on and will be great to see in the flesh. Personally I'd go minus a couple of the stickers for a more minamilist look but everyone's different. I think the key is to make the branding standout from others out there.
Could I enquire a little on the profiles please - the Assegai with the more fuller profile for the batsmen among us who need a big sweet spot how does it compare to this years LE ST profile? Cheers!
-
I have to say I am a real fan of this years branding - it is a step forwards. What will the weight ranges be of the bats and how do they pick up?
-
I think last year's Scorch was/is my favourite stickering and branding.
However, as soon as I can pretend my current bat has gone, I'll still be getting a B&S.

Hi Shane, engraving was looked at, deemed expensive though. We may do it for some one offs/specials. And of course if anyone wants to pay a little extra to have a B&S with the engraving we can of course look at it.

Particularly like the Assegai 5* stickers, stands out nicely without being too loud. Shapes for the higher end ones look great also, why the change of shape for the 3 star bat?

Probably to keep the weight down, especially for denser clefts. Most popular bat weights are between 2.7 to 2.9, so makes sense!
As usual, the shapes are amazing, and a bat under 100 notes? Great value for money! I am not quite such a fan of the stickers though, the Assegai is okay, but not such a fan of the Impi stickers. I quite like the colour of the Impi though, would have been a nice colour to add to the same style as last year's stickers imo! Also, didn't realise how much I liked the Scorch stickers until I saw them again the other night!
-
Sticker wise, I'd probably have to say I prefer last years ones, but I really like the traditional look of these. Also I thinks its refreshing to see a bat without stickers plastered all over the edges! Keep them clean!!
-
I will repeat what lot of ppl have already said here, I think last year stickers looked much better. This sticker don't look very professional..to be very honest.
-
As mentioned earlier some people will like the new stickers some won't professionally B&S make sure all there products meet a high standard which we feel has been achieved for 2015 we do realise that's it's not everyone's cup of tea
-
I personally like the stickers. There a good mix tot he bog block, bright colours most go for. They have some artistic flair to them.
I was in love with the Impi, it looked an impressive meaty profile, but having looked again, it's profile shot cuts off the top 6 inch of the bat(look at the stickers) which to me gives a false look into the profile.
Makes it looks a lot lot bigger, and more impressive than it actually is. Hope that wasn't done to fool people.
-
The photo of the profile is exactly that the PROFILE we are not in this Buisness to fool people I can assure you
-
Big hand to B&S on this range some really well thought out pricing, the softs look great as do the bats. The stickers don't seem to be everyones cup of tea but i like your idea behind them, again shows some thought went into them. I'm looking forward to the pics when jake gets the bats in. Hope the range does well,its right up there on my list of next purchases.

Could not disagree more. I have never considered a B&S before and I'm doing so now based purely on the stickers.
One of the best looking line of bats out there and a massive upgrade on last years stickers.
-
fantastic work on the stickers, miles better than last year, imo the best price points out there. didnt think much of B&S last year but credit where credit is due that is a top effort and my favorite release of 2015 models so far. Top work to all involved
-
Awesome stickers on IMPI Warrior. Love the purple/pink theme. They'd look great with the purple softs.
Love the profile on IMPI too.
-
I think the new range looks great across the board and the shape of the Impi is superb.
Prices, particularly for the softs, seem almost unrivalled. Looking forward to taking a good look at them when they are in stock.
Good work!
-
I think the new stickers are a massive improvement. Not a huge fan of the Impi stickers (a bit too busy and pink for me) but I think the Assegai ones are awesome.

Any chance they could provide full profile shots - that would be the 'money shot' for many on here I think!

Soon dearest Brucie, soon.
I will take them myself when i get my mitts on the bats, that is unless of course i receive some photos before.
-
are the b and s stickers attatched to the assegai stickers do you know?
-
I love the stickers. Especially the assegai!
Shame I'm on a bat buying ban (apparantly being capable of shaping my own means I'm not allowed to buy bats anymore!) That and my new hobby is costing a lot of money at the moment!
-
Almost wish I waited a year to get my B&S stickers look amazing. Bat quality is even better though :)
-
5 star Assegai photo added.
-
Uuuhmmm..... Clears throat for best Darth Vader impression:
Impressive, most impressive!

I'd love to see this as well. One with all the bats together in the same shot would be great.

Requested full profile pics hopefully photographer sends today

OH MY OH MY OH MY!! lovely face on the 5* and Impi
looking forward to the profile pics :)

Liking the Impi more and more! When will you be getting these in store?
Thank you for the quick turn around on the profile photos.
-
You and me both Brucie!
Late October time hopefully. Will know more in the coming week or so.
