Title: Gray Nicolls Classic Range
Post by: Willowtwin on February 29, 2016, 10:09:00 PM: Hi guys,

I've recently invested in Gray Nics for the new season, their classic softs looked too good to miss!

I got a pair of Legend pads from Talent Cricket who were really good (and the pads are absolute quality by the way!) but needed the gloves in small mens. Found a pair of Prestige gloves on ebay from a distinguished seller for reasonably cheap with free p&p. They've come, and the sizing and feel of them is very good, but i'm slightly concerned about the colour.

They're a very noticeable off-white, much darker than the pads and don't seem to match! Was wondering if this was a general theme that other owners have noticed, or have i been conned into buying ebay fakes?!

Thanks

To be brutally honest it is 2 different ranges. Legends may well be designed to be pristine white where as Prestige might be a creamy colour. Maybe Jake from Vitas could help?

I'd say the legends are a tad darker if you compare both gloves to the white on the kaboom ones.

It nothing to worry about I have had a pair of prestige they are more grayier.

The bas players gloves are the same over the Mrf grand edition

Not sure it was gloves fault.

I sold them to @WalkingWicket37 who used them before he boycotted grays(nothing to do with the gloves)

Post by: Thesmiff on March 01, 2016, 11:17:06 AM: I've got some prestige gloves and they are an off white almost pale grey colour. I think the reason for this is the sausage glove from the 90's I had with the leather finger rolls ( all leather gloves, them were the days!) were a pale grey, so they've gone to replicate that look... And done a great job in my opinion
