Title: NB 2016/17 maybe?
Post by: JG on April 08, 2016, 03:41:17 PM
Following on from a post I made regarding exclusives from Players Sports NZ, I got a snapchat from their story depicting the new balance range for the forthcoming season over there... What do you all reckon. Big, big fan of the DC stuff!

(http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah74/Joshua_Gurney/FCA2E615-2C9D-47E3-9068-59A798257F2B_zps5cuzfgnr.png) (http://s1377.photobucket.com/user/Joshua_Gurney/media/FCA2E615-2C9D-47E3-9068-59A798257F2B_zps5cuzfgnr.png.html)

Not many changes other than the pad design for the DC range and obviously the colour schemes

Yes i have seen the red/orange colourway as a sample, but no idea if it or the other range will come to the UK.

Based on the whole NB range to date being largely the same worldwide, i suspect the UK will get the same gear as the photo.

Shame the designs are identical, colour schemes are decent but was hoping for something a bit different!

This will be their 3rd year doing the exact same bats, right?

Apart from the colours and a few changes to the labels (embossing etc) they've all been the same. But then again if people are buying more bats than ever then why change!

Only me that liked the White and Red Finch stickers? Would kill a man for a TC1260 in Finch's colours...

Not fussed on Red and Orange, Navy isn't bad... Don't like Fluorescent on anything really though.

Check eBay. There is one listing for a red/white NB TC1260 2.8lb.

I liked the orange/black color scheme on DC1080. Why did have to change colors on DC1080 now ???

Just me or wouldnt white with black letters (opposite tonyhe Pro Direct) look really nice?

Resisted so far, if they ever bring out the DC in some kind of emerald green with white letters I will be forced to buy one!

Have just placed our 2017 NB order (it used to be that GN were deemed to be early for the industry with June launches to retailers, but NB have beaten that by a fair distance!)

I can't show any imagery but the pictures in this topic are genuine, the shoes stick with the current red colour, but some of the shoe models incorporate the blue/yellow colourway

Overall no drastic changes but sure to be a popular range

Why the heck did they change DC1080 color scheme ?? It was pretty good !!

Looks like the range is starting to trickle through in Australia, looks like they're making WK gear now as well

Best place to mention it, but having emailed the UK NB webstore the other day it looks like the whites will be made available here around February 2017 which doesn't surprise me. Looked at ordering from the Oz website but with postage/import etc you're looking at £80 odd for a shirt and trousers. Ah.

Just at Surrey v Glos now and Finch is using one of the new TC1260s. The stickers are so bright its unbelievable

They looked too bright to be those new ones. Looked like the old blue and yellow ones

Looks like they're introducing some more bags as well

I'm not sure about them not be duffles.

I actually really like that orange bag, the 2017 NB stuff grows on me every time I see it

I should add they appear to be wheelies, just doesn't look like obvious. Top one looks like an absolute beast

Think the top 2 are actually the same design, just different colours - both look very good however.

Glad to see NB are making a proper go of cricket though, they've certainly done more than Adidas/Puma ever have IMO (ignoring Adidas shoes and clothing that is).

Adidas have been poor other than the boots, Puma have been great with softs though! Actual design innovation and consistently some of the best softs on the market, particularly pads.

One of those new balance bags is 140x40x40

Finally a bag that might be big enough for me :)

We got the Blue NB bags in today, look very good in the flesh, it's not the 140cm ( which is massive for an individual bag )

Darker blue this time to the original lighter blue and yellow(black and orange in between)

Red has morphed from red and white to red and yellow and now red and orange.

Excellent, might get myself a cheap DC if they look decent, always loved the NB Stickers.

Any news on NB whites??

Bag related but does anyone have the jumbo trolley currently available here? I love my Supernova duffle but am thinking about throwing money away for when I'm travelling slightly further for games.

Post by: dcullen8 on August 09, 2016, 03:41:33 PM
That is one hell of a colourway on the TC top end pads, they will divide opinions for sure.
@benparkinson1 without seeing these in the flesh, id hazard a guess that they will be equal to those provided by GN, kook, GM, Ton, salix etc. No doubt will be as good as the rest of their ranges.

Put a few pics up on our facebook page, bags look classy in the flesh, not cheap though unfortunately.
