Are....simply awful! They've just released the below on their facebook page

The Insignia and Caerulex both remain in the range for those of you wanting something a little less neon.
-
Something for you to get @WalkingWicket37 lol I know you love the bats

thank you, I think what you mean to say is any of us old people still stuck in the '80's are catered for
great bats County.....the new style is 'out there' :)
-
Does the orange one reflects the number of runs one is expected to make?
-
Looks like they are trying to appeal to the new generation with all the colors....but seriously they need a new designer. Even a contest on this forum will result in better color combo.
And the stickers are so colorful that they don't go with the wood shavings background.
-
I'm not sure a bat called Xero (presumably pronounced zero) is a great idea (although I could claim it was my own range....) :-[
-
Loose the ones down the blade towards the toe and they'd look alright, it's just a bit much with all of them on there
-
NEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!

and also the triangle ones. After this, they are not so bad :)
-
They're a bit bright even for me!
Although I will say each time I see them they grow on me, bit marmite I guess!

the A?JRA is an concoughany of confusing colours. I genuinely think it would distract the slips as you slashed at the ball short and wide outside off stump. everyone needs an edge.. are there matching softs? ;-)
@WalkingWicket37 i know you've already posted but you should be tagged multiple times in a post of this type ;-)

It's the Aura, and I have those softs! ;)
(Unsure if they're being updated from this year's though)

Maybe Targeting a young market
-
Sometimes I feel like when they design new stuff, Hunts start from the point of view of 'well, we're not going to sell many anyway...' Can't be that hard to find a decent graphic designer, and can't help but think a good one could take a look at Hunts' branding over the years and come up with something top notch.
-
they make some of the best bats out there.
but your right, I just wish.........oh sod it, im ordering the purple,green,black,blue and yellow one with the orange,pick and black handle.
youth market? you're looking right at it
safe bro
-
I agree, I used their bats back in the 90's when they sponsored a team mate. But the designs and colours put me off these days. Of course I may just be getting old.
-
I don't get how this 'funky neon colours' is supposed to attract the young market....
Isn't it just a bit... lazy.... to suggest that because something is bright pretty colours it's going to attract somebody 13-19? (I assume that is their target audience)
-

You appear to have spelt "Yuuufff" wrong, old bean! ;)
Kook Ghost seems to be selling well amongst said Yuuufff. Not exactly luminescent.
-
I actually quite like them, put a white grip and will be a lot better, think the grips are too much

Good point...maybe too much generalising going on here.
Thinking back to 18 years old i dont think the stickers on a bat would of made me buy a particular model.
Its a long time ago but probably i would of looked at what older guys i played with were using.
Back then(i think) four or five had SS jumbos(great bats)
Theres a few young guys in my team ive never asked them what makes them buy a particular bat..maybe I will 😀
-
Labels don't matter when their bats are as good as they are. Their softs are a bargain for what you get and the people at Hunts County are a delight to deal with.
I've seen the shapes and they're great, far better than the muck some of the other brands are peddling.
-
I think people choose brands on the perception of the brand itself, rather than its individual products. Or atleast I do.
If you wanted me to bundle the big players, I'd probably go:
Yuuufff:
NB
Kook
GM
Spartan
Oldies:
GN
M&H
Newberry
Salix
Inbetweeners:
SS-Ton
H4L
B3
Other Custom (Red Ink et all.)

Yikes. Any pics of the front of the bats?. Less is more for me, the retro branding is spot on. Dont understand all these fancy colours for every new line. Ok maybe for 1 is fine but i would have loved to have seen a simple modernised target/stag stickers. Or something just a a bit less generic and err bright. The names arent really very good either.

But does your Labrador like them? ;)
I think they're gash........

Popped into Hunts on the way home, the stickers are not as bright as they seem in the pictures, I actually like them up close.
Matt had one of Roots old Gm's in a rather bartered one, but it was massive, also very light but a very soft press, balls flew off it though.
-
I've now seen the new stickers in the flesh.
They're a lot better in person that the online pictures. They're fully embossed and have some lovely detailing, they won't be everyone's cup of tea but I'm a big fan.

Here is the bat I've just got back from Hunts with the new stickers on.

While rather bright they are lovely in the flesh, and much better than the pictures Hunts County posted on social media suggested.
They are fully embossed, and the detailing is absolutely wonderful.

As well as the embossing, the clear sections on both the front and back have a beautiful pattern in that can only be seen when the light hits it at a certain angle.

And just for comparison here are two Auras.
I was a fan of both last years stickers and the new ones. While they didn't get a great response straight away on here, looking at the two side by side you can see there is an improvement on last years design
