Good shout @Buzz

Jimmy the clubby Anderson
Isn't he already with adidas?
-
Isn't he already with adidas?
For shoes yes, bats pads etc he's with slaz
Would adidas be advertising an unveiling this much if it was Anderson? I'd say not!
I agree with @wayward_hayward - bairstow
-
I'm thinking it's Bairstow too. Plus he wears the same Help for Heroes wristband.
-
I'm gonna say johnny bairstow.
Mainly excuse someone told me that a few months back but I can't remember who. Lol
-
Another England player with a B3 made bat then?

I said about this without saying who it was a while ago.
It's Bairstow though, he's their new lead athlete for cricket similar to the KP deal. His is apparently a lifetime agreement just like David Beckham. He has a family member quite high up at Adidas which I'm sure helped smooth things over :)

bid deal this one. he's given GN pretty good exposure over the last year.
-
Slightly disappointed for some reason. Wonder who's gonna make his bats?

yes me too, not sure why
I dunno...i'd like to see England players using English Companies......
not saying they should all go out with hell for leather or salix, but GM maybe? or someone else
-

id hazard a guess at kippax with him being a yorkshire lad
-
I'm just shocked he's allowed spikes in the clubhouse.
-
Would rather JB use Gray Nics than Adidas but can't blame him for the move: Money, Excellent gears and good look!
-

B3 would be my guess as other Adidas bats 'could' be made there ......
-
I'd imagine so as I sent them in B3's direction previously as they weren't overly happy with the quality of Pro bats being supplied due to huge variation in profiles turning up from different sources.

I'll just leave this here

Softs look nice
-
Softs look nice
Yep, although i prefer split finger i really like the look of the gloves not seen those until now
-
like the branding on the bat too. any retailers stocking this range?
-
I would think so - I expect ProDirect might be a good place to start looking.
-
will have a browse!
thanks.
-
Has he got enough pairs of boots??
Could have broken into a smile too, I would if someone had just given me a load of gear
Softs look good as does the bat branding
-
Will be part of adidas photo all policy, you aren't even allowed to wear competitor brand kit to them behind the cameras let alone in front of it!

What about the helmet haning up :D

not a rival as i dont believe Adidas are having helmets produces with theyre name on anymore?

Yes we will be stocking the range, with availability from March 1st on both the bats and softs.

His bats will be made by SS.
-
It'll be called the YJB, yeah? Because he will always be YJB to me
-
His bats will be made by SS.
Think I'd rather have my bats made by Chris King at Robertsbridge, far more potential to be able to actually go in and help craft a perfect shape and a more personal experience. I guess money talks.
-
Likelihood is he can get them made wherever the hell he likes. Can't imagine Adidas really care as long as he doesn't flaunt that he's having them made by B3, Kippax, or whoever...
-

Well he's out in India in a couple of weeks time, so whatever can be done at Robertsbridge, B3 etc etc can also be done at the SS factory too.

Not according to most of the people on this forum lol
-
There's a lot of snobbery about Indian bats. But many professionals do prefer using them and believe they're better than what batmakers in the UK can offer.
-
I don't think its a matter of Indian bats being better or vice versa. The willow is exactly the same and ultimately thats a fundamental ingredient to the final product.
All of the various brands such as B3 etc over here make some great bats, as do overseas brands such as SS, SG and CA.
-
I think some people find the idea of exporting the willow and then importing it back a bit wasteful when we are fortunate to have some excellent makers here.
I ageee that no one country can claim to be the best makers though I understand that people want to support manufacturers in their own country.
-
On English vs Indian, a very good player of sadly limited test experience explained it to me thus... One is not better than the other per se, but if you want to use a product out of the wrapper, Indian made bats will give you a good time, if not a long one, whereas English bats take longer to play in.
Is he correct? Possibly, partly, in some circumstances. Such is the vagary of a natural product.

That is a good picture of a pro cricketer geared up - the (minimalist) branding is there but not jarring; emphasis on the sporting image and of course the young star.
Mr. Bairstow is rockin'!

Gloves look nice!

I've had some lovely bats that were made in England.
I've had some lovely bats that were made in India.
I currently have 4 bats that could potentially be my match bat for 2017, 2 are English made and 2 are Indian made. To me, if it feels nice in the hands and performs well I'll happily use it, I couldn't care less where it was made.
I do however have an issue with certain brands who import Indian made bats, apply stickers and sell for for UK made prices, but that's a whole different kettle of fish...

James Taylor on the radio/TV the other day said that Eoin Morgan always had the biggest and best bats in the Eng changing room.
I doubt his are English made.
I have no idea why there should be any snobbery about where the bat is made personally.
-
Morgan had/has his made at Kippax, no?
-
Any pics of his keeping gloves out there?

And, he doesn't share with his team mates? :D Tut tut.
-
What's going on behind the camera? Bairstow looks bloody terrified!
Branding looks a lot nicer than past Adidas efforts, softs look disappointingly cookie cutter though.

Best I've found is right at the bottom of here, not very good I know sorry

Nothing on their online system yet either Phil im afraid as a preview.
-
He is definatley a poster-boy for the 'ginger generation', I don't think I have seen anyone more red!
Love the 3-stripe toe guard, nice touch that.
-
He looks well chuffed!
Well - he'll never have to pay for his 'Just for Men' again!
-
PDC twitter feed has a better pic of the keeping gear...
-
Used to really dislike the KP stickers, quite like these ones. He wasn't with GN for long but looks a good signing for adidas.
Of course whatever company he uses won't affect the runs he gets, I just hope after mountains of runs with GN they don't dry up with someone new.
Old cricketers wives tale with no basis whatsoever :)

I like the black and white but why the massive adidas logo?

Apparently Adidas make their own bats too....

-
I'd say supplying their own bats might be more accurate?
-

SSure they do...

Fairly certain I saw a box full of adidas stickers at b3 last year...
-
You couldn't have done..... They make their own....

anyone else want to photoshop a ball dropping out of the gloves? :)

Short sleeve keeper - village

Pictures at the oval obviously from the summer. I wonder how long in advance company negotiations take place with players
-
Not necessarily, they could have super imposed him on top of a generic oval photo, not saying they have but they could of
-
It will have been an athlete wide photo shoot where they snapped The Curran Bros, Willey etc at the same day...hiring a camera crew/venue etc isn't cheap on the scale they do it if previous shoots are anything to go by.
-
ooo! Snapping Willey !
-
ooo! Snapping Willey !
That could explain the look on his face on the first picture inside the changing room :(
-
Using the gear in today's game. Back to a Masuri lid too. Noticed in the first warm up game that quite a few of the players were using the OS lid.

Look at the state of them edges!
Wouldn't last two minutes with my batting

Loving the minimalist look of the keeping gloves on his instagram pic.

Still amazes me how he managed to get adidas to sign him up and design his own range for him. Must have taken some real hard negotiating :D :D :D :D

Best Adidas cricket range I've seen. Anyone who goes with a predominately white colourway can't go too far wrong. The Kookaburra Ghost is a classic example as well given how bright the rest of the Kooka range is...
-
Anyone know when this range will be out?
