I did originally think that but the Kookaburra ones have a band across them with the Kookaburra logo across them, similar to the GM grips from 2 or 3 years ago maybe.

The players grips don't have any branding on them whatsoever. Really nice grips too IMO

Cheers mate, thought that because my 2017 Kahuna came with a white grip with branding on but I do stand corrected.

I'm a ripple man which are thicker so haven't used the grip.  Think this is what you are looking for?

Yeh those are the kookaburra ones for sure, however personally I couldn't get on with them. The grooves line up so inconsistently from bat to bat, and you feel them more than you would think. Personally more of a fan of chevron type grips but each to their own!
