Some do although I have seen some of the NZ Pro sponsored bats that have stickers like this.

My Players edition also has stickers the same as this.

Bat is sale is due to them changing sponsor, they wouldn't use GM anymore?

Patterson seems to have used Kippax for ages, the Other lad is just a club player and seems to use Affinity.

Does have the Pro LE sticker on it though, so would guess it could well be a proper sponsored bat, just out of google searches for who.

Only if the bat had 20 mm edges 25 mm spine and it would look like a plank instead of a tree trunk.
