Title: New Kit
Post by: Talisman on September 18, 2008, 07:07:40 PM
Bats, GT + B52 Bomber

Gloves, GT + SPS1's have a green and black camouflage insert which works in my opinion. SPS2's are all white and very classy.

Pads, GT + SPS1 + SPS2

All kit top quality as per expectations.

What are the sticker designs like on the bats?

Is this the UK stuff?

Would rather they didn't differ from their current stuff tbh, see them as more of a classy brand, but GT and B52 don't sound very good.

At the moment they will replace the name only in the current labels. They do look classy, the GT softs will be all white with silver trim.

Sounds like the names of fighter planes to me.

Which models are being discontinued if any? Any more info on the profiles of the bats?

Not sure, GT is a replacement for the Zeus I think. B52 is the shape used by Sachin.

Thanks Mike for the info.

Quite racy names and they sound pretty cool, will probably suit both traditionalists and those who like something a bit different. The Newbery kit is the gear I'm most excited about out of the main brands.

The B52 Bomber is similar to the model made for pro's called the bomber without ever being labeled. Obviously as it is the Sachin model it will not appeal to as it is an Indian shape.

Just come back from the Chalet and the stuff they have down there for 09 is amazing!! The softs are some of the best I've seen and tried and the new bats........ WOW

They had one of the new b52 Bombers, 3lb dead and edges at least 70mm!!! They are based on the shape which they do for Tendulker, might have to see about getting one with a bit of concaving to lighten it up!!

Oh and Talisman, you were dead right about Kate!!!!

B52 shape looks very nice...

Glad they should be keeping the stickers just changing the names.

Can't wait to see the softs and the GT!
