Title: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Paddy Knott on September 26, 2010, 05:27:03 PM
Alright lads!

After looking through the ayrtek topics for a couple of days now I have decided that im going to get one at around Christmas time. However im not sure which one to get. I think ill get the top of the range which is the Asis Elite? also with a ti grill. I like the black ones and also the colour that they are when they havnt been sprayed (silvery black colour). However i play for Warwickshire and my club for next year play in a light blue. so i would like to get either a black one to stand out or a dark blue with a bit of light blue in to go with club colours. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance

But having a Warwickshire badge on your helmet when playing club cricket makes you look like a 'wannabe' pro. lol

Whatever floats your boat. But you will get a lot of stick for it off the other side.

I know if i had a Warwickshire badge on my lid and had to cover it up with tape id get a lot of stick at my club.

What would the helmet cost for the custom colour and initials? Tom said hed to the ti grill free as a sponsorship so i dont need to pay for that.

for all of the above, black, acis elite, titanium grill, initials, and warwickshire badge, 132 but£8 posted.

Black is a stock colour i think. If you wanted a custom spray then thats £145 before extras
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: peplow on September 26, 2010, 06:46:50 PM
No there are several stock colours, but then if a different colour is wanted then you must pay
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Liam-SCCC on September 26, 2010, 06:48:38 PM
Thats kinda what I said!

You don't have to pay extra for the black as stated by thebd11 at the top of the page.

I said he would have to pay extra if he wanted a custom spray like the dark blue with pins striping suggested

:P

Ahhh yeah sorry you were right mate, didnt see the "a" in black is "a" stock colour!
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Colesy on September 26, 2010, 08:06:20 PM
Black with green pinstripe to tie in with the Elite colour scheme ;)

I'm going black with blue pinstripe
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 26, 2010, 08:12:30 PM
Black isn't a stock colour and will cost £10 extra for any one colour finish to them, custom colour pin stripes won't be a stock item either as we would have to get them made by our printers.

Silver are standard issue pin stripes, white, blue, green and maroon are stock shell colours.

Ok mate cheers. To clear it all up though could you reply to my pm, Cheers.
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Colesy on September 26, 2010, 08:15:41 PM
Couldn't you paint the shell blue, then put tape on it and paint over it black? I't probably more time consuming and less cost-effective

Tom are the stickers interchangeable I.e could I wear one for club games and one for county games or are they a permanent feature?

Thanks
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 26, 2010, 09:04:56 PM
They aren't interchangeable as such as they are stuck directly onto the helmet as a vinyl sticker....other helmets have to use Velcro etc which makes it look cheap IMO
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: thebd11 on September 26, 2010, 09:06:05 PM
True shout about the velcro

Post by: rp27 on September 26, 2010, 09:21:22 PM
I don't quite understand why anyone would add their county crest to their helmet, club crest yes, but county no, as you don't play professionally for them. I'd think the person was a bighead who thinks they're amazing tbh.
Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 26, 2010, 09:24:31 PM
I don't see the issue....Im wearing an England T20 shirt, doesn't mean I'm bigheaded and play for England ??? I mean I'm good enough but still waiting for the call up lol something about being unfit and weight limits on planes or something ???

Hmm, I don't blame you for offering it, there's money to be made from it, not for me personally.

Title: Re: What colour/style/design helmet to get!
Post by: Paddy Knott on September 27, 2010, 06:25:31 PM

No thanks mate. I do play for them but i get a hell of a lot of stick even if i wear warwickshire shorts to a club game or training session! So im just asking for it if i have a logo on my lid. So just a blue will do for me, thanks.
