Title: Centurion

Just been looking at their website, most products look very early nineties, not the greatest branding but maybe they are better in the flesh.

Its so old its almost appealing in a retro kind of way. I don't hate it.

I do like some of the bits, its just that it makes me feel the gloves would be so soft that you could screw them up in the palm of your hands.

I've got a strange feeling my first ever gloves were centurion. I will have to check the old kitbag.

Interesting stuff. I too had some old Centurion gloves and they were great. I may be in a majority of one but I quite like the branding!!

Aha! They're back!!

Only dissapointment is that they don't do the old bat they did that was shaped like a Jumbo!

I love the branding - it's great!

They've been back for ages Brucie, never left.  Guy who owns it plays for a local club and sponsors most of their players.  Opened a shop this year though so completely re-branded.  Softs are decent Mike...!
