Received some pictures of the new gloves set to be released in 2011.
No prices are set in stone as yet and I believe the design may be tweaked and changed but for now, I'd just like to know your opinions. They are being made at a highly respected manufacturer and I'm expecting the quality to be second to none.
The first pair are the mid range glove with 'Wipe Out' labelling. Calf skin palm, the others are the top range glove 'New Wave' labelling with Genuine Pittards palms.

Very nice big fan of those! Very Pumaesque
-
They look good, prefer the top ones.
In Fenerbahce's club colours! :D
-
I thought the wipe outs looked very puma-esque and the new wave similar to gray nics
-
Like the look of both, and agree that them top ones look Very Pumaesque..I guess pricings will be done upon receipt of the gloves at Rob's end? Are pads on their way too? :)
-

Yeah totally agree! They look good will look good with the bats . . . does he still do the pink coloured bats? Swell is it? Or am I on drugs??
-
As said these are sample images, they may change they may not. Once the design is agreed the pricing will be sorted. And yes pads are on the fringe aswell, awaiting an update from the manufacturer.

He does Dan, Roco just got the blue and yellow stickers I believe, as he liked them...are there gonna be any pink and white gloves Liam, to match the other bats?
Cheers
-
Yeah Washington, the blue and yellow is one colour scheme the pink is another option.
I haven't confirmed this with Rob yet Johan but I believe there are pads for both colour schemes so the gloves will no doubt be the same
-
i like the bottom ones can imagine them being very flexible :)
-

Think Pink in the bottom set would look the mutts nutts
-
Dan?
-
I dislike them, call me old, but I prefer plain subtle design
-
True say Dan: have you realised that Washington is formerly CustomDan21?! Are the pads similar to any of the current ones on the market Liam?
-
Not a fan of the colour scheme or how the logos have been applied to the gloves. The direct printing Redback use or the embossing Kookaburra do I prefer.
The designs themselves are nice though, prefer the bottom set from the 2
-
This is the kind of feedback I need guys so thanks. good to get mixed comments :)
As far as I know the pads are a mixed design based on pumas latest range and the Salix pod pads. Unsure on what they may look like finished but If they're
anything like the two brands they have been designed around I'm confident they'll look the beans
-
very average imo. far too much going on in the first one.

very average imo. far too much going on in the first one.
How so? Could you justify what's average in the second one, then?
-
its an opinion mate!
-
Looks great! As soon I saw second ones I thought they were Salix's Pod Gloves, very similar indeed!
I take Blueroom and Puma soft maker is the same, right?
-
not a fan of the blue lines going on in the first pic and there is just too much going on in the first one too. the second one the silver bits and the bottom part of the glove just don't seem to go together. two average designs imo.
-
Without doubt they are and why not use his contacts...
I like them not the pittard pair something just does not look right
The design is colourfull and brash and there making a statement there no doubt they will get noticed but maybe a touch too Puma for me
-
its an opinion mate!
Lol I know, was merely asking why he doesn't like them.. :S fair enough, everyone's got an opinion :)
-
Design looks good but the dull yellow is a terrible colour. Ruins both gloves. Like the side on view design on the new waves. Would be interesting if you did a colour combination vote. I reckon dull blue and dull yellow wouldn't top the chart. I know the stickers on the bats are nice and glossy so these may look better in the flesh.
-

Is that the sound of a forum police car whizzing past my laptop? ;)
In my opinion, I think the style of glove you have went for is a good choice and can understand that you need to include the yellow and blue branding, but I feel you could tone down the amount of colour on the gloves.
-
neeeeenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
-
Lol. It did sound rather defensive, I admit, I was merely interested to see his views, as I thought they would be more helpful to Liam and Rob. As Liam said:
This is the kind of feedback I need guys so thanks. good to get mixed comments :)
So, I was just trying to get the justification out there, could well have an impact on the designing process, and probably for the better. :)
-
I'll bet a £1 they don't change
-
Don't want to bet, but I think they would take on board constructive comments, as this forum could provide a fair deal of buyers for the softs, remember..
-
I'll bet a £1 they don't change
I'll take that bet as I was there when rob saw them for first time and said he will definatley be changing the colours a bit
-
Roco you should have raised it first mate lol
-
Do not get Johan started.
I can not wait to see the pads Liam do you suspect he might be bringing any midget sm on the market????
-
Raised what a pound as can just afford it I think I'll just check
-
I'll hold on to the pound for now until we see the finished product. Don't worry I'll include the banks interest base rate!
-
Pidge!! I want the yellow wave ones :) has he got any pads to match??
-
And yes pads are on the fringe aswell, awaiting an update from the manufacturer.
There's your answer Fletch.
-
where are the pink 1's to match my bat tut tut
-
you cant beat a bit of good old fashioned sausage gloves. funny how they gone out of fashion
-

I hear you mate
So will there be any sausage fingers coming out?
-
They match the bt labeling well, but I don't see anything oustanding about them.
Please pass that on to Rob who can pass the comments on to Johan for his final approval.
-
Right lads great to see everyone passing comments about the gloves. Let's clear some things up then....
The pads are in design stages fletch
The glove images are simply samples and are set to change in any way rob sees fit so I wouldn't be surprised of they are completely different next time we see them (I'll take that £1 bet as well)
Sausage fingers are unknown but I'll pass on the idea as I like them too
Pink colour scheme will no doubt be with the manufacturers as theres going to be pink pads as well
The colours are set to be brighter but not necessarily the same shades as what you see here (as stated they are samples)
The manufacturer is one of robs contacts, he is entitled to exercise that power I'm sure and they make for 2 other top shelf brands, but if they don't pull there finger out with the softs he has stated he will go to another but that would mean starting the whole process again.
Have I answered everything??? If not give me a slap or a reminder of your query.
Thanks guys it's all good stuff to pass on

:( I think what I've said has been blown completely out of proportion. How is that constructive. I was just asking him what he thought was so bad about them to help Liam and Rob out :(
-
They look ok to me - seem to match the bat branding nicely. Difficult to produce an earth shattering glove design IMO. Better to keep it simple & subtle (for my taste)
-
Pide you know I'd happily slap you, you only have to ask! Actually you don't even need to ask :)
Not too keen on the top gloves but like the colours they match the brand nicely and going on how good the bats are I'm sure they will be quality too beefy!
-
Oh simmy, there's nowt wrong with a bit of pink :p
