Tom, I've always wondered what the logo it lol. Is it 'Teardrop' related? It kinda looks like the dials you get on Puma lids :L

The advert looks good though, as does the helmet.

Have you ditched the 2010 grill design?

no mate separate and unrelated to Teardrop....meant to be the protection surrounding your head which is the circle in the centre...graphics is not my strong point lol

have moved away from  2010 version as the ECB preferred the 2009 version as it provides less options to set the grille wider than the 55mm the BSI suggests....which was why we only had 1 slot on the front section in the design.

Post by: johnnyw on January 29, 2011, 04:00:14 PM
I think the 2009 version suits the helmet better anyway

Nice add. Pity that the grill design simply doesn't work for Those of us with large heads.

Yeah we realise that not everyone will be able to use our grille design which is why the helmet allows other grilles from other brands to fit onto the helmet as well :D

Could you do an Albion shaped grille, with your headplate things so it's safer?
Title: Re: Check Out our new Ad...coming to a newsagents near you in Feb!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on January 29, 2011, 04:06:44 PM

advertising is all part of raising product awareness to people who have seen the product but arent aware of just how many benefits it has :)

The ad is very smart I think, perhaps add a couple of small insert images with labels of Sangakara and another 1st class user?

need the website up too!
