Title: Wow, stickers make a huge difference...
Post by: tim2000s on February 11, 2011, 12:29:40 AM

I obtained a set of stickers to add to my Plain 2lb 10oz Bulldog Mjolnir shape, from Kieron. I was planning on selling the bat as surplus to my requirements, however having stickered it up with the Bulldog Basher 2009 stickers, I've had a complete change of heart as it now looks fabulous! So I'm going to keep it and try and workout how to use it around all my other match bats that I don't want to get rid of...

Before the stickers:

After applying the stickers and an Anti-scuff, oh and a bit of oil...:

Given my change of heart as to the difference when simply applying a few stickers, it makes me realise just how important a marketing tool they really are. It also made me realise that Bulldog stickers (even the 2009 ones) look an awful lot better in the flesh (and the 2011 ones look great in pictures!).

Tim

May i also elaborate i know this may sound daft i think stickers can also mentally change the profile of a bat.

It may sound weird but if you have spare stickers wack them on a bat then change them stickers can appear to change the profile..

I know they can not but the appearance of a change profile is quite strange

True,

I had an old Kookaburra Kahuna Carnage lying around that I had taken the stickers off and refurbed it, I was going to just give it away but after putting some stickers on it I brought from Ebay I'm thinking about keeping it and using it as a net bat. It's still got a fair bit of life to it and the new stickers have changed my mind on getting rid of it.

They do make a huge difference remember my blueroom before rob put the stickers on and just looked bigger and better
