TBG, any chance GN will get rid of those bloody awful horizontal checkered stickers? (not to mention the secondary labels on the back) GN used to and still could have arguably the best lables. I recon they currently look an awful mess.

What was that bat Booney used to use in the early 90's with the flared back sticker (similar but better than quantum) looked nice also GN Ultimate, powerspot etc.

oblivion, quantum, OZ legend, OZ players are all good (but could be better).

PS its not just GN, slaz seem to be making a right mess of everything.

I think the GN label is one of the most distinctive in the market, maybe no1.

That's very subjective, I really like the labels if I'm honest, more than most, such as GM, Adidas, and most of the other "bigger" brands.

The labels are iconic with the brand such as the stumps for fearnley (still one of my favourites) although they have had some funny colour schemes within the label

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Its only the horizontal checkered ones I don't like and some of the secondary labels on the back, the base stickers on front and back are certainly iconic and market leading, that's why I asked if there was any thought to returning to that less cluttered style.
