I'm with Harry on this!
I actually quite like both the SS Gold Edition and the Platinum Reserver stickers.
In the past, the Asian bats have been good, but the stickers have always been overly fussy and nowhere near classy enough to catch the eye of buyers who put the looks of the bats and stickers over the performance!
But If SS can continue to improve the looks of the stickers, then I reckon they could get more sales! Certainly, they represent quality from a performance point of view, and some of those grains and profiles look superb. So if they can get the stickers right, they could really show some serious results into the non-Asian bat markets!!
I have 2 CA bats, and the first thinng I normally do is remove the rubbish stickers and replace them with nicer stickers. I have removed the AS V3 stickers too and will use other stickers on that bat. But with the SS Gold Edition I have, I haven't removed the stickers! And will be the same with the Platinum Reserve! Will have to have a think about it, as the stickers look quite nice!!

And it should be ablut the quality of the bats, and the performance of the bats. But there are so many people out there who look at the labels first!
I know that there are some great Asain bats out there, but it makes me think twice when I know that the first thing I will have to do is change the stickers as soon as I purchase a bat!!! And the genuine stickers are not cheap, so add another £25 on top of the purchase price for the bat!!

Bang on Pete! While the quality of the bat should be the most important factor, inevitably if the stickers are awful some people will be put off buying them.

www.sscricket.com
SS have recently updated their website and have launched few new models and have changed stickers on some old models. Most of English Willow bats already had really good looking stickers but they have further improved the stickers.
