« on: July 04, 2011, 08:38:08 PM »
Whilst the subject of retro bats is around the forum, did anyone notice what Tom Maynard had done to his GM tonight? Had trimmed the stickers so it was just a GM logo and gave a similar retro look to the GN legend looked pretty good! Not sure what GM thoughts are on him doing this but definetely looked like he'd spent some time on it, so must be a personal preference.

Retro, interesting. But surely nobody actually wants to go backwards?

There's a look in his kit bag and at his bats above. Doesn't show the retro stickers, but it may be something to do with the 'Secret Weapon'

edward, not backwards in terms of innovation, just backwards in terms of appearance, for nostalgia's sake. I'd put good money (if i had any :() on a retro stickers range being successful

Edward, maybe design a new set of retro stickers for one design bat and allow the concept go viral and see the response. £500+ per bat would be peanuts for such people looking to dream in the past.

There's always a market for middle aged men trying to regain their youth  ;)

No, we tend to launch to the trade simultaneously through the Trade Stockrooms.

I can indeed, but regretfully it is a cul-de-sac. We don't send out just stickers. Thanks for the prompt on this as it has Catalysed me start a new thread...
