They just look like someone has drawn them in MS paint in about 5 minutes, made even worse as some of Warsops older ones were quite nice.

Pre 2011 GM, Gray Nicolls, Newbery, Redback, 2005 Slazenger, 2007 Puma, and old Woodworm stickers. Could probably think of a couple more


I'm not a big fan of redback or dewberry, but agree that the old woodworm stickers were great! I had a torch (KP's bat) an it was awesome!


Them warsop stickers are terrible - a piece of text on a red/black gradient. Can't of taken more than 2-3 minutes to make.

Do any of the asian manufacturers do nice stickers, some are a bit plainer than others but i can't think of any I like right now.

and whilst on the subject of truly terrible stickers - have a look at my two entries for Kookaburra Create, these will trump all!


(Ignore the descriptions, thought I'd have a bit of a laugh)

Those Warsop stickers aren't on their website? Maybe they've realised no one will buy them

As I said, Warsop the worst. The new stickers are worse than the one pictured---a Marlin (deep sea fishing or cricket?) and another with a giant metallic cobra that looks like it should be in the back window of a low rider.  I think less is more. Bats should have a zen-like, shaker-esque simplicity whereby the willow and the elegant shape it has been given speak for themselves. Here is an example of, imo, good taste.

Judging by the comments here most people like relatively small, unobtrusive, conservative design stickers.

Is seeing more wood/showing off the grain the reason behind this?

I think you'd get different answers from a regualar cricketer rather than the 'geeks' on here, and from kids who want something 'cool' or used by someone 'cool'.

Personally I like fairly minimal, fairly classical and fairly simple stickers like Bradbury, etc

Which do you prefer? Modern stickers a la one of these?



Or the various older stickers?




Personally out of all of these, I'd have to go with the old Hunts County, Bulldog and H4L as my favourites, the GN as least changed and the CA as my least favourite. The worst though has to be Joe's Rage...
