Got to say the only issue being the font as said on the gloves.

I love the modern style as most I have seen like this don't have the knee locator, so these would be more comfortable.

Could do with the BB logo on the front.

Having used the modern ones a few times they're really protective, light and comfortable, perhaps a bit bulky to begin with but once they mould they really are nice pads. I like the look of the traditional pads, would expect them to be like most other pads of the shape but the branding is very nice. Only problem is perhaps the BB on the top hat is a little too big.

I'm not really a softs person, but doesn't all the pads for sale, especially traditional look the same?

I agree with possible the exception of the GM Original ones which has the flat centre panels

Well idea is the same, all have canes etc so yes all traditionals have something in common.

I agree that having the leather instep is ideal, but in reality it adds about £15 to the price of the pads in practice - which starts taking away the price differential of usind this new kit from blank bats to using other branded kit.

Personally I really like the pads and the glove designs, Tai and Canners you have done really well.
I also thing that if you move the branding towards the serif font that would be no bad thing (ditch the bauhaus 93 please!)

I didn't realise how much a style of font would be noticed, especially when it's only small and on the inside of the pads, which won't be seen?

Thanks for your positive words buzz, hoping you will be able to trial them pretty soon

They look nice, but that font is criminal. Use Myriad or something.
