Got sent these photos earlier by a manufacturer and I got thinking would people actually wear them. The more I look at them the more I like them. What are peoples thoughts on them?

I imagine these would divide opinion quite equally. They aren't my cup of tea mainly because I think less is sometimes more. There seems to be quite a lot going on in the design and looks quite cluttered. Although they are definitely unique and there isn't anything else out quite like them.

most of the Puma ones look like that. A couple of flashes of colour and they could pass as Pumas.

I'm not really a fan personally but I could see some people being attracted to them
As Nick said a few flashes of colour and there near enough a Puma pad.

Looks a little like Transformers are entering the world of cricket...
Not sure If I like them or not, could be they just need a little flash of colour.

I'm not a fan of this Puma-esque shape. I just think that they're trying to be too modern by adding in too many separate shapes. Reminds me of some kind of armour from a sci-fi tv show/game...

I am not sure if they are 2 strap or not. I have only seen the photos of the front of them so far and I am waiting on further details of the pads

These ones are better looking but i would recommend a few changes
1 - either have 4 canes or 2 canes (like they are) and 2 solid foam type sections instead of angled cuts..
2 - as for the knee roll, if the middle section of the knee roll could be made 1 piece that would be great...
Here are my 2 poor attempts with ms paint

Puma modern style (non-Flextech) look a whole lot less fussy and better designed than these do:

I reckon they look good and prefer the bottom ones, then again I love and wear the modern pumas.

For me there is too much going on in the centre of both pads, even them out a little and they will look very nice

I don't mind them. They could come up looking really nice with a couple if tweaks and simplified. Would be keen to know what they weigh too.
