M&H are probably annoyed that companies are allowed to blatantly copy their designs.

Seems to me that all boutique cricket kit is one of three designs.

Is anyone going to do their own design?

its very difficult to totally design your own stuff as there is only so much you can do. my items are not standard stock pads, i have tried to make them all slightly different to whats around at the minute but unless you go for something completely radical its not easy. when i get a spare 5 mins they will be up on here.


whilst i dont agree with taking a stock pad and sticking your logos on it i do think that tweaking a current design is acceptable.

These are in the early stages as a sample and i respect everyones opinion, but i have used these pad and are by far my favourite design of pad out there. hence why we are using them. I know no one has copied our design that was a tongue in cheek comment.......

I guess a few tweeks will be made

Why not make something close the M&H design, its stunning.
However if your going to make something similar, make it better. There is nothing wrong with making something similar if you can see how to improve it.
If this is the route your going guys I would guess its going to take a lot more work to get close to making something better.

puma do the best pads on the market by a long long way, in my opinion

I think Puma's pads are garish and horrible and I would never wear them, doesn't mean they are bad pads it just highlights how different the market place is and how opinons vary so much. Newbery Sps all the way for me however Newbery Sps style pads come in so many different forms with different badges on. Currently there are these pads and M&H pads using this style so they would be very unique in the current market.

those flex things are shocking, look like a storm trooper!

The 5000/6000 pads are the ones i like, so light i went out to open the batting last saturday with just one pad on!!



They are not as traditional as GN or GM but these MH/BB ones have a modern take. I do like these pads on this thread and weight wise they are comparable with Puma so they may replace puma as my favourite.

Im all for trying out new brands, new styles and new innovations

Fair point. I guess you are limited to what can be done, esp, with small runs.
