Bespoke pads - ideas please.....
« on: July 29, 2013, 07:50:57 PM »

Hi all - I am getting some lovely thigh pads made for me by George.
But with the bespoke service, I'd like to ensure that I choose a great design!!
Do I keep it plain? Do I get a clever or meaningful quote? Do I get a funky patten? A subtle pattern? Something more personal?
The options are endless!

An couple of examples which sound interesting are:

Blue camouflage pattern with "don't hassle the hosk" quote.
Also the desert camo pattern is decent too!

So what I'm looking for are ideas from you creative people, as I know you are full of great ideas.
If I see an idea I love and use, then I'll send a token gift with my thanks - maybe a pair of gloves or similar.
So get your artistic/thinking caps on and get your ideas in chaps!
Look forward to seeing what you come up with!  ;)

Id go a bit further with the Hosk or was it the Hoff quotes and eblaze

Jump in my car
I wanna take you home

It's too far walk on your own

As for background, well what do we know about you - amazing bat collection springs to mind so how about a load of randomly placed shapes in a where's wally fashion.

Ok probably naff!☺

I'd definitely go with black inside next to your legs to keep them from getting skanky, dunno what lid you have but I always think the ayrtek raw carbon fibre effect looks good so I'd go for that on the outside.

Doesn't matter how crazy the idea may sound, just keep them coming  :D

If you're having any sort of Hasslehosk referance surely it has to include how much you love cricket KITT?

HOw about having "The Knight Batter" emblazoned on the outside? Simple, and both cricket/Hoff related

As brilliant as it would be, I doubt I would be able to carry that off!!

Jump in My Car is song by Australian band Ted Mulray Gang from circa 1974.

Hasselhoff is just a plonker who covered it.
