What about Pimping them up with purple leopard print?

Or get magic 8 balls printed inside the pad!

Bowler: Hozat
Umpire: Not out!
Bowler: What?!? He was plum!
Petehosk: Lucky * ball says 'Dont count on it'

After a big shot....

Umpire: Was that a 6?
Petehosk: Lucky 8 ball says 'Without a doubt'

Also available to choose from:

Positive:
● It is certain
● It is decidedly so
● Without a doubt
● Yes definitely
● You may rely on it
● As I see it yes
● Most likely
● Outlook good
● Yes
● Signs point to yes


Non-committal
● Reply hazy try again
● Ask again later
● Better not tell you now
● Cannot predict now
● Concentrate and ask again


Negative
● Don't count on it
● My reply is no
● My sources say no
● Outlook not so good
● Very doubtful

Loving the posts on this thread ! PS I could do a hairy chest simulation of the Hoff which could creep up out of your whites ! but the lucky 8 ball sounds more suiting ! Stomach slightly turned by that nude pic poor dog ! )

I wanted the club badge on the pads. But George came up with the smart idea of doing the embroidered badge which had velcro type backing so I could remove them and stick the badges wherever I wanted.
George generously included 4 badges. And if I decide to change clubs, then no problem about having to remove club badges!  ;)

Decided on a back inner to the thigh pads to ensure it wouldn't stain easily, as I can be a sweaty git!
Also decided to have a little reminder on the inside of the pads to try and get me focused!

Got them in large size and decided on the right shape for me! George sent me a number of varying shapes to choose from, and even sent some templates so that I could print and try them on!
He was patient and gave his honest advice on some of the ideas I had. His patience was second to none, matched by his service!
They take some shaping but since I saw the clip of not being gentle with them, it has been a lot easier!! They will take a bit of work to get them into perfect shape for my thighs and legs, but thats half the fun.
The protection feels superb and they are very comfortable and light to wear. Needless to say, I have already wacked myself several times with a cricket bat!  :o
These will be my main match pads now, and the P2's will be relegated to occasional use only.
Nets start either this weekend or next, so am looking forward to getting them on!!
