Having read the thread a person who can't even knock up properly is saying too much.

I like gunn and Moore gear the zona looks ok in person and I have seen a few

having read the thread, why are all the moderators defending ed? why do they feel the need to?

I wouldn't say we are defending Ed, but we do appreciate that he had come on here and is giving his opinion, and are simply trying to ensure there is a reasonable balance. Internet forums are notoriously bad at gang trolling by accident, and as I've already said in this thread, I would've liked to see something slightly different from what GM have produced, but what has been done won't have been done with heads buried in the sand, and the forum, is generally not representative of the cricketing world at large. We sometimes forget that...

you mean there are players who don't own 20 bats and open a new pair of inner gloves every hundred runs?

thats a frightening thought!

Mr Lowry please may i ask why you do not release the icc branded "pro pads" to the general public i know it sounds a tad strange but i'm interested ??

I like the range in general

I'm definitely interested in this too!

[procricket]

I suspect it about brand recognition

[Edward Lowy]

Good morning all. Just a note to let you know that the GM website is now live with details of the 2014 range. I have refrained from commenting more in this thread until you good folk can actually see what we are bringing to market.

Kind regards

Edward

Do you mean in terms of the specification of logo size / number?

Kind regards

thanks Ed, I really like the use of navy trim!

In terms of looks I'm a fan if all the new bats! Six6 is growing on me...
New gloves are 100% better then last years especially the Original and Original L.E!

Having had a look at the complete range online this morning I'd like to say that I feel fully vindicated in my comments before. In an ever increasing market with many boutique brands delivering in providing what people want, GM's designs are lacking in identity. What do I like....ripple grips and the Original LE pads but always liked them.

Just had a look at the GM website and it's reaffirmed what I thought - they still make superb products and still have the best cricket brand website out there.

I'm gutted they've dropped the Epic though as I really love mine - I've just bought some 909 pads and gloves to go with it ;-)

The 6six looks a great shape, but I agree with the comments about the purist - it bears no resemblance with the original at all bar the name - surely it's better to give it a totally new name? With GN and Kookaburra doing the retro bat thing so well I find it weird that GM haven't just modernised the profile a bit.

For me, GM have always had the best branding/stickers/decals and the best finished bats I've seen, and I can't see this changing anytime soon.

GM's designs are lacking in identity.

One of the most recognisable/historic brands ever. You're joking right?

In an ever increasing market with many boutique brands delivering in providing what people want

What exactly are the boutique brands delivering that GM aren't, I'd love to know?

[Vitas Cricket]

Love the new softs. especially Original LE gloves.

Cant wait for the windsor trade show now.

All looks good as usual except giving the Icon the horrible Zona stickers, and the disappointing return of the Purist.
