Some nice looking gear.  Not sure about the v600 I  green, prefer the red look of my old v600 (about 10 years old and still going).

Glad to see the v12 back for another year.

Wonder if anybody will do a Retro bat with small edges and non-concaving? Doubt the V5 is such a bat.

More pro tour bat detail.

Oooh....liking the v5!!!

If the V5 looks like an old V12 then why isn't it a new V12? Is it me or does anybody else think it sounds a bit stupid?

V5 has a nice profile, shame it says it's super concaved, not a fan of too much. I'm guessing they are going to be made in India, as it only states 'Made in England' for the V6 and V12. Also, is it just me, or is that V6 swell position extremely high for a lowered sweetspot?

I bet the proof reader in Marketing doesn't know much about bats.

It does only say 'reminiscent' to be fair

I really like the new V personally, although since the rugby league comment I have started to see twinges of that in there too...

Another interesting point is the V12 doesn't seem to be limited to a set number, or etched with a number on the edge, nor does it come with a card signed by cricket legends.

Like the new stickers much better than the current ones. Last year's softs nailed it for me

Other than the softs I provided pictures of: the pro tour range and the standalone XR Lite pads and gloves, the rest of the range of softs hasn't changed much from 2013.

The v5 is gorgeous. Definately my kind of profile!

Read the bit for the v5 labelled construction.

"expertly handcrafted by our master bat makers in England"

V5 does look like a decent profile.

the new pads and gloves have a Puma and Adidas feel about them but at least theyve left their comfort zone and tried something a little different.
