Loving the facebook pics Paul, great work.
Most ranges have definitely enhanced their reputations in my eyes - it's much more beneficial to see actual photos rather than touched up catalogue pictures.
The Spartan gear all looks great, however I have one issue with it across the board. Do they have to have the players' initials on everything?! I'm not a huge one for hero worship, certainly not of any sportsmen or sportswomen younger than me and I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable going out to open in an adult game with 'MC' or 'MP' plastered across my gear! Kids range; great, adults? Hmmm, I can hear the comments from the keeper and slips already! It does look like great quality though.
I'm also seriously considering an Ayrtek helmet, I'm sure they'll be some good prices coming up - currently have an Albion Ultimate 98. Anyone who can let me know the pros and cons would be appreciated.
Newbury looking good as ever - classic, timeless style, the M&H looks great - as someone who has blue as their colour of choice for gear, definitely spoilt this year...
