Strauss' gear this summer has been a real mixture - Nitro pads in whites, though I have seen him wear coloured Xiphos pads, and then rotating a pair of last year's nitro gloves (as above), this years nitro gloves and this years ignite gloves - all whilst using an Evo stickered bat.
Even as an amateur I like my gear to co-ordinate (it's not all the same brand, but all has red trim) - I think it's looks messy to have such mish mash of kit - I like the approach Kook take, in that they issue their pro's with the same colour schemes, even if this doesn't correspond to the product they use, or even better GM, who's product range is completely interchangeable in terms of its colour schemes
