...*attempting to resist the urge to buy a new pair of keeping gloves*...

Those TON gloves look really nice. Nearly went for last season's pair before getting the Hunts County ones.

As for colour, I prefer predominantly white gloves with stylish additions such as this. But some darker coloured gloves can look really nice.

Three out of three wickets have preferred predominately white gloves.

Do you ever mention to Kookaburra when you are down there that they would sell a shed load more gloves if they ditched the Disco colour schemes and went with more white?  I think 75%-80% white is enough for me but I could go higher!

I did like the ones Dhoni was wearing last year which were 80% white with camo bits... they were pretty damn rugged!

B3 wicket keeping gloves are all white, and the best glove I've ever felt. £55 I think.

Their website doesn't seem to mention wicket keeping gloves.  Do you have any pics handy?

Found a video online (Lord's video for selecting wicket keeping kit).

Those B3 gloves look well tasty, any idea of what they are expected to retail for?  Are B3 bringing out matching pads?

There use of social media and advertisement is poor, I can't find any great pics,

But. A sample pair is sued in this vid. But they have replaced most of the black with white,




And this is all I found on Instagram

I saw the video that they posted for their birthday bash and the pro keeper they were interviewing said he would like some venting on the back.  Does anybody know if they followed through with this?

Nothing worse than a glove full of soup at the end of a day in the field!

The chase keeping gloves are all white and look decent.

Im in the same position as vitas in that I loved the 2012 legends. Ive got 2 pairs that are still going, but have both been refaced a couple of times each. 
I dont know why more companies don't go for the all white, long cut or traditional colours like the old kookaburra silvers in black and white.

Are people not bored of all white yet?! I've had four white pairs in a row and have made a conscious decision to go for something different this season although admittedly they do still have a hefty helping of white...

For me, there are some gloves that go for really bold colours that can look really well. Take the 2014 Hunts County Revolution, the 2014 Slazenger Ultimate, or the Ton Max Power Pro gloves to name three. However, there are some gloves that go for really bold colours that end up looking rather tacky and sometimes horrible. The one that struck me in that way is this year's Adidas keeping gloves, and to be honest, not seen a set of Adidas keeping gloves that stylistically I have liked.

So I guess it comes down to design. Most people want a classy looking glove, and some will go for a swish type look that some of those white gloves with bold colours. But of the two, I think the all white gloves do look very classy, though they can be a pain to keep clean!  :D

Are they the same design as the GN Legends?

Nice design of gloves to go with. Classy looking.
