Would make sense to tailor the shapes for the individual markets if you are already forced to change the branding.
agree but why still call it gladiator

These are the Gladiators we stock and they have the square toe and full shape profile.

Lovely looking (and very similar to mine) SS from VKS again, but I had a perception that all SS/TON have TON branding at the back toe, was it specially/intentionally avoided to add those VKS srickers for you?

The one sold in UK are traditinal curve toe this one  seems more square. Is there  a reason  or is it just SS being inconsistent.

I believe these are more Indian/IPl players profile (not necessarily for them) and hence they might have the squarer toe, as discussed on other forum topic it is what IPL players prefer.

It is interesting though, because most marketeers would say that you need a really strong, clear brand identity. For the average consumer they could get pretty confused with it and not really know what to buy. Some people, me included before CBF thought that they were two different brands, with TON being some non trademarked thing.
