Can't say anything particularly jumps out as a positive change IMO, the Mana colours remind me of the Adidas kit from this year and everything else is pretty much the same. Aren't the pads and the majority of the gloves just the same designs in different colours too? Not surprised that they've gone with a stemguard style protector in the Neck Protect too, design looks very rushed...

The one big positive is those bags though, they do look highly impressive!

Paragon = Icon by the looks of it. Mana appears to be a t20 blade but nothing really grabs me. All look very similar but maybe a shop visit will be more useful. Nothing particularly massive on the edge front and the f2 face looks all but binned.

The fact on page 3 bothers me a little - grip stickers etc make the bat weigh 3oz more. Need a grip obviously but that can only be an oz.

Mana reminds me of the old GN Maverick colour scheme.
Paragon colours reminds me of the Kookaburra Kahuna range .
The updated Six6 colours are similar to the Kookaburra Verve.

And surely the Maxi should be yellow?

And the little holographic GMs look a bit busy in the catalogue, and why aren't they on the whole range?

I'm a bit confused (not that it takes much)...

They've got rid of the Aura then, my streak of choosing unfashionable bats continues. Quite like the look of both the Paragon and the Mogul, might have to have a splash out on one of them next season.

I'm probably going to end up buying some GM batting pads and gloves next season.

Just looking through the catalogue one is immediately struck by the fact that they don't have the one or two big flagship players to endorse this range or that range that they have had in recent years.  De Kock, Taylor, etc all super players but lacking the commercial appeal of Root et al.

My thoughts too, really don't get why it isn't coherent across the whole range? I'm normally a massive fan of GM but can't say I like really any of it this year - glad I got that Six6 off you when I did Cam!

my only comment on this thread is it looks very much to have gone right down the swanny since Joe Root left.

 I will say nothing else

 :)

I actually do like GM stuff, bats this year are very good

My eyes hurt, what's with all the colours. Paragon, one of the less memorable names I can think of. Like the look of the maxi, no stickers and white grip would improve it. Bring back the diamond!

While everyone is going for a minimalist approach....GM went the other away. Too many colors and looks crowded

Six6 looks good colour scheme wise, not a fan of anything else but they do always grow on me
