Hey guys, I can't apologise enough for the delay, so maybe will drop a little bit of news as was hoping to say this with pics!!
1. Cases, the "flagship" being made in England by Nomad (the original designers and manufacturers of the coffin throughout the 80's/90's) but with some modern tweaks such a full aluminium reinforced frame and opening mechanism, will be ready early Feb in 4 colours. All photos etc coming soon. There is also a one off edition for the Platinum Lounge which will only be for sale through It's Just Cricket's Platinum Lounge store.
2. Bats, made by Robert Pack, the "Ex-Wife" will only have a run of 10 units, they are all named individually, not that I have 10 ex-wifes but any requests can be done if you want a particular name !
3. Gloves, have gone through some pretty exceptional testing at a MCC University and the results are awesome, some of you may have noticed on the pics there are extra components which stop the ball from being able to squash the finger tips and we've applied some mods after reviewing some pretty in-depth data on hand injuries in cricket over the last 10 years. This is brand new tech so should be great fun this season, again videos and official pics early feb.
4. Pads, ok, some people guessed but I've been a bit cheeky as it's been fun to get feedback and allow people to "express themselves"
after all thats the fun! But the pics of the pads are actually old samples (hence no logos etc..) from early developments.
- I'm making a small set of proper vintage, canvas front pads very similar to the sneek peeks shown online earlier, these are for a special event and are genuinely based on a design from the 1920's, I've been very fortunate to find these original artworks!
- However the real pads are going to be similar, but with a lined facing so you cant see all the way through although allowing huge airflow. they have leather and black velcro (look awesome) straps, and still a lifted structure so nothing touches the shins they remain completely open and ventilated. So looking more modern, but no leg padding whatsoever, as you don't need it with these!
- Toe guards are being tested but are almost ready to go. They look simple because they are, but they work !
- The Fox Box! Looks like we may be later with this than early Feb with the rest of the equipment. Theres a lot of official testing to do and I need to be absolutely sure your "prides and joys" are looked after, again we've had some good MCCU testing done and feedback is waay more comfy than anything else, and I guess you've seen the video?
So, in summary, By the second week of Feb I aim to have videos, pictures and a complete website up and running, offering a quite new approach to getting cricket gear, bit more boutique and less motorcross! Again sorry for the delay i've had a lot on with a seperate venture in cycling which completes on the 11th Feb.
Please shout with any queries I've probably left things out!
Oh yes, and check out Nek-Tek from Ayrtek, I'll shoot a hammer video looking at the different Stem guards available soon to demonstrate what does what.
Cheers,
George
