So much as phantom being their own brand and not copying others I honestly now think the are taking the p**s now all I see now is someone who doesn't have his own ideas and thinks it a good way of coping others

So??

Does it really matter if people copy?? No one forces us to buy the 'copies'.. Although, if you can get exactly the same as brand x but cheaper...then boom!! (Nb.. I have no idea if it is or not)

Good luck to them, if they choose to take the best of the rest then maybe it means a nicer branding for customers, also saves them time, which is money... Win win

Ps I really like those white stickers   not going to pay the high price for their kit though.

As Tom mentions, why reinvent the wheel all the time? If yiu find glove x or sticker y that works.. Use it!

Who is this meant to be a copy of? I assume H4L, but calling a bespoke service 'custom' is hardly new. I'd be more interested in how are Phantom going to offer a custom service when they don't make bats?

Give it a rest, there can only be so many iterations of stickers, who cares.

Imagine owning a said brand and everything you do was copied you spent hard work design stickers and softs etc just for phantom to take the easy route and copy which to me is just taking the p**s as it seems whatever h4l do they will copy just feel sorry for all the hard work that Matt and Adam put in just to have their softs and now names of bats copied by phantom

Not sure 'custom' is a copy. I know I had custom on my rpc in 2013 so by that logic h4l have copied?

Anyway, isn't this what business is about ? You as the owner decide how you want to do it.. Plenty of massive companies out there in other markets who rip off far far far far more technical and valuable IP and get away with it.

It's down to consumers to vote win their feet if enough feel strongly about it.

I might start my own brand called Fantom Cricket.

I'll sell TK made bats with Affinity esque stickers.
I'll do 4 off the shelf called the Darc Edition, the 'llusion, the Shadows and the T20 Sprite. I might then do a bespoke one called the Customs that's a stock shape that you get different stickers on.

It will be 100% original though, I'll draw up some concepts and backdate them to 2010 to prove I did it first

I think for us my friend, a brand called 'Fatmon Cricket' would be more appropriate!

[smilley792]

Maybe a brand called "blown out of proportion"

You could do a line called "knickers in a twist" and one called "toys out of pram"

They're just silly names now!

I might buy a CNC machine and start a brand called B4U
Will go for minimal stickers and provide every customer a custom made pro experience. I'm.sure nobody would accuse me of stealing that idea...

Copy Lathe would be more appropriate.

May be each brand needs to create their own language..they can then name their bat whatever they want without sounding like a copy of the other

B3, kooks must be fuming.  Those eBay sellers in India will be out of a job if they can't sell their fake ghost stickers thanks to phantom flooding the market. Disgraceful,  I'm writing to my MP.
