And following on from that last post by me.

As everyone takes everything literally on here, that was a (very poor attempt at a) joke!

I find the layout of the website a little confusing. What's the difference between "news" and "trends"?

I can't answer that - it was the format put into place by our web designers! If you just scroll down on the homepage it will come up with icons for all 10 of the current blogs, which may be easier!

I hope no-one will be 'flogging their blog'

Am I the only person who sees a similarity between Phantom Cricket's branding and that of another company?

I think thats the point. Using the same supplier as other brands whilst tweaking the items to further improve them, atleast thats what i took from it all.

There are only so many shapes
Only so many types of stickers
Only a few softs manufacturers

All in all, stuff will be the same and it'll mainly come down to which colour scheme you prefer or if you want to give a certain ceo/bat maker your cash

I'm not talking about the shapes. I agree that there's only so much you can do with a cleft of Willow. I also agree about soft manufacturers to an extent, but they will make something different if you ask.

I'm referring specifically to the branding and labels.

The branding is basically one of the few opportunities to express individualism, creativity and originality not just "take inspiration" from someone else.

Not to mention some of the names of the bats... Bulldog already had a bat called Spirit T20 and GM had a HERO which I believe is what Phantom call one of their junior bats... Originality?

What you have to remember is that the printers don't have an Affinity to any particular brand. If you pay them they'll print your stickers, even if they are virtually identical to others they may produce for a different company.
