What do you hope to see from the big brands 2017 kit?
« on: August 24, 2016, 04:28:55 PM »

With the GN kit soon to be launched and the trade show launches not far away what do members hope to see from the new seasons kit?

(Please keep them realistic - massive price cuts are not going to be happening!)

Personally I am looking forward to the Newbery kit, not 100% sure why. Ok that is garbage, I know exactly why!
I expect the GM kit to be an extension of their electrifying range from 2016, but note that it wasn't as successful as previous ranges I understand - I would really like gm to take some weight out of their softs.

GN we have seen some of, and I have high hopes for their traditional range.

Who will spring the biggest surprises?

Chase to come back into vogue

Mongoose to re-invent itself  pitched squarely at the youth market

Puma to come up with an outstanding minimalist range

Hunts to re-introduce retro branding

Hell4Leather to go back to the MK1 Tempo in a slightly toned down spine height so they can produce them in 2.10

Less is more...
Enough with the garish stickers that take up almost all of the willow on bats, and the more white on the softs the better as well!

Definitely agree with these Fattus, particularly some new Puma softs.

Hoping to see a properly compartmented duffle rather than just the recent race for size with one massive section.

Hunts taking themselves a bit more seriously and having a crack at an interesting new range would be good, rather than sticking with what they've done for the last few years.

Less grade 3 bats and club grade softs labelled as "pro" or "players" kit and being priced as such.

Bats that comply with the new bat size recommendations to show thinner edges and spine might not necessarily mean less power.

Does Hunts count as a big brand?
I'd like a Slazenger style wheelie duffle from them  :)

Sensible prices

Wouldn't mind NB whites as adidas are clearly the best but the length of their trousers are ridiculous

Would like someone to start making whites with padding in the elbows and knees like they do on the England kit. I'd pay a premium for that.

Why do you need more to choose from, they're all white? ;) Classic all white gear should be left to classic brands like GN, everyone else I'd rather see something different from.
