I am hoping to see colored pads in the top ranges. Like GN le etc. Hate having to settle on either clads or t20 pads..

There simply isn't enough demand for it to be worthwhile for the larger brands I'm afraid.

Coloured GN pads can be done, but the minimum order is 15.

You are best speaking to boutique brands who are more willing/able to handle a small order. We did individual pairs of coloured pads for customers from Focus, H4L and B&S in the past year or so

A different perspective.... aussie 16/17 gear /catalogues recently released.  G.m icon and maestro are back which was pleasing (so if in the u.k I'd be hoping for those), although some of the colourways /stickers seem very un-g.m.....like a dad trying to be a cool kid .  . G.n stuff all looks good . Smaller brands like Bradbury , Grove and Impala have some really impressive kit . Puma was predictible , same bat shapes with lairy colours....like to see them offer something different. Kookaburra has been a pleasant surprise. ...if they release similar in the u.k they should have a good 2017( if u.k gets a top of the line Ghost it will sell like hotcakes ).  If i were in the u.k I'd really be looking forward to the adidas sl22 boosts in new colours . I also wish someone else would put out compliant super light helmets ...shrey at 750gms is a bit disappointing.  Oh , and more standup wheelie bags next year would be a treat .

Aussie GM range is very good.

I thought the UK Kooka range was much better though. All Aussie Kooka bats are the same shape again this year. At least there was some exciting variety across the range in shape for the UK.

I might just have to do that. Maybe Newberry matching up with stretton to give us well designed light pads.

That would put the fox among the chickens, frankly I'm ok with that. In a few weeks it will be in kit season again. I don't know if they have even released a catalogue yet?!

I'd presume you'll see the Newbery gears around the time of the Lords trade show as with most others - only a few weeks out now

Some retro styled kit in modern day materials, such as the SP gloves worn by Tony Greig amongst others.

Kookaburra sort of gave it a go with the Menace range a few seasons back - total flop from what I could tell, ended up in every sale possible!

A guy at our club has the full menace range. The gloves are surprisingly comfortable, but frankly I'd rather bat glove less!
