Strettons in design
« on: December 02, 2016, 09:44:36 PM »
My wife has kindly offered to buy me some Stretton's for Christmas and I'm currently in the design and sizing phase with @StrettonFox Sports . Being a Celtic fan I've come up with the idea of having the Celtic FC tartan on the back with a black front and my initials in green on the front (see pic below) obviously I know it's not to everybodies taste but wondered what people's thoughts were (I'm terrible at design) and if anybody had any suggestions to enhance their appearance at all. All sensible suggestions welcome.

Wonderful, the inner side does look good. Maybe you can have crest of your team on bottom right of outside guard?

Perhaps bigger font size as well?

Like the tartan, I'd have the two sides the other way around though personally?

Agree with the above. Would be a shame to hide the tartan, but I guess it depends on how it would show through your whites?

What about outer pad has the tartan on the inside and the inner pad on the outside?

I like them as they are. Nice and simple design. But with your own touch.

@HallamKeeper did you request the hip protector also?

He said the hip protection is built in to it.

They actually arrived this afternoon. I'm very happy with them, just need to bend them into shape.

They look great! Big fan! Might have to mention the hip protector as doesn't look like it's on my design.

Cheers, I like your design too. If you wanted to put a team badge on them George suggested the middle is best so the straps don't cover it. Maybe the Celtic badge?

Make sure you bend them good an proper. They can take some hammer, you don't need to worry about damaging them.

Had a good bending session (an odd sentence). Only realised how big my thighs are! The product of hockey and wicket keeping I suppose.

How do you prevent them getting bent in your bag and losing the shape you want?
