"Wifey" is about to launch
« on: February 08, 2017, 02:45:17 PM »

Hi everyone,

A quick note to apologise for my lack of time on the CBF over the last season, there has been a huge development running parallel to cricket in cycle helmets which is finally showing signs of completion. In addition to this, the "Off the shelf" range technology is almost ready and in some ways I prefer this to the traditional technology (it's very very different!) Anyway thats for another thread!

I've been thinking about launching a bat for a while, but I'm not a bat maker so Robert Pack @ Blueroom has kindly offered to be the craftsman. A simple, clean traditional blade.

However the motivation for me is the graphics. I'd like to show you all before anywhere else, meet "Wifey"

The story is how many many people say they loose their partners to cricket, to the point they joke about being married to the sport or most notably, their bat. So here she is!
Artwork has been sketched by a good friend and talented tattoo artist Han, more on her later.

Heres the link...
I'd love to see what you all think on my blog!

Retail would be circa £240, thanks again in advance for the thoughts in all forms!

Very best,
George

Is this another "joke" like the see-thru pads?

I think it is in poor taste and cricket world doesn't need such an overly-sexualized display on a cricket bat. Our club now has kids, pre-teens, in attendance for cricket games. Sometimes there are wives and children that tag along with dads w/occasional team participation by a wife or a daughter. What kind of a message are we sending to them? This sticker would be offensive to them.

Sad!

I think the things children see on a daily basis through all sources of media will have exposed them to over sexualised images of women long before this, plus it's a joke, it's a cartoon style image and can be seen not to be serous not my personal cup of tea but I appreciate the idea
