The Steve Smith NB situation is strange. Stokes gets dropped immediately by NB for reasons that they said didn't reflect the brand's values, etc.
Smith is found guilty and admits to ball tampering and he's still using their gear. Warner gets dropped by Gray Nics. Very mixed messages and, it seems, standards from NB...
I think you can put Warner in the same boat as stokes, both with bad records who, realistically, don't offer all the much in terms of positive association with a brand. Smith on the other hand, had a pretty spotless record and held ( and will most likely hold again) the most important sporting post in Australia, his value as an ambassador is far higher than that of stokes and warner, also, depending on what you read, Smiths role in the whole debacle may have been limited to just being captain of two morons.
Either way, Warner looks to already have his own Range with Spartan so who knows how long it has been in the pipeline. I'm just glad that we won't be seeing anymore horrible Kaboom ranges.
