Reference to its just cricket?
Not intentionally so, this is a thread about Barringtons and I made a general comment with my opinion.
To avoid any confusion as to what was (or was not) meant, I think it would be silly for a retailer not to stock those particular brands because:
GM & GN
Traditional brands and traditionally English. If you didn't own one growing up/learning the game you likely wanted one because your hero used one on the telly. They both have instantly recognisable branding and history behind them to drive sales.
Kook
They always used to be very popular, but I've not seen so many newer ones in recent years, but Kook is another brand you'd definitely have seen on the telly and likely wanted one as a kid. Likely to sell well this year with Jos Buttler endorsing them and being one of the hottest prospects in world cricket.
Ton
Very popular, I can't actually remember the last time I played a game when I didn't see one!
NB
New boys on the block who have thrown money at some big names. Almost certain to be a hit with the kids and adults in the market for some kit!
