I really like the gloves but I am not a huge fan of the pads, could do with a similar splash of colour as the gloves and less patterning on the fronts.

A very impressive first start into the market

The blue sausage style look very very nice indeed, when are they available Tom and at what cost ? guessing somehow they ain't going to be cheap or will i get discount as I'm left handed.

Have to agree with Tom (Ayrtek) pads look like a copy of the Puma Stealth/Atomic range from 2/3 years ago. But love the gloves especially the blue ones

Do you have a pic of which ones they're copies of? As we would ideally like to do something different/unique rather than stick to a stock pad used previously.

Tom...not saying they are and exact copy but seems the template (shape) of the Puma 4000 has been used and some extra ridges/slices/grooves have been added to yours...I think the gloves are very original which is obviously what you are after with your brand i.e. looking to be the Shepherd rather than the sheep in terms of trend setting.

The lower halves shape and top hat seem similar to the Puma's below... so perhaps with some minor tweaks and additional curvature they would be viewed as more original in terms of design?! Only my 2 pence worth of constructive criticism :)

I am not sure they are all that alike - but what would I know. Personally I prefer the look of the more traditional style pad than these.
I think they look more like the VKS pads (http://www.vks.com/legguard/legguard.htm) the LG2 version. Not that I like them either though!

Having said that - given that Mongoose are a new company with modern ideas, it makes more sense for them to have a more modern style of pad.

when I was trying to remember the pads I did think of those puma ones Tom Ayrtek posted, however I doubt puma would file a lawsuit about it. Otherwise we would have a lot of lawsuits because of the design of the classic style of pads

To be fair to Mongoose it is very hard to find a design that has not been done before and I applaud them for simply not just taking an existing design and rebranding it. That style has been done before to a certain extent but what hasn't? If they keep tweaking it and working in some out of the box thinking I'm sure it will evolve into a distinct look to match their bats. These things take so much time, I'm sat here with a huge pad of paper and have nailed gloves but still tinkering with pads, such a hard area to stand out in.

Also Puma would not own any design of soft's, they just adapt existing designs, I'd say only Aero have produced something truly new in Pads recently.

I do like the minimal branding on the pads, the gloves could be seen as a bit garish but each to their own.
