Jimmy signs back with GN. Is this the end of Slazenger?

On a serious note, I am not sure that sponsoring players makes much commercial sense for them anymore.  They seem to shift a huge amount of children's and entry level gear but aren't a serious brand for established players.

If one of u9s parents wanted to buy one of our Adidas club shirts, they are 29.95.  You can pick up a Slazenger one for 8.50.  There will always be a market for that

I see they’ve released a bat inspired by the podcast Jimmy does with Greg James and Felix white (Tailenders). Selling at £150 to celebrate Anderson’s 150th Test match (whenever that may be) featuring sticks that resemble tailenders in that they won’t quite be the prettiest but will do a decent enough job!

I think this is a great idea in a time bat prices have gone thru the roof
Good marketing

And let’s hope JA gets there!

Only 25 at £150 they’ve said now. Still good that a limited release is at a reasonable enough price.

Genius - 25 "limited release" bats that "won’t quite be the prettiest but will do a decent enough job"

Basically they've taken a load of low end munters that haven't sold for £100, changed the stickers and sold them on for £150. Kerching

Think you may be right, I believe with another of there ‘’limited release’’ bats they just re-stickered old Kronus bats with some new stickers. As you say i would imagine will be 100 or 200 grade bats, which however from my Butterfly shockwave could give 1 or 2 very nice sticks in that lot

And whilst refusing to sell them to retailers, only direct - helping the margins.

So the retailers who have paid GN thousands of pounds for bats now have essentially old stock
