Interesting thread, really made me have a think. Over the years I guess Ihave always favoured the more classic branding, Newbery, Salix etc.

Still true, but consider two of this forum's bat makers. SAF and H4L. The branding couldn't be more different. One bright, colourful, in your face. The other simple, classy, smart. Totally different but they both work brilliantly. I think those two makers currently represent the most eye catching branding available. So it shows you can go down either route and as long as you get it right, it doesn't matter which you choose.

I liked the older Gray Nics of historical weapons, Scimitar, Rapier, Longbow etc.

me too , they just sounded classy

Excalibur, one of the classiest looking bats ever made.

GM have had a very random approach over the years with no real set semantic field.

Cannon, Icon, Purist, Maxi, Diamond, Imperial, Flare, Luna, Apex, Hero, Radius, Maestro, Duellist, Catalyst, Skipper... i could go on (GM freak here)

[Howzat]

Maths: Radius, Apex
Science: Catalyst, Flare, Luna, possibly diamond

Cant see where the others fit in mind you!

[Mr Cricket]

well, theyre mainly adjectives, Purist, Catalyst, Duellist and so on, but theres the odd curve ball in there!

Firefly, Comet and Churchill were all tanks.

Gotta love the ingenuity of Slazenger....

V12, V99.9, V100, V200, V500, V600, V900, V1200, V2000

Inspiring stuff....

I believe there was a V800 and I think an Aussie V8, V23 and V389

But I could be talking cobblers.

[alexrickyponting]

dont know about the v23 but the others all exist/existed fattus 

[The Finisher]

v23 did very breifly in aus i belive during the time of the icc champions trohpry over in india

V99 was a nice bat the mate had one but loved the v800

Glad they have gone back to this rather than that air blade stuff

They are not adjectives, they are nouns! Purest would be an adjective; the superlative form of pure.

[Mr Cricket]

sorry mortimer, thats absoultely correct!

its always the primary school stuff that people forget!

[Colesy]

What's primary school?
