continuing my set of obscure retro bats with a vaguely rebel tour theme, Mike Gatting's Newbery Merlin:

I can see an 80's bat pack being released!
 
Here is another addition to the 1990's Bat Pack. The Duncan Fearnley Run Reaper used by Tom Moody a two time World Cup Winning team member and quite a useful player I might add.

This is another thing I have been working on... The England emblem circa 1994/95! Still needs a bit of a touch up.

Brilliant!!! I've been thinking of this one myself to go with the old ACB logo I did.

It still needs a bit of work as I'm not completely happy with the resolution and I think I need to make it slightly smaller. In the meantime I've added the file to my downloads section. Mind you, I don't think it looks too bad for a lower resolution image.

It's Mike Atherton all right. I picked his likeness up in the online Academy.

Interesting that he is named Captain in the side used for the screenshot and he's fielding on the Fine Leg fence.
 
It would be so cool if big ant could somehow negotiate a deal with the different bat brands, so we could have these fantastic mods on console, even if it was only for the older type bats or just basic real life branding. Same with kits, if whomever owns the rights to current kit licenses doesn't want to allow BA to aquire the licence, maybe BA could aquire the old logos, eg ACB instead of CA and TCCB instead of ECB, maybe the MCC holds those rights still, and as they're no longer in circulation it may be possible to have those in DB 16?

Unfortunately the issue here is who owns the Intellectual Property (IP)? In most cases, even if the emblem/logo is superseded, the original creators or owners retain the rights. The cost of obtaining these rights is commonly dictated by market forces (supply/demand) and given that high end media outlets have in recent years paid extortionately high amounts of money for the rights to print or broadcast as "Official Media Partners", it often prices software developers out of the market, as to obtain rights will see them considerably exceed their budgets.

Occasionally we do see limited licencing, such as 'Ashes Cricket 2013', however this also brings no guarantees of quality control or inducements to the owners of the IP that their brand will be enhanced. There could be an argument that with Ashes Cricket 2013 the scandal surrounding the finished product risked damaging the brands of Cricket Australia and the ECB as it was obvious that quality control standards were not met prior to release, and as I recall the product was removed from the market shortly after release.

The reality is that Official Licencing is now so expensive the compromise of opening the game to modification by users at least allows a level of opportunity to add representations of different brands without the IP law breaches. Providing that each modification remains without charge to the user, then under many jurisdictions there is no IP law breach.

Perhaps another way of being able to make the mods available to console users is for an expansion of the DBC Academy for a mod to be uploaded like a player or team, in a particular format that can then be then processed by the Academy and then downloaded by the console user?

I am very much in favour of console users being able to use these mods or have Official Licencing, mainly out of a sense of fairness and that it enhances the playing experience, however the cost involved to make this happen needs to be affordable to the developer, otherwise we may not have the game to use at all.

It should be noted that as has been stated before, rarely if at all, console games are unable to be modified and this point unfortunately needs to be accepted by the user.

Who knows what the future holds though? Bring on DBC 16!
 
Another bat for the soon to be released 1990's Bat Pack. This time a 'County 100 Lethal'. Merv Hughes used County bats through most of his career.

The screenshots show that this time it didn't work so well...
