No way! Were they later ones Chris? As mine had 20 on them. I can see the stitching for the pocket now.

Post by: christhejob on June 05, 2008, 06:43 PM: yeah we had 3 logos
first one was like a diagonalish "20" sprayed on through a paper template, scratched off in days
second was a screened 20 inside a rectangle with a circle round it
then this was the last logo, it is a t mutated to look like a submarine. apparently.

during my house move i found all the 20 zine originals.. when i buy a scanner (!!) i'll get them e-zined and on here!

Post by: christhejob on June 06, 2008, 07:33 AM: we just cut the thickest piece of rubber sheeting for the padding.. see what you can find to slot in instead!

the best bit of the manufacturing process was drying the screenprint under the grill, with the shinpad wrapped around a miniature cricket bat! the fumes were amazing, grilled neoprene is the new gluesniffing.. :P
