Masuri named official helmet and neck protection supplier for The Hundred
We are excited and proud that our brand partners Masuri have been selected as the Official Helmet Supplier for The Hundred, with the new competition set to launch in 2021.
The Hundred is an action-packed, unmissable new 100 ball cricket competition that will put fans on the edge of their seats, with an ambition to grow the game at all levels. The competition will feature world-class players and homegrown talent, in eight brand new women's and men's teams based across the UK.
James Brown, Senior Commercial Manager for The Hundred, said: “In Masuri, we are partnering with a market leader who shares our ambition to throw cricket’s doors open to all. Together, we have designed bespoke, painted helmets which show off the team’s colours and we will continue to collaborate as we build towards the competition launch in 2021, bringing the excitement of 100-ball cricket to fans.”
Masuri who will manufacture helmets for The Hundred in the UK, has been making cricket helmets since 1991 and has continued to innovate and push the standard of safety and protective products ever since. In addition to the range of customised painted helmets, the partnership will also include the supply of Masuri StemGuards, ensuring players have access to the highest level of head and neck protection available on the market.
The action-packed 100-ball competition will be sporting a brand-new look in the way of a painted helmet range that compliments each of the eight men’s and women’s teams' playing kits and branding.
Sam Miller, CEO of The Masuri Group, said: “The Hundred promises to be brilliant entertainment in 2021, and we’re delighted to be part of it. The painted helmets we’ve designed together will give players the very best protection while ensuring they’re kitted out in team colours. We can’t wait to see them in action helping showcase cricket to a whole new audience.”
What's more, is our very own #TNFUK staff member Gareth Davies will be actively involved in the competition as Assistant Coach of Birmingham Phoenix women’s team.
“I can’t wait to be involved,” said Gareth, who will be working under Head Coach Ben Sawyer.
“It’s fantastic that our brand partners and great friends at Masuri have been selected as the official helmet supplier. We work very closely with the team there to provide the best helmet options available at affordable pricing. For grassroots cricketers to be able to access a customised helmet for their club like they see on TV is pretty cool.”
