All in all, players just love the product, they leave it to us to make sure it's presented properly, so it appeals to everyone in an no offending manner.

i owe this next line to CharlieHough "love the Gluv" softball bodyware.


Thank you,

You may want to get a focus group of some girls, since they are the end user. I just showed the home page to my 14u. She didnt have anything good to say, especially of the pic of the girl looking back over her shoulder.

Thank you On The Black, the focus group Unilete targeted was older,16U-18U. Most of the focus was on the performance of the apparel, vs how Unilete presented the website. Unilete is committed to bringing out quality products, that perform well, and allows the players to be comfortable.
For example, the pants are cut higher in the back, so when catchers squat, their not worried about having to pull the backs of their pants up. The sliders are cut the same way.

Unilete, offers our sincere apologies, if the contents of the website was offensive in any manner.

HI Luther,
Send me your order, our web dept is redesigning the online store, as well as our shipping charges. You will get better pricing buying through Hey Bucket ( Numero Uno ) or myself directly vs. going though the online store at this time. We wanted to offer the Hey Bucket Readers Team pricing vs. full retail.

Hi Tuscon,
My name is Jonathan, and I am the Designer of TheGluv Softball Bodyware line. I spent six weeks developing the patterns for our revolutionary pant. The lovely young lady in the photo is Helen. She is a Senior in high school, is 5'4" in height, an outstanding athlete, has a 4.8 GPA, and will be attending UCLA next Fall in pursuit of a degree in Architecture. Helen is an amazing young woman and volunteered as one of our key fit models. She was a true inspiration in developing TheGluv Softball Pant.

We will be removing from our literature, any reference to "sexy." I can certainly understand how some people may find it offensive. The power of TheGluv comes from the tremendous inner self confidence it builds in the person wearing the pant. Feeling just a little more beautiful, is an empowering experience. But beyond the beauty of TheGluv, lies a rugged, durable, athletic garment. This balance of Strength and Beauty, is the conceptual foundation of TheGluv.

I am truly grateful for the feedback on our website.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Thanks for your reply. I will look closer at your product. I guess you could say "Stylish, but tough."

Regarding the Design of TheGluv Softball Pant, I wanted to continue to the second phase of its development. In my earlier post, I discussed how Helen, one of our first fit models, helped us build the initial pant. She was an XS, by the way. I then began grading the pattern into different sizes. On a morning in December, I ran into Alex, a friend of mine, at a local coffee shop in Huntington Beach, where I live. I told him about what I was working on, and he said, "I need to introduce you to my cousin who trains girls in Softball. He runs a team called The Firecrackers." His cousin was Tony Rico. I had heard of Tony through several customers, but never met him. So I met Tony at one of his workouts. Wow, I was blown away about what I saw at his work out. Really impressive. Tony introduced me to his players, and we had them try on TheGluv samples I had brought. They loved TheGluv! Tony told me it was one of the few times he had ever seen such a positive response from his players. So I decided to outfit his 18Gold team. They have been wearing the TheGluv Pants since February. We will be debuting their new TheGluv Game Jerseys this week! Pictures of these uniforms will be appearing in our website by the end of the month.

My gratitude to Tony, his cousin, Alex, and all the young ladies of the Worth Firecrackers 18Gold team!

That's just retarded. You suggest he do a focus group every time some random 14 y.o. "has nothing good to say" about a display photo?

Chris, welcome to the internet (and Heybucket), where someone will always complain (and tell you how to run your business) no matter what you do. Good luck with your enterprise.
Don't worry about tomorrow. You did that yesterday.
