Are baseball glove brands being overpriced?
What do you guys think about mizuno? Akadema? Akano?
I feel the many of the most popular brand tend to always be overpriced due to the fact that there is not much other reliable glove brand option.
Saying that, Do you guys think Mizuno, a much less popular brand in America (Not Asia) is overpriced?
Or which brands do you guys think are overpriced for what they give?
I have owned both a mizuno and rawling glove, and even though both gloves were cheap, bought from sports authority and the cheapest rate possible, I believe they were both in the 20-30 dollars range.
anyways, what I wanted to say is that the Rawling glove got destroyed, and I mean it, the pressure was too much I guess and there is a hole, a huge hole, around the size of the palm, in the palm area. The mizuno is perfectly running the same, except for the dried out leather cracks.
So do brands really matter in the end? DOn’t you guys feel the same? Rawling and wilson overpricing their stuff badly.
Baseball equipment had BEEN overpriced for 3 decades. Guitars used to be cheap. You could get a really, really good guitar for $80. Then the Beatles. Now it starts at $800. Same with baseball equipment when the players started earning real money.
