Hey guys check out some pictures of the super sexy, brand new Tattoo range coming out soon from OBO.
Everyone we’ve shown them to has said they look pretty damn amazing.
The design is a New Zealand Maori symbol.
Leave some comments and tell us what you think!!!!!!
sick! though i just got some HR legguards last year, I won’t be able to get these anytime soon 🙁
Sweet!!!
I like ’em! New legguards are one my list for next year. Just got some new kickers and maybe I’ll buy a right hand glove in your november sale…
OW when can I get them?
and will they come in pink or red or lots of colours?
and will there be helmets to match?

Something doesn’t sit quite right, I think it’s because they remind me of The Fast and The Furious!
Black with a white tattoo would look brilliant though!
I love the fact that my pair will be here in 4-10 days.. I also I think I will be the first in the UK to have a pair?? Yesss!!!
Abbo, you’re probably the first person in the world to own a pair, they haven’t been released yet!
obo+moko=fantastic
Love um! I give us more colors and I’ll buy them in a minute!
white colour with black symbols would look amazing
Now I feel special 😀 I will get some photo’s of me in action wearing them when they arrive. Then maybe OBO can state that Mr Abbo from the UK is the first one in the world to use them! haha
Pretty awesome – love it. Show us the cloves too – bring on some gk shirts to go with it
I’ve been looking at adding a design to my gear, but haven’t worked out the best way to do it. How did you get the tattoo on? Will it wear off?
has anyone thought that they might ‘blend in’ with the pitch?
Luv ’em!
Like the green even more. Blend in? YOU BET. The forward wont know what hit him and the umpire can’t loose the ball against them now, can they? (the reason white is no longer allowed)
Sorry Abbo, you are the second one in the world…. 🙂 Holland is the first.
Sorry guys I beg to differ – Simon’s daughter Georgia in my opinion was the first one to wear them – plays for Manawatu Rep u/16 A GK – Has had them for a few months now – played at national tournamet June/July sometime.
Great people make great products!!!!!!!!!!!
ps. She even has a lovely “G” on the side of the pads. Custom made.
From a UK perspective (mine at least!), I can’t get away from the dodgy tribal tattoos style. Over here too many ‘wannabes’, usually living in the middle of the burbs, plastered themselves with tribal styles to be ‘cool like Beckham innit’. Also, like Kristof said, I’ve seen too many Citron Saxo’s with dodgy decals as well. Hopefully you haven’t got the same problems in NZ! Cheers Will P.s. feeling the green though.
The tattoo won’t tear off. It’s put on prior to moulding rather than after moulding, so it’s on there for good.
not for the faint hearted….
If my daughter sees these green pads and kickers she will demand a set. She’s using my old Robos at present – but keeps saying I wish they were in green!
Those are awesome. Is the protection as good or better than the ROBO Range?
They are the Hi-Rebound model so protection is the same…
yeah i got a little NZ flag on mine from the nov. sale last year. started to fade a bit…
Will there be a range of tattoos that we could stick to the lag guards we already have and start customising? Like permanent transfers?….. that would be amazing.
Well, I think they are wicked cool, and since I’m part aboriginal (N. American) I think they are perfect for me!!!
When will they be coming to Canada? I’m presently using used Cloud gear, but would love a set of these…
Are these available In South Africa?
How much are they to be costing ? wanting to get a pair myself ;D
They will be available in South Africa from the start of 2011 but can be organised in the mean time on special order. The lead on this however will be one to two months. Contact shane on shane@obosa.co.za or 053 8026355 for more details
Sweet thanks
When do they come to the US? I really need a new set of gear, and I’m hoping these won’t be outrageously expensive…I hope they come in other colours, soon. Can’t wait!!
At the moment there are two colour options: green with black tattoo and black with white tattoo. They should be available in the US from the middle of the year.
will there be handguards to accompany these babies later on?
We’ve made some sample hand protectors so if the demand is there we’ll certainly add them to the range.
I would definetly Buy a pair of hand guards
i have seen keepers playing with the gear but with the green it does not fit the other gear so looks very out of place hand protectors would be a good idea for keepers who like looking good on the field
The sample hand protectors look great too, bring them on. Although being a true Aussie it is a little painful wearing that much black with a bit of white on it. At least its on a silver fern though!
@ Big Eagle where’d u see the hand protectors?
Quick Question How Much Are The HR rebound’s Goin to cost in UK? want to get a pair dunno how much i need to save though 😀
are the legguards going to be a hi control option too? im obsessed! Especially since my team is the “green terror”!
@vicci Sorry… the tattoo range will be available in hi rebound only.
@Duncadunc We’re just refining the tattoos we’re going to use. Hopefully we can add some images here soon.
oh my god, gona have to get these bad boys, don’t think my club will fund it tho, so own pocket it is, but who cares…they look swaaaheeet!
I saw these last weekend at a tourney in California. they are sick
I Hope they can put the tatoo on the Fatboy stick aswell!
Anymore news on the hand protectors?! 😀
When will the next Sale be on around ?
Our sale is held in November.
Great Thanks Admin 😀
Awesome!
What colour range ?
any new junior range?
@ ken cooney
hey
I am pretty sure that the tribal only comes in the bright green displayed in the picture.
also the tattoo style is currently only available on high rebound pads, so unless the junior is wearing hi rebounds, I am not thinking that they would be able to get the tattoo pads
I think the Robo tattoo pads are AWSOME!
I ‘d like to have such a tattoo on my forearm one day!
I am 8 years old now :[
hi i am a keeper looking 4 a good kit and I like yours .The tattoo pads+kikkers are AWSOME! How much money will it cost 4 them?
soooooo where can I pick up a pair?
@Kyran Coonie
@viccie
The price and Where you can get them differs depending on where you are in the world.
If you want an estimated price: In Australia they are $799.95
Have a look on: http://www.obo.co.nz/?#Products/WhereToBuy
have a look on that website to find a distributor, then you could give them a ring to see if they could get you some tattoos and how much they cost.
My friend has some of these and I can tell you they are definitely great pads and look amazing.
Is there any news on the hand gaurds? Ive just got the tattoo kickers and leg pads but so want (and need) new hand gaurds 😀
These are awesome!!! I wish I could get them, but I’m outta luck because of the price 🙁
