Just so I’m not going crazy here, the gloves I just received from Melon are definitely very different to what was advertised?

It’s super disappointing, I liked the blue that is shown off on their website but getting a pair today, there’s no blue at all. It’s just all black?

I’ve contacted Melon about it and just waiting to hear back but I’m not sure what they’d do about it.

Yeah, If I ordered blue gloves and they were black, I’d be sending them back.

Doesn’t match you helmet?

Wouldn’t they need to be purple?

I think that’s a lighting issue.

Wouldn’t do if they were blue anyway, I just like bright colours!

I was going to say lighting but all the pictures on the website show the same purple background.

I thought it could be lighting but yeah, in person the purple/blue part is completely black. Under no conditions I’ve just tried them in is there any other colour whatsoever.

The ones you received aren’t blue – but they are nicer! 🙂

To be absolutely sure, could you add a picture of you wearing them while holding your hands up in front of a big lamp and screaming with joyful laughter in the background?

Not sure about the joyful laughter but maybe later! 😀

Black hides dirt better ! Black is the new blue ! It wouldn’t twist my melon man ! Etc etc

I’m cross that there are no melons on them

i have these gloves. They are very comfy and function well.

Mine are defo black. Melon are pretty sound, so i have no doubt they will offer a refund on return.

nothing to do with being sound (or not), it’s their legal obligation!

If it isn’t the colour you wanted, just send them back…unless you are function over form and then just ride them as they will work exactly the same as the right coloured versions.

If you look at the edge of the fingers on the website photo, you can see the black fabric in between the fingers etc, which is def. a different colour to the backing. On the OP’s photo the two colours (in between and backing) are the same.
So personally I don’t think it’s a lighting issue.

As an alternative, if you get your money back and they still can’t help. perhaps you might find something in here? https://handupgloves.com/en-gb/collections/all-gloves

My Granny used to have some curtains in that pattern.

The blue ones gross me out, not that thrilled about the black either, it’s a matter of taste I suppose, some don’t have any 😂

Yeah the picture vs the product are misleading.

If you like bright gloves then I recommend FIST gloves. They are really nice quality and have fun bright designs. Mine have a leopard firing lasers 🙂

Example

Agree with Barney, different background colour to advertised. Should’ve gone with the doughnut design.

That’s definitely just down to the flash and the post processing of the photos.

I’d just keep them. Gloves are basically consumables anyway.

Would sir be interested in this lovely floral scarf to go with the gloves?

They look like ladies gardening gloves.

^ ^ ^ YES! ^ ^ ^

+1 Granny’s favourites for a spot of pruning.

I assumed you’d ordered them based on the first photo and the second photo was you looking at them on your hands and wondering why anyone would buy something so vile, tacky and tasteless 😂

@BadlyWiredDog, I do think the lady in the scarf should have been allowed a wee break before work commenced, that pic is on the internet forever now!

Could be worse, I have the leopard print ones 🐆

FFS OP, gloves should be serious items for serious men!!! Ggrrrr
