Can anyone else think of a sport that does more awful and ridiculous "innovations" than hockey?

I'd have to add the Nike Ignite hockey gloves without finger breaks. 

I remember those, I think I even used them.  I don't remember too much of an issue because they were flexable enough, maybe the thought is without the breaks, there are less weak spots.  I use Winnwell gloves now though, and love them.

Thanks for the ideas everyone, a few of them I already had on my radar, but some of them were brand new to me.  Tried to cram as many as I could in there.  Anyways, here is the list:

Some thoughts:

The Hespeler "offset" sticks and blades of the late 90s.  The claimed benefit was that they were supposed to keep your hands in front of the puck.

TBlades - I am still baffled by these.

Mission's 3-finger gloves of the late 90s/early 00s.  I had a pair of these and actually really liked them.  The claimed benefit was that they combined two weaker fingers into one stronger one.  I don't know if I buy that, but they were comfortable (perhaps veering a bit too close to hockey mittens)

Cooperalls

Some good ones in here, I forgot about those ninja turtle gloves.

Hey everyone, I am working on a youtube video to showcase the oddest hockey gear of all time.  I already made a video about the oddest goalie gear that you can see here:

But I wanted to know what everyone thinks the oddest SKATER gear is, and there is know better place to ask than ModSquad.  

 

[Custom Skates / Ice to Inline Conversion]

I never intended to get inline skates at first. I owned 2 pair of ice skates. I am pretty particular, I only use Bauer 5000 or above, and I have small feet, size 6. I was in a thrift shop and saw that they had a pair of ice skates, the only had one pair. I took a look at them and they were Bauer Supreme 5000s, size 6. Even though I already had 2 pair, I felt that I could not pass up the chance to by my brand of skate, and since they were only selling them for $7, I felt that I could not loose.

But then i had 3 pair of skates, and only one pair of feet. I eventually had the idea to turn one pair into an inline pair. I got a brand new Chassis, on clearance off Peranis for less than $20 shipped, and ended up with a $27 pair of inline skates that I would use over most high end models on the market today.
