    absolutely gorgeous! love the simplicity of the black and silver. just curious, why the red for the "other print" option?
  2. shoeshine boy
    oooo, I like! you did the number black on black? I love how that looks. did the same thing in maroon on the pair on the left 2 posts up. can't wait to see the finished product!

    be damn sure of the size. I wear PPFi's as well and my first pair of Franchise customs I ordered in a 12 inch and really wish I hadn't. the size gap difference between Warrior's 12 and 13 is probably the biggest of any 2 sizes. I've ordered 13 narrows since then. the glove on the right is a 12 and the glove on the left is a 13 narrow:
  4. shoeshine boy
    I must agree. have you been buying women's sneakers?
  5. shoeshine boy
    all of customs are 13N but I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask as I'm kind of a 12.5 size so the 13N isn't super tight on me and to me they just feel like a 4 roll. now my 13N Luxes on the other hand.....

    looks like the royal to me. my newest pair shows the range of blue pretty well: the gussets on mine are black mesh so if you look where the navy tufftek meets the gusset you can see how dark the Warrior navy is.
  7. shoeshine boy
    Warrior doesn't offer baby blue as an option for the binding. :(
  8. shoeshine boy
    my 8 week long wait is finally over! got an email into Joe. the binding was supposed to be navy not silver. might keep it this way depending on how much of a pain it'll be to fix it. this is my first pair with the Hossa cuff. loving the mobility. palms are mustang but it's a different mustang than my other pairs. it's kind of like a slightly fuzzy mustang. oh, and many thanks to Joe at Warrior USA for helping me with the special color zoning and the baby blue carbon thumb logo.

    he definitely switched out the steel from the original steel. Vapor 10s came with the perf steel. maybe like a lot of folks he was concerned about durability and took the steel off his old skates and placed it on these?
  10. shoeshine boy
    I think the underside is the main difference. the underside of the blooming cuff is one piece while the Kovy looks like it's 3 pieces.

    one month from order date to ship date. I did get in on the first day though.
  12. shoeshine boy
    so I walked up onto my front porch Monday afternoon and look what was waiting for me! navy with minimal graphics, velvet grip, shark skin blade, rounded handle, 65 flex, Lidstrom curve, name and number on shaft. woot!!!! can't wait to try it Wednesday at practice! interestingly enough my order status page didn't change until today even though it was shipped on 9/6.
  13. shoeshine boy
    thanks! I'm at 6 weeks right now and Joe also told me it would probably be around 9-10 weeks. I just know they're going to come while I'm on vacation!
  14. shoeshine boy
    gorgeous skate guards....the skates aren't bad either! :)
  15. shoeshine boy
    absolute beauties! I have similar colors but a base of navy on the pair they're making me right now. when did you put your order in? Gefiltefish, when did you put yours in?
  16. shoeshine boy
    they are from Demitra's time with the Kings though I haven't been able to photomatch them yet.

    I have a pair of Thrashers pro stock Hustlers but I haven't had a chance to play in them yet because the original player had the ab protector removed. I got a replacement from Joe at Warrior but haven't had a chance to sew it in. I definitely think that the Bonafides are more true to size than the Hustlers. they seem just as protective as the Hustlers. I do wish the zippers were a little more forward. color combos were why I took a chance on these. sadly though it looks like the team I bought them for will be splitting after this season.
  18. shoeshine boy
    two new items: Warrior Bonafide pants: Gloves won on Ebay the night BEFORE the Lokomotiv crash: I was going to try to remove the autographs so I could play with them. certainly won't be doing that now.
  19. shoeshine boy
    NICE! I recently got a used pair for my gf. she skated in them for the first time tonight and LOVED them. :)
  20. shoeshine boy
    try the "team" option. make sure you un-select the 14" Franchise that's pre-selected.
  21. shoeshine boy
    I heard about that and boy did it piss me off! I would've LOVED a shot at Burmistrov's and Enstrom's gloves. I was actually surprised that the guys at the practice rink managed to squirrel anything away.
  22. shoeshine boy
    most likely a repainted SE16. I was very unimpressed with the stick selection, even for lefties. talking to the rink guys before the masses got there they told me that all this stuff was stuff that had been "stashed away" when True North came to pack everything up.
  23. shoeshine boy
    you have to remember though, our team is now gone so there's no reason to be jealous of us. :( helmets were a good deal at $40, especially the M11 which is a $100+ helmet. other prices weren't as good as usual such as last fall when I got a pair of new Warrior Hustler pants for $30 but still in the "fair" category. oh, and I may end up kicking myself for not picking up Kovalchuk's white helmet which was $75
  24. shoeshine boy
    I was there about 11. it was me and one other guy in line when they said, "you can go ahead and let the pre-sale people in!" which turned out to be us. we had the run of the place for about 15 minutes. :) I did see that one Franchise. wish it had a mate. I thought that I had matched a pair of Boulton's Easton gloves until I realized one had yellow accents on the 4 rolls and the other didn't. :( one woman had Bryan Little's gloves but the palms were shredded so I passed.

    my haul from the Thrashers' final Atlanta sale: top row: Warrior bag (Ron Hainsey) 2nd row: Messier M11 helmet 3rd row l to r: navy practice jersey, Rebellion gloves (no name), CCM Vector helmet (white), Easton pants (Jim Slater) 4th row: Mission gloves (Brad Larsen), CCM Vector helmet (navy, decals and numbers), CCM Vector helmet (navy, no decals) bottom row: practice socks, 3rd jersey socks, workout shorts. prices were decent but not as great as last Fall. glove selection was disappointing. they had one box of single gloves that had a Warrior Creeper. it KILLED me that there was no mate to it. :( my teammate got the best item of the sale though for $5. a very special nameplate:
