you may be talking about mine: they were my first pair of Eagle PPFi's and my favorites of the 5 pairs I own.
-
I'd say it's Oilers / the old Vancouver navy. pretty dark.... yeah, I'm not really a fan of white gloves either, mostly because I don't have the skill to back up flashy gear :lol: but I figured I'd buy them anyway. they are brand new, never used. now I have a complete set of MIAs: 1 carbon, 1 tufftek and one leather.

my new Eagle PPFi navy gloves from the $99 Hockey Monkey deal: MIA gloves bought off of Ebay:
-
personally I hate the white stitching that Warrior does down the front. when my custom Franchises got here I went to the craft store and got a black fabric marker and a maroon fabric marker to "color in" the stitching. you could probably also use a Sharpie but I went with the fabric markers just to be sure. results can be seen here: custom franchises
-
nice! are you going to "color in" the white stitching on the navy?
-
that's maroon. the red is much brighter. I requested silver/gray outline for the print but I think Warrior goofed it. it wasn't a big enough deal for me to send them back. I got these through the Pro Stock Hockey Gear deal so including the Kovy pro style and number on the thumb I paid $237 which included shipping. I think that deal goes until 6/1. Ice Warehouse has/had a similar deal for 15% Warrior customs which came out to a similar price with the options I had.
-
I went to the craft store today to get a fabric pen to color in the white stitching on my new Warrior customs. before: after: like the new look MUCH better!
-
plenty of folks have gotten extra custom options such as different cuffs and gussets but yes, the customization is mostly about colors and embroidered names and numbers. other things available on the customizer include different palms and foams.
-
what did they mess up? they got something slightly wrong on mine. I was supposed to have silver as the outline color but they did white instead. I still liked it so I just kept the gloves they sent.
-
hmmm...what material are you going with for the white? I like the last one best but I'd have concerns about keeping all that white clean.....
-
personally I find the silver carbon a little too flashy. I did it on my first pair of customs: for my second pair (made to replace the first pair after I decided I should've upsized rather than downsized) I went with leather (classic) for the silver rather than the carbon. I'm 1000% happier with it: I have since blacked out the white stitching on the black carbon stripe. re-edited with picture sized correctly. sorry about that mods. when I previewed it the pic wasn't that big.
-
I thought so too at first but it feels different than the others, softer and not as thick. I dunno, maybe it's a mind trick.
-
well, hell...thought I had my answer....I'll try to get a pic up tonight or tomorrow. edit: pic inserted looking at it it's not as grey as I thought. it's really more white. is it just a single layer version of the micronash combo? it seems softer than that to me.......
-
yep! that's it!
-
I don't really know. I bought them "off the rack" from Pure Hockey for $50. it's a different palm from all my other MIAs and Franchises. some kind of single-layer palm?
-
no, really. I have both so I should know but maybe I shouldn't say "even better".....they are just as soft as MSH2 but without that "slickness" that some people (not me) don't like. I don't play in them too much though so I'm willing to bet the durability isn't as good as MSH2. probably won't find out for a REALLY long time. :)
-
you should feel the palms. even better than MSH2. in tufftek they wouldn't be so flashy. :)
-
I think the narrows provide a nice snug fit and the new "blooming cuff" allows for a little more wrist mobility than older versions, imo. I wasn't sure I'd like the blooming cuff but I do.
-
I went back and forth with the black and silver stripes. I wanted the inside stripe to be carbon though and judging from my MIAs that have carbon silver stripes (see below) I was afraid it would be too flashy if I went with black classic on the pinky and silver carbon on the inside stripe.
-
yeah, it was my "minor" special request. I wanted that raised look. the cuff name wasn't a problem because silver is a stitch color option on the customizer but maroon is not. so glad they were able to make it happen. :)
-
Fedex dropped off my custom Franchises today: I plan on using a fabric marker to do away with the white stitching...
-
I'm not sure you overpaid. you didn't get a bargain but you paid a fair price for that jersey, imo. I was watching that auction and considered bidding but went after a pair of MIA gloves instead. I'd pay that much and more if I could find a Thailand jersey. *cough cough*
-
beauties! I'm waiting until mine are in my hands before I post pics though I will tell you they were the first ones from this batch that they posted on Facebook. :)
-
I like the way you think! nice "Whaler" collection. LOVE the Vaughns!
-
wow TBL those are just....just wow!
