    I don't really have much equipment worthy of showing off besides my One95's for roller (which I have posted pics of way too many times to post them again here) and my beloved Mark Rycroft Easton 4-rolls. These gloves are flat out amazing and I love 'em. They originally had a mustang palm but I didn't like it so I had FIBM replace it with a black clarino single layer palm. I also used a DecoColor black paint pen to black out Rycroft's name, which after 2 coats got pretty black - it looks lighter here than it really is because I bounced the flash because lighting in my family room sucks. Besides being feather-light and feeling great on my hands, these gloves just "look" cool. I'm a sucker for traditional cuffs, traditional cuff rolls and straight backrolls. I cannot recommend Easton 4-rolls to people enough looking for top feel and performance from a glove (pro stock/pro return - not the crappy retail ones).

    you could try oxyclean paste.

    i haven't tried it, but i have thought about it for may maple leafs looking 5000's and 4-rolls.

    I used the DecoColor extra fine (black) on my Easton 4-rolls last night. On the side of the palm, it says "Rycroft" in white embroidery. I used the pen on it and the first coat darkened it, but not enough to where I wanted it (Spinal Tap Black). So I waited an hour and did it again and that second coat made it really, really black. I did it again before I went to bed but it didn't seem to make a difference. So, bottom line - 2 coats are definitely needed, but as of yet, no "purpling." I'll try to get pics up later.

    The real test (for me anyway) is how it will work on the NBH 4-roll backrolls.

    Not before I do it first.

    ;)

    (Even though Fletch has us both beat)

    Here's a quick mock-up of my next creation.....should be done by next month if all goes well. I have everything but the boots - I figure these will match up nice with my rollers :)

    Fletch, does your ache like hi heaven when it gets crappy out. I've got a 6 inch plate in my right arm with 6 screws. Man is it painful 10 years later. I got blindsided at center ice with mine.

    Yep. Isn't that the weirdest thing? Sometimes I get what I call "stingers" if I hit it on something, or get hit in a game and it basically makes my arm so painful I can barely rotate the forearm for a week. I also have a 4 inch plate on my radius in that arm. The first time I broke it I literally broke it in half to where it looked like I had 2 elbows. It was gnarly ;).

    just bought them off ebay yesterday to replace my navy/baby blue NBHone90s :D

    Missconduct, those are beauties. I wonder how one would go about ordering custom ones like that from Warrior, since their site doesn't allow you to do that color scheme........(?)
