Why can't company's just make a traditional glvoe like the HG1 or Easton customs and just continue to improve it each year? These don't even look like hockey gloves now.

I agree 110%.

I mean heck, I didn't even mind like the quest 1's and stuff. I would actually rather see them bring out a new quest glove than this ugly piece of garbage. Where have all the poly inserts gone in bauer's gloves too? they got none in these or the XX.

The new supreme gloves DO look like ass. The One90 gloves are probably the ugliest things I've ever seen...

What if he doesn't like your helmet?

[Jim A 4]

im mostly inlove with the One60 Woody and the XXX Lite Pants. Then it's the ONE90 skates. 90 glove, not so much but it looks interesting.

the pants are great...JR, now I don't have to get you pics :D they are pretty similar...and dry quickly as well..

Most of the guys wear the same helmets in our leagues :P I was just trying to make a point.

and the winner of the One90 gloves and trip to halifax goes to .......DrewHunz!!!!! lmao

the one90 gloves look like veloceraptors to me :D

the weirdest part by far is that wrap around palm, but it looks pretty comfortable.

also, what's the diff. between the XXX lite and hte XXX? seems exactly the same. and 420 grams isn't really light enought to deserve the extra "lite" what with 400 and sub 400 gram sticks around.

[Edge 0]

From what i hear of those who have held the XXX lite, they say that it seems much lighter than the XXX and better balenced. Easton actually picked up the wieght on the stealths from what the catalogue says, so it seems like at least these two companies are trying to make a better stick all around, not just all lightweight. <_<

[Gongshow11 1]

quick question, they keeping the vapor xx skate and its look or are they changing anything with it?

[Andoy 5]

I actually like these gloves! The Red/blue color on the catalogue doesn't do them justice. If you guys look at Naslund's color scheme on the other thread they look pretty good!

I believe the Vapor XX is officially canceled

The new One90 gloves look like Rock climbing gloves lol! The one90 skates look slightly different to the earlyer pictures we had of them.

Like the new skate holders tho! :D

[sogaduch 0]

just saw the one90 skate today and ordered a custom pair from my rep. Thing I heard incase it hasnt been noted is the steel from the one90 wont fit into the holder of a XXX. the boot looks great and there a skinny heel and a very shallow ankle depth so be good for me since im in the G3's. Also got a jacket from that unlock your game event which is super nice

I agree. Traditional style gloves (or whatever random product you can imagine, hockey or non-hockey products alike) will never be "out of style" but will always be around even if they're slightly modified and improved once in a while. The modern funky style stuff will be hip for a year or two and then cease to exist, only to get replaced by some other weird non-traditional design.

Reminds me of when Mission tried to go with all those funky 3 fingered gloves....they finally saw the light and went to the traditional styling and 4 fingered gloves.

Problem with Nike (Which RBK has avoided) is when they are in a "new" area of sport...they gimmick it up first before the get it right.

Most customers want evolution....not revolution. Nike seems to always to try revolutionize their product line instead of evolving them.

You would be surprised to hear how many people in the industry liked the three finger glove.

I don't see a reason bauer ever stopped production on the supreme 5000 gloves. They were great.

But what kind of marketshare are they going to get with two "high tech" lines of gloves. The top ones, which the older players who are fully grown will supossedly buy, many more people who are fully grown are adults, who would defenately rather have something more traditional.

And just for the record, is there any traditional backrolled gloves besides the L7, Eagles, and MIA's? Should the easton's second 2 be counted?

Also, I think whoever's idea it was to have that ackward looking NBH logo on the stuff should be shot. It looks awful. Why couldn't they just make the shoosh with the Bauer "B" thing on the front?
