tburk32 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 I noticed during the Flyers game that hatcher is still wearing his detroit pants with a black shell over them. Is it common for players to be that picky or superstitious about their pants??? I thought there might also be some other reasons that someone might know about and was just curious about it.edit: here is a picture that shows the red near the kidney protection http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/se...0%7c0&p=7&tag=4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fletch 219 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 A lot of players just use the pants that are more broken in (i.e. Hatcher's DET pants) so when they go to a new team they just put a shell on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly what I was getting at, you worded it better though. It's a pretty common thing, guys used to do this for the all star game a lot also, instead of wearing a brand new pair of pants.
