Kovalev with white Reeboks?

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

Eagle did it with gloves, why not skates?

[EBondo 233]

However, I honestly think the "signature" thing is doable -

RBK/CCM - take notes -

Do the Ovechkin model, do Kovalev, do whatever other marquee players, and stitch their auto on the tendon guard. Sell them as a limited run, numbered.

I'll take all of the credit, and a signature skate of my own. That's all I require.

We talked about that in the Ovechkin chrome skate thread. It's a great idea, and it definitely would sell. Like RadioGaGa said, it works in any other sport, baseball with gloves, basketball and football with shoes, why not hockey skates?

really though imagine how much money THC could make with ovechkin vector 10.0's and kovalevs rbk 9k pumps

Not a significant amount. How many people on the board go with CCM/Rbk? Now out of those, who would buy/use either of those two players' models? It's a good idea but it also has a very small target audience. Then again I'm going off of my experience with kids around here that aren't simply buying a brand/model just because a certain player uses it.

Yes, I had mentioned it in there and a couple of times before that.

Don't try to take credit ;)

We did this in my industry and it worked great. People will $$$ more just for the look.

BTW; Sorry JR I missed that blog.

But where would they package the bitterness? ;)

Don't get me started on being bitter...especially with what happened to me at work. God, they could've used Gusto-Glide, you know...

Kovalev switches back to his old skates during intermision. Latendresse with two goals.

Hey A-K,

Was Kovy wearing the 9K's tonight? I missed the first period. GO HABS GO!!!

[magnanto 0]

Yup, he was wearing them, first time in a game I think - pretty sure about second period as well (missed part of it and didn't get a good look) - but switched back to the old ones for the third. And yes, go HABS go.

Ya know, looking at my 'white' skates which resemble every stitch of kovy's except the tongue, maybe mine are badged a 1052 and are not really? They are Shatslivy's old skates (I have two pairs), so they are pro skates - and pro skates are known to be all over the place in terms of what they really are and what they are badged as. They are dead ringers for Kovy's, every stitch, every cut.

Not sure what that will bring to the conversation, but...

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

He has started the game with his RBK but he has finished the game with his old CCM.

[DP_57 1]

They probably won't make to the public, nor to everybody who still get custom skates. The Ovechkin are going to thought. Probably after Chritmas or something.

the most amazing thing about the pic is not eh RBK's...it's the fact that Kovy is in the defensive zone.

...I'm just sayin'

I can't believe you guys laugh at him when this guy is one of the most talented player in the game. But guys who can't do a croossover correctly like Souray, Latendresse or Ryder are glorify.

[mack 44]

They hustle, get over it. Next.

You're making me laugh and giving me a headache at the same time.

[DP_57 1]

lol, I got you, look at latendresse and ryder crossover. lol. Nice goal anyway by lat yesterday on koivus pass.

I've figured out kovalev's true calling. Golf.

Not only does this guy have crazy forearms, but for golf, he can take his time, be pretty, take some more time, and wait until the perfect moment. Right temperature, right wind speed, and right lunar position and make a good shot.

He'll be big time competition for tiger for sure.
