most worn nhl pants

[jro2711 0]

i've always wondered what pants most nhl players use. are they modified for them? how so?

i think that next season that most all of the players will have to wear rbk's.

is this true?

I can't see the NHL forcing players with endorsement contracts to wear one manufacturer's pant. NBH, Easton, RBK, CCM, Tackla all make pro stock pants...and I don't think the NHL would want to get into that kind of a pissing contest. From the sweater/jersey perspective, the NHL can enforce teams to use a single vendor for the purposes of uniformity, but not individual equipment. It could be possible to force them to use a shell from a single vendor, but certainly not the pant itself.

Most players wear a shell of whoever they endorse.

The NHL is not making the players wear the RBk pants this year...

RBK owns CCM..

Not everybody....look at EWH pro stock pants as an example...plenty of Easton and NBH (Bauer 5000) pants around. Old habits last.

there was a little talk about the rbk pushing people to wear their pants with their jerseys, but i guess it fell through

[trevor13478 1]

they will all be wearing the new RBK jerseys next year, but i don't think they have to wear the pants

This has no basis except what I see in pictures, but here goes:

CCM 520's seem to still be all over the place

Tackla 5000x's

Easton Air's

I would say those are the biggies. I may be way off here.......

I could see the league making players wear matching RBK shells for the RBK jerseys.

More likely than not, other manufacturers will have the ability to match up shells to the new jerseys. I don't see them giving up that kind of advertisement opportunity without a fight.

Where is JR??? Most pros wear a two-piece that isn't available to fools like us. Hence the abundance of padded pro shells on ebay.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Last I heard - RBK shell next year. What they wear under it is up to the player.

i see a number of ccm pro girdles out there too.

Sorry i meant next year but the year after that i think RBK will push (very hard) for all the players to wear RBK pants

From what I've seen, the RBK pants (pro stock) hold up better than any other companies pants. Last year (D1 college) we replaced all our guys pants mid-season (Easton), this year we haven't replaced any(RBK). The Easton pants went to crap by the end of the season, even being replaced mid-season. Too bad the RBK is not a retail pant. I imagine where the equipment guys have their say, they're pushing the RBK pants. I've talked to a few guys that have been swaying their guys into them.

The press release during the all star game stated that the NHL players will not be required to wear RBK pants next season (2007/2008). Beyond that I don't know.

I can't imagine that NBh is happy with that at all. I guess they'll have to settle for not having their name/logo displayed on pants or a bigger off-ice marketing campaign.
