Looks interesting. I wonder whats up with the cutouts in the shoulders.

Probably just ventilation. I wonder if there will be shins as well.

From the looks, I like the shoulder caps...nice and big. And I agree with Cavs about the midsection...looks pretty bulky :/

I can't resist sarcasm when there's a chance.

Cue Guiness commercial

NB marketing meeting "We change the colors, and add and X"

Marketing VP " Brilliant!"

Is it just me, or do those shoulder pads look like they cover a ridiculous amount of the torso? Seems like it'd be overly restrictive.

They're 'Speed Holes". They make you go faster. :D

Speed holes is exactly what they are. They did extensive testing on cyclists and found the acutally decrease the wind resistance by 30%. and the caps are covered with the same material that Lance Armstrong wore when he raced.

I thought the new RBK Edge setup had that mantle taken care of? Are we letting that much air through now on our new jerseys?

I like the idea of more torso protection, it will save me from all the "accidental" spears that seem to find their way to my chest in games.

This was a joke. On an episode of The Simpsons, Homer was told by a salesman that a car that had bullet holes were "speed holes" and they were supposed to make the car go faster.
