shoeshine boy

I am officially a glove whore!

Recommended Posts

the "pro shop" at my local rink is having an insane sale on Eagle gloves.

despite the fact that I didn't "need" them I purchased a pair of Eagle X-4 Flash gloves in a REALLY cool silvery blue for $35.

this pair will join my maroon Easton Airs which are on their last legs, my green Easton Airs and my Atlanta Thrashers colored MIAs.

this is my first pair of Eagles. I can't wait to try them out later this week! :)

4 Pair of gloves makes you a whore? TBL?

actually I DO have 2 more pairs that I forgot about. a pair of maroon Easton synergy 500s that are just a wee bit too big and a pair of navy Easton Ultra Lights that I use for shooting on my backyard net.

does 6 pairs make me a glove whore? ;)

My collection is 80+ pairs of gloves. I have been collecting gloves off ebay since 1998. I'm putting up some custom Eagle gloves from Little Caesars for the Show It Off thread now.

I think declaring yourself a whore automatically disqualifies you as being a whore.

Admitting it is the first step.

Glove count: 8

Stick count: about 60 I think. :blink:

LOL.

I have TWO pair of gloves (TPS R8 Pro Lite, and Easton Synergy Prostock which I am waiting for from ebay), and my wife asks me, "why in the world would you need two pairs of hockey gloves?"

I said, "why in the world do you have over SEVENTY pairs of designer shoes?.....in a custom walk-in closet I built you no less?"

She said, "touche....enjoy the gloves"

I'm not a whore, but I sure do have whore-like feelings....

I honestly cant justify a reason for owning more than 2 pair in my present situation. An all black pair for pick up, and a pair that matches my team colors. Truth be told, I only NEED one pair....but I justify it to myself as having a "back-up" pair. I will only get another pair if I change teams/colors, or one wears out. Hard to spend money on something you really dont need when it could go into a 401k or 529....or even a nice night out with the family.....all about balance. But I still look at gloves online or TV and covet them.

I have 4 pairs, trying to sell 2.... trying to buy 3-4 more :P

I want Vapor XXX, Bauer 4-rolls, an Eagle set in tufftek, another random pair of something else... I like choices. Some people collect coins and spend $300 on a nickel from 1805, I like hockey equipment and my 14 sticks and 4 sets of gloves show it.

yeah at least this is one thing that most women cant pick on us about - most of the ones i know readily admit they have 20+ shoes

there are a lot of worse things we could be spending the money on

3x Gloves. Two pairs of Vapor XXX pro stock (ex Wings) and a retail pair of TPS R8's.

Oh and for the record, declaring yourself a whore actually makes you more of one because you are advertising. ;)

I'm a woman but I only have 3-4 pairs of shoes. I have 5 pairs of gloves. I feel its always good to have 2+ because I play tournament weekends where you have 4 games and if I only used one pair, they would be tore up. I would be up to 10 pairs but I gave a couple away to people starting up.

All I want are some Dallas Stars Easton 4 rolls with Green easton lettering on the cuff and some white 4 rolls. Then I'll probably be done with gloves for a while....

I have a dozen or so, usually no more than two pair in rotation at any one time. I've been using my CP94s almost exclusively but it's just about time to send them out for new palms and modify the gussets to my specs. I may have to get some R8s in the meantime.

Just for gits and shiggles, let's see how many I can remember: (in no particular order)

Cp94 coyote red

MSH Heliums

White Helium 750s

Hespeler Sundin

Hespeler classic pro (originals)

Graf 700 (original)

TPS R2 two pair I think

DR Vintage

TPS Bionic

Salming PG1
