Bauer one95 update

[fultonreed 1]

was in our local LHS - all kinds of banter about the '09 one95 upgrade. anyone have accurate info on what kind of upgrade is on the books? thanks

are we talking about........skates? sticks? gloves?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Current NBH ONE95 equipment remains unchanged.

There will be a ONE95 protective line and glove.

[Cove 39]

Will the skates be re-branded as BAUeR? Or just the protective line, and glove?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Seriously, how many times have I answered this question?

The ONE95 product that came out THIS year will be the last NBH product. Anything NEW in 2009 will be Bauer. And seriously, the BAUeR thing is getting ANNOYING.

yeh i can read thank you !

but these do have the nike bauer logo

[Gummer12 134]

and they came out...WHEN? This Year.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

I mean, really.

Seriously does it really matter if its Bauer or NikeBauer? They both originate in the same place for crying out loud.

Thank you.

Well, it does. If you change the skates and the sticks to Bauer logos, then it gives the impression to customers that the NBH product is old. So, by letting the 2008 NBH product die out as NBH, it eliminates that. That's why the new ownership had rights to the NBH logo for 18 months after the sale.

[larrivee 3]

Yeah, but this one goes to 11. Or 12kkkkkkkkk.

[Rustpot 1]

Yeah, but this one goes to 11. Or 12kkkkkkkkk.

That made absolutely no sense.

I'm personally just not a fan of the way the swoosh looks, I was almost angry when it showed up and am happy it will be gone. I know Nike brought some good things to the table and whatnot, but I will be more inclined to wait and buy the next iteration of product from Bauer after the swoosh is phased out. Lets hope the 4-rolls only get better with the next iteration.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

New liner in them.

[All Flash 49]

lol

did i just see the word 'iteration' twice in the same paragraph?

;)

Interesting. I like the Dri-Fit liner. Equipment dries out nice and quick.

Will the liner be anything like Dri-Fit on the new One95 protective line?

People complain about Nike, and I'm not sure why (other then people just being biased and not liking the 'Swoosh'?), that is one of the many things that Nike did for Bauer, the fabric technology was great. Dri-Fit, Nike Memory Foam, Nike Air technology, Nike Vent Armor, Grip Print... it is those things that make the One90 line of protective as good as they are... Hopefully Bauer builds on that.

Bauer never had a problem putting out great skates... however, if memory serves, Bauer's equipment was crap until Nike came along.

Bauer never had an equipment line until Nike came along.

Didn't Bauer have the FLAK line of protective gear? Or did that not come about till after Nike bought them?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Ooh, good call. FLAK came out in the Canstar days.

Yes, it had the small Bauer logo on there. And FLAK definitely wasn't crap.

[McDougalfaschnitzer 32]

Flak was good stuff. I had the shoulder pads and pants and they were pretty nice.

[ntwusc 62]

My favorite Flak gear was the adjustable shin guards, until the adjustment screws came out at least

Nope, until last week, I still used my Flak shoulder pads from '93-94.

[Matt18 1]

Yeah I went through about 3 pairs of the shins they where great.
