Gear Sightings 2009-2010 Gear Sightings

I love old school CHL jerseys. That said, in the OHL they destroyed the classic Petes jersey and Sudbury is now a disaster. In the WHL, Brandon Wheat Kings looks like a practice jersey and Swift Current Broncos now look like junk. At least they did not ruin the Red Deer Rebels, the meanest logo in the CHL. I couldn't even look at the rest. What a nightmare. I feel sorry for the fans of these teams who go to the games!!

couldnt agree more. London got a complete overhaul of what I thought was one of the better home/away sets in the CHL, even though the retro look is kind of cool. I have no idea how the people at Reebok can think these designs actually look better. thin piping that runs up the jersey vertically, stripes that dont wrap all the way around the sleeves... none of it makes sense.

Mississasauga, Plymouth away, Sudbury, Peterborough, Barrie, Erie, and some others all got destroyed and look terrible.

makes big sense now... all those guys have worn tackla or RBK here in carolina at some point (guess some guys switched, since rbk has nothing to do with them, just a common theme)... i didnt know they were scrapping the tackla name.

so, does that mean that in retail we'll see eagle pants? will they only be canada/nhl specific?

They were on display at the show and Eagle dealers should have them by now. Player gear will be branded Eagle, goalie gear will remain Vaughn

I've already seen some Eagle pants here and there.

You left out Warroir buys Montreal (owner of Tackla name which licensed to Vaughn for North America)

IMO - Probably wanted to make the transfer to Eagle with existing pro teams so Warrior couldn't capitize on the already established brand awareness.

It is always fun when you get a chance to amend the almighty JR's comments. :lol:

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Haha...

sakuuuuuuuu

[SuperMan3 1]

Wow, that looks weird.

[shotty 7]

i totally forgot about him going to orange.

[Jason91 0]

Looking pretty good with the new Reebok lid though.

[flyguy1697 0]

Saku's gloves look real nice. He doesn't look half bad in the Reebok helmet either.

[Dupes 1]

He was back in a CCM helmet yesterday

[Louie 28]

Malkin is wearing some funky skates, they sort of look like 60s, but there are no labels or anything, they have a lot of white on them.

[shotty 7]

i picked up an S19 from the canucks camp last night. i guess it was left behind.

[chippa13 1844]

Sweet, next time I see a car parked that I like, I'll "pick that up", too.

Those?

[Louie 28]

Yup

[Chadd 916]

Last season he had a pair of skates like Gonchars made up for him

[Louie 28]

Ahhhh... makes sense, I know he was in XXXXs and x60s and I noticed these this morning.

[Krev 86]

Forget about the skates, look at the gloves that Cooke (I think it's Cooke, at first glance) is wearing in that same picture. That is a very bold/funky color scheme.

what company made the skates for them?
