Gear Sightings 2011-2012 Gear Sightings

[chippa13 1844]

if this were simply the discussion of "new" gear, the thread would not have reached 70 pages for this season.

Because each year there are 40 pages of........

"Wasn't {insert player here} in Bauer last week?"

"Yeah."

"Well, he had an Easton at practice today."

"But he was always a Bauer guy."

"I heard he was switching to Reebok."

"Nah, he had Reebok 2 months ago."

"Oh."

"Hey, just saw {insert player here} using Easton at practice."

"See above."

Member since December 31, 2010 with 12 posts = ballsy post!!! With that being said, I wonder how many of Chippa13's 7691 posts are similar to his example noted above? But I find myself not really that interested in researching it so I move on to something far more constructive but before I go, I'll add this pearl of wisdom.......

If you don't like a thread's content, then don't click the link to the thread!!!!

"Just because you don't have a letter on your sweater doesn't mean you can't be a leader."

Over the past 2 months I'm happy this thread has ditched the "nightly switches". The thread is "2011-2012 Gear Sightings", as in the newest stuff that hasn't hit the retail market that we have not seen on the ice, not "2011-2012 nightly switching things up thread."

Am I right mods?

[willharris7 4]

We probably shouldn't be complaining about posts about nightly switches if 9 of the past 10 posts are arguing over posts about nightly switches

5 or soo years ago everystick was bursting with color and flash now its kind of become darker theme

Speaking of color, we've all seen 'odd' colors like green, pink and yellow being used, but I don't think there ever has been a PURPLE stick before? Is that our only untouched colorway?

Think Nike Bauer had most of the colours covered, besides purple at least by the looks:

Here's the deal; I see both sides of the argument.

Yes, this thread is about any new sightings of equipment, primarily NHL. But the problem is, it may be a "new" sighting to a person, and that's where situations like this arise.

MSL is the poster boy for this thread. He is an untouchable!

(technically not a new sighting, but a new colorway)

I noticed on Saturday that Andrew Brunette was wearing RS gloves. They look great in the Hawks colors.

[HockeySavants 5]

He wore them briefly, seems like he went back to his Franchises since. I think even in Hawks colors they look weird.

[number21 3]

photo is from saturday. and on getty he wore them last night too. I did see photos of him in Dec with franchises.

Another Krown 360 sighting..

[5 Minute Major 1]

The Krown is growing on me. I'm gonna snatch up one of these and the Bauer Nexus when they are available. If they fit my pumpkin head of course. lol

[Louie 28]

Krown definitely looks good in white.

[HockeySavants 5]

Jeff Skinner in APX gloves.

Or maybe they are TOs

[dumbpolak9 1]

David Clarkson in Eagles vs Easton e-pros?

[Xodius 3]

Erik Karlsson using the Bauer Reakt after taking a retaliatory elbow to the head from Evander Kane last night.

Pretty sure they are TO's

Noticed MSL26 using a Warrior last night. Not sure of the model due to the flashy paint job.

I know I've been gone for a long while, but when did NHL players get callsigns?

[jbss71 1]

I dunno Goose,
