Glove Colors

[jp21 0]

Hi everyone, I would like to get your opinion on this. With hockey booming in other developing countries, the local national association and I are in partnership of designing new gloves for the local community. With all the style from everyone in the Americas and Europe, I wanted to see which color variant would be the most popular in your standpoint. I want to help create a new look for our clubs and hopefully create a new hockey boom in the most obscure places... Hopefully reaching hockey to more people. It would be very much appreciated if you'd participate in this poll.

I've always followed the mentality of "you look good, you play good", hopefully we are able to bring out the flash and finesse.

There are 8 color variants and if possible, you'll need to select your top 3 picks.

Thank you so much for all your help! As of today, the most common are: all black, all red, black and white

Your vote is very much appreciated!

Black should be the first choice. Black gloves go with every uniform. However, you should consider any sort of popular youth teams in your area and match colorways with theirs. They will usually buy gloves that match, and if your product is well conceived you can create customers that way.

NOT true. Black equipment will look horrible with a red white and blue jersey and socks (just a specific example). If you've ever seen a guy with a Canadiens/Rangers/Canucks/whatever-doesn't-have-any-black-on-it jerseys and socks with black equipment, you know what I'm talking about

it's different yet safe

Agreed, it's the most versatile colorway; especially for younger kids playing house league.

Sweet thanks for the replies guys. True, the "all black" is by far the most popular for sure. It should go well with the basic colors.

Yes that is also correct with the 3 color jerseys (rangers etc...), production of those will come after the first few basic production colors first.

Anything but White IMO

Solid colors in black, red, and navy or blue would work best IMO. I wouldn't buy the greatest gloves in the world if they didn't come in black to match my team.

solid colors Jarick noted above are definitely the way to go. Good luck!

Yeah, this.

Think of the Red Wings.

Yea, the red wings color scheme is one that must use solid color gloves. Also any two color tone team like the leafs and coyotes.

I was thinking going carbon, look is great and extremely lightweight. Do you guys have any thoughts?

Oh by the way, thank you to those that voted and replied, lots of help thank again!

I'd definitely go with nylon. The biggest advantage of it is the broken in feel you get with it right off the rack.

[Jarick 5]

I'd go nylon since it's lighter and breathes better.

[sharks25 9]

All I use is nylon. I hate breaking in gloves. The nylon is flexible even when brand new and is lightweight.

[jp21 0]

Yes nylon is very light as well. I was wondering why carbon isnt popular? too flashy?

It looks pretty subtle with dark colors and its light if not lighter than nylon. But, nylon in general, is a very reliable and lightweight material.

[17D1998 1]

Well carbon is supposedly not as durable as its counterparts and yes, it is kind of flashy. You can't go wrong with nylon

[Jarick 5]

Carbon looks cheap to me, like a plastic toy.

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

I think a combination of nylon and carbon looks good. I haven't used my customs a whole lot but I feel like carbon will get scuffed up more so just have smaller parts of the glove be carbon. IE cuff or some stripes.

I think all black, all blue, and all red would be the most popular sellers. I can see entire teams buying solid colors so everyone looks good wearing the same gear. However, I think two color gloves can really pop!
