Interesting color scheme on the Team USA gloves. Almost like they're copying Canada's red and black.

That's the same basic color scheme they've been wearing in at least the last two olympics - blue with red accents.

RNH going tungs in this year!

Johnny Gaudreau in Warrior Mitts (QRL?) and HD Stick

I always hate when this is what these threads become.

why?

[chippa13 1844]

My personal preference is for this thread to be about new equipment sightings and not about what players switched brands.

Maybe you should create a new thread called "2016-2017 *new* gear sightings".

Well "technically" those are new QRL gloves (I think) ;)

But I see where you're going with this

 

Maybe we could have a new thread that is about players switching brands?

Oh is that blue? Looks black on my monitor.

[flip12 722]

QRL3-Pro? Looks like they lack the AxyFlex cuff.

The look on Parise's face under the weight of the Big Buff lean: priceless.

I thought that too.  Is Parise ditching his Easton Twig in favor of CCM?

[seanfku 1]

Anyone notice Weber was using a NXG? 

Nevermind, I guess he's always used one.

I agree 100%. Now how about that Wayne Gretzky wearing CCM yesterday?

I'm amazed his cuffs are so short

[icewalker_bg 126]

Im amazed his stick is so short.

[OzziesDad 89]

I'm amazed he has such an awful tape job. 

Who am I to critique it though, I guess.

[EBondo 233]

Really digging the look of the new 1N. Also amazed Toews isn't using his NXG's anymore haha

[GoalForFun 176]

Finally a nice shot of the 2016 1N. Really digging that they did away with the chrome (or made it more muted).

If anything I'd say there's more chrome. The whole outer portion of the Bauer and Nexus logo is chromed out. Really pops on TV. But not in a bad way I think.

It's a good looking stick.  For years I always dreaded that the guy in graphics was going to pull out the bottle of white out again.  Nice to see a clean graphic without some white on it somewhere just ruining it.

I mean compared to the leaked stick from a few months ago. It just looks more muted. Could just be the lighting though.

That's how it's always been.

Looks like an odd blade for the Gretz though.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

There's more chrome on the 1N than ever before. 

And I'm thinking Gretzky's stuff is most likely off the rack in the Oilers room. 

[enis750 48]

Also in for loving the new 1N stick, she's a BEAUT Clarke ;)
