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.

Makes sense. Possibly a McDavid stick? Looks like his pattern with the mid-curve and Coffey toe.

I don't recognize those skates.  Next Gen Jetspeeds?

Umm...

Ready to be burned at the stake for this, but I rather like the Adidas side stripes, at least on these international jerseys.

[malcb33 99]

Me too actually. I would have liked to see what the uniforms would be like with the stripes continuing down the pants as well.

[Coldclay 53]

I love the stripes on the jerseys too, but please don't extend down to pants, that would be too stripey...

[Hills 717]

Coyotes already did that!

I'm more impressed that Loui Eriksson finally ditched his U+'s.

The texture of Drouin's stick is unlike anything I have seen before.  Anybody have info on it?  

[chippa13 1844]

I think that is what Warrior used to refer to as "nipple grip".

Nah, Nipple Grip was actually more like what (I'm assuming) is now called Diamond.

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]

It's rare but a few guys use it. I have some RibCore with it. I've only ever seen it on Canadian made sticks, which is interesting. 

[Cavs019 710]

Reminds me of Bauer's tactile grip from the One90 days:

 my guess would be QuickLite  as it has the same colors theme as the protective line black/grey/red.

Clown shoes was my first thought as well. I wonder if it's a joke or something; "look at how ugly design I came up with this time!"
