Harpoon System?

Back in my day when we walked to school uphill both ways and had 12 TV channels Bauer had this crazy idea to not use glue on their replacement blades and instead had these rubber teeth on the tendon so the replacement blade would fit. As you can imagine it was so successful everyone would tape over the rubber teeth and you instantly became the most popular kid in the locker room if you had a heat gun and hot glue stick.

The 90's were a wild time!

I remember the rubber teeth.  My LHS still used glue with them though.  Maybe it was, because I was putting the blade into my Easton Ultralite

[chippa13 1844]

Everyone used glue with them. Otherwise, there would be just that little bit of play in the blade connection. At least that was better than the Louisville Lock-Jaw system.

Perhaps at this point this thread needs a rename.

Or we could just put an end to this walk down memory lane and get back on topic?

What does it matter? Bauer's well of creativity has dried up and CCM has all their new gear already seeded in the NHL. What's that leave ? Canadien 9001 Aluminum and Winnwell 2000 helmets as possible gear sightings these days.

That will fire up a few cubicles in Exeter.  I am sure it will make for some very spirited ping pong games in the activity room.  LOL.

The last company I worked for that went down the Bankruptcy road, the first thing that was 'confiscated' was the engineers ping pong table.

It's the inevitable cycle isn't it?  Mgt runs the business into the gutter and takes it out on the wrong people.

FINALLY. Orange accents on the gloves. Accents on the helmet are a nice touch as well. Love everything about the jersey overall, except maybe I'd add a white stripe to the sleeve.

[Monty22 832]

Would have gone with orange or white for the numbers- they are going to be hard to read as is.  

[adam14 182]

white name bar and white numbers

[EBondo 232]

I think that would have been too much white then. Think they're going for that stealthy look almost. If anything I think orange trim would look better with the numbers and a white stripe on the sleeve. Overall though, I love the jerseys. Been waiting a long time for the Flyers to bring back a good black jersey.

Stealthy numbers and football stadium seating distances are not a good combination..

Meh...only slightly less ugly than what they wear on a regular basis. I do like the gloves though. I wish companies would go back to the white cuff roll.

[IPv6Freely 2092]

I like that the numbers are the same color scheme as the logo.

What about the Easton Z-Wax!?! I used to use it in my Z-Bubble ( which I still have) with the Nike St.Paul curve blade
