peep zuuc's skates. probably new guards but it doesn't look like there is any on them, are they really form fitting to the skate? love em either way

[Monty22 832]

Yes, custom shot blockers. They are discussed a few pages back.

I'm seeing a couple  of jerseys being worn this weekend carrying the old school CCM logo. Specifically the St Louis and the Kings late 00s purples. Is Reebok branding these as CCM for "throwback" purposes? With Reebok, CCM and Adidas all being the same company I really wish they'd just go CCM branding across the board going forward.

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

The throwbacks have always been CCM branded. The inner tag says Team Classics.

St Louis WC replica jerseys were Indonesia Reeboks, Alumni replicas were Canadian made CCM

Anyone know how to get a pair of those sweet Blues gloves from the WC? Custom order?

New CCM Jetspeed 

[jsp047 27]

I noticed this was happening to most of Team Canada's gloves. Did they paint the white on themselves? Looks like a DYI customization gone wrong. Must be the reason they lost in the SO

Just looks like normal pro-level wear to me.

[Monty22 832]

Bauer gloves have looked like that since at least the XXXX.  The stripe graphics they use do not wear well. 

[Cavs019 708]

The paint probably doesn't react well when mixed with tears. 

...that's happened to every pair of Bauer gloves I've owned with stripes on them.

Yeesh. I like the idea, but it just doesn't work.

To paraphrase the great Jeremy Clarkson, I do not know why blue holders can be worn by only people named Wayne Gretzky, but that's a fact and there's nothing we can do about it. If you have blue holders and you aren't called Wayne Gretzky, you have the wrong holders.

It would work a lot better if the boots had white outsoles.

It if funny to me how hockey players are brain washed/indoctrinated from an early age that black/subtle/don't notice me,  anything for skates is the way it is.

Same goes for white gloves and the like.

Don't be scared of colors. They don't bite.

Knit socks are making a comeback.

Can confirm. Have some X100's with the same issue after 1 season of use.

Don't tell goalies that.

Anything that stands out helps us goalies out a lot :)

[Jamarquan 201]

No, I mean when goalies would only wear all white because of the 'psychological element'. CCM / Reebok actually made the goalies under contract with them have some sort of color in their pads because they were worried about people not recognizing their pads as CCM / Reebok. CCM's customizer doesn't allow for logos to be the same color as the surrounding area. 

Perfect example:
