Cuffs are huge? Please tell me this isn' t the first pic you see of Gretzky playing hockey. The "other" yellow is meant to be that shade. 

No, but I did forget.

Ok. I still don't like it.

care to guess how many MSHers probably never saw 99 play a game in his career? 1998-1999 was his final season. Scary thought......

Me.

Knit socks are making a comeback. 

 

 

No idea why, I don't miss knit socks at all. They'd tear after a game or two and then just be in shreds by the end of a season.

Is that Baby Powder?  I believe so.  How would his Blue Holders look in that Uni.....  I think very right.

[shooter27 116]

Yes its baby powder.  In his book years ago he talked about putting baby powder on his black tape to decrease the tackiness.

I like the idea of black white yellow and purple with it being in LA. Looks poorly executed though imo

They're alright. I like the way the ASG jerseys have been the last two years.

Correct, funny he still does it.  I did it as a kid too just because he did.  In fact, Locker rooms smelled pretty decent back then but sometimes got a little messy.

Alpha QX

Anyone know the wax Marner uses on his tape? Saw him in ESPN but couldnt see the brand.  Or is it baby powder?! 

Looks different than other players.

As soon as they announced sticks coming out under their own brand I think they paid. They've had True licensed sticks in the NHL since then.

That's just light colored (probably white) wax on black tape. Look around enough and you'll find others. The contrast is so strong most likely because it is a relatively unused tape/wax job.

just a heavy coating of wax, i do the same thing. i usually have my wax warm, almost moldable, it seems easier to get this effect.

Very nice.

[Monty22 832]

Both sets  need to swap gloves between the home/away set ups.  Gold gloves with the green jerseys and green gloves with the gold unis etc. 

[start_today 770]

Those KHL jerseys are so much better than the NHL allstar jerseys. 

Maybe Putin hacked the NHL design committee to mess that up too?

I like the concept of the All Star jerseys using the colors of the various jerseys the home team has worn throughout the years, but i agree the execution isn't wonderful.  The yellow one particularly bugs me.  The Kings never wore yellow and black.  Switch out the black details for purple on the yellow jersey and now we're talking.

What is going on with the numbers?  Is there some kind of random pattern in the body of the number?  Looks a bit like stained glass or a mosaic.

Feast your eyes on Wayne Gretzky warrior specs.

Still hate how Crosby & Gretzky use these small mid curves with low lie's but all you can get from every company now is a huge toe curve with dual lie horse crap.

CCM just announced their new Jet Speed skates on Instagram

I think you can blame the market for buying those curves...

Stuff like this is why I love Warrior, it is fascinating and gives us a decent look at their design process.

[IPv6Freely 2092]

I want some 99 spec gloves!

But now kids can go top cheese without learning how to shoot.

[Stewie 721]

I want that curve, maybe a slightly higher lie =)
