Hopefully it catches on in Calgary... I could see Hudler wearing them since he's an STX athlete. Don't think Gaudreau and Monahan obviously Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 So my eyelets haven't rusted, but the screw on the top of the toe box definitely has. You can't actually reach it because of the cowling. *shrug* you can't even see it unless you look. We'll see if it becomes an issue down the road.

The screws on my 2-year-old VH toe caps are stainless steel so they still look good as new. I noticed black (carbon steel?) screws in recent pictures. Maybe some customers didn't like the shiny dot on the toe cap so VH switched to carbon steel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't actually reach it because of the cowling. *shrug* you can't even see it unless you look. We'll see if it becomes an issue down the road. I've been wondering why they don't just stitch the velcro into the toe cap, now that the carbon cup doesn't go all the way to the top of the toe box anymore. The more they can streamline those details, the less people will be turned off by the look, in my mind. Plus, less screws to lose, have go rusty, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AfftonDad 88 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 The logo is gone in all the recent pictures (pro and others). Is that how they come by default now or is everyone ordering them without the logo? I would miss not having the logo on my next pair. I'm not a fan of the big black space that looks like something is supposed to go there. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flip12 714 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 A lot of the KHL guys have the VH logo on theirs. They've probably had them for a while though, at least a few months or so. I wonder what the threshold for VH might be for them to pay the NHL licensing fee and have their logo displayed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought people were requesting this. I understand the NHL licensing situation but I also prefer having the logo, and as a very satisfied customer would feel sort of cheap asking them not to put their logo on it.

mc88 160 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 To be honest, it looks much better without the logo. The logo sticks out like a sore thumb. It needs to be better positioned and not so damn large. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
