I just noticed this watching Hometown Hockey on Sportsnet. Auston Matthews was shown in the dressing room before the game and he had blue tape over the Bauer branding on the neck and nape of his baselayer shirt.

Even weirder because on the back of his collar was an under armor logo during the game.  I don’t normally notice things like that but it stuck out for me.

Probably changes sweats between periods.

[IPv6Freely 2092]

Yeah I assumed so too

McDavid betraying the CLs and SuperTacks... But lol at CCM promoting him with the ft2 skates on IG

[enis750 48]

hopefully this is OK to post here:

FT2's from the CCM IG account

Bauer pushing the new 2Xs

[stick9 891]

OMG, they're hideous. Yellow AND red accents, really?

[beerleaguecaptain 999]

Its the back in silver and front in black that kills me.  So fugly.

[stick9 891]

Meanwhile, those FT2's look awesome.

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

I actually like it; it's like a reverse Vapor XXX.

Supreme tech callout.

[Cavs019 708]

That’s the ugliest skate I’ve ever seen.

I guess it works if you play for Calgary though. 

[BenBreeg 493]

Looks like a hyperactive designer just started doodling and they went with it.  Is there any component on that skate that they didn’t embelish?  You have carbon fiber texture and swooshes and colors and stitching and uggg, I have to stop. It’s like the Vanilla Ice of hockey skates.

Those skates aren't real ft2s although that's what they "look" like. I think those are the ribcors. You can see the heel has a piece sewed on and it even looks like a two piece boot. Also, it looks just airbrushed and dressed as the carbon is completely different. 

He didn't even use them in the skills. Wore his old jetspeeds....

My guess would be they're whatever McDavid uses dressed as FT2's.

McDavid with the FT1 gloves, but using the Super Tacks stick again ❤️

[sbecks72986 51]

I like the 2Xpro look a lot actually. I was right about the supreme tendon gaurd being on the new vapor too it looks like

[clarkiestooth 235]

……….

 

 

…..and what were those All Star unis? The white jerseys paired with the dark socks and miss matched pants stripe were low level beer league at best. Compared to what Notre Dame and Michigan had on display for the outdoor game. Not even close.

I thought the weird stripe looked bad but otherwise it was a cool way to include each teams logo, i liked it.  Not a fan of Michigan’s or Notre Dame’s.oom in that pic.

it was funny to see Crosby getting ready in what appeared to be taped and patched up  Rbk/Jofa shoulders and elbow pads.  Stuff probably reeks.  When was that stuff out of production. For all the new gear at the asg i thought it stood out.

Agree with the teal stripe but I thought they looked pretty good overall. The mismatched gold on the notre dame setup is pretty bad.

[Sniper9 530]

Love the new toe box of the 2x. Overall look I like but the yellow...... Easy fix to cover that up though.

I liked that Crosby kept his regular gloves. They went better with the jerseys than the gloves they were supposed to wear.

Maybe they all had to wear the same color socks so the only uniform/color switch would be the sweaters/jerseys and helmets which would be easier than changing everything in between games?

[the iceman 132]

Does this qualify as a 2018-2019 sighting because of the shoulder caps?

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

Weird the chest straps are upside down as well

[gosinger 122]

Always crazy to see absolute tank-like elbows and shins combined with something that barely qualifies as shoulder pads 🙂 (queue to image of suspenders with caps attached)
