gp34 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Giving Pickard's set a little shout out. And.... Why is no one talking about this set from the Canuck's Anders Nilsson?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Regarding Nilsson's setup: I think it's a very cool idea that is ruined by letting the green and blue meet. To match their uniforms it should be white in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I agree with John, just a small white stripe between blue and green should be good. But I still realy like his set - must look better in person than at photos (yes I´m big fan of coloured sets ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Anyone ever go with a green base set for the Canucks yet? Maybe Nilsson's gear would stand out more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The Canuck's green isn't too pretty to be a main colour. I had a love/hate relationship with Luongo's p2 set up when he was here. ^ like above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackem30 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 1 hour ago, mik said: Luongo: Just for the sake of argument (this IS an internet forum), Luongo's P2 set here has a blue base, with overlaying green swooshes and white accents. But one could certainly argue that they are predominately green ;] Nicest set of Canucks pads since they started to return to this color scheme. Nicest all-time is still Kirk McLean, imho. I do agree with the others who said a small white outline would really improve Nilsson's setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackem30 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Bauer has never been my favorite when it comes to graphics, but I think the new 2S graphic missed the mark on a whole new level. The minimalist 'wedge' design is not even the big issue -- it's not perfect, but not that bad either. But the balance of the color zones? Pretty pathetic. I mean, is there even a point to including the yellow in this set? As if the yellow streaks weren't paltry enough, they're completely obscured by the gradient/pointillist grey border. Bauer should have made the size of those color accents much bigger. They would have filled out more of the bad, and they'd allow the second color to be more visible. Now that I think of it, can one even order a dark based 2S graphic? Or is it always a white base? I'm not a big fan of the latest CCM graphics, but you have to hand it to them - the amount of possibilities with the color zones is pretty impressive, and you can get some really colorful and unique looks. Can't say they same for Bauer, very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 One thing the 2S wedge design has right? They all flow together well while on the goalie. Also, I think Bauer is keeping these pads limited with customization as it ruins the brand image of them. Everyone knows that they are 2S pads. Unlike Vaughn or Brian's in that manner.

Yeah, that's why I don't mind the 'wedge' design too much. It's nothing great, but it works. I'll take simple and boring over the overly-intricate tribal designs any day. I see your point about Bauer wanting to preserve their brand recognizability, but I might counter that potential customers would value better coloring options. While there are certainly plenty of goalies who can't recognize every brand and model in their sleep like most of us, I still think most goalies have at least some eye for detail, to the point that they could easily spot that these are Bauer pads, regardless of how uniform the graphic was. If Bauer were more concerned with brand recognition than making a great looking, highly-customizable pad, I doubt they'd put Bauer Posterboy Henry Lundqvist in a super-customized individual graphic.

TheGoalNet Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 @MTH @stackem30 2S customization will be available to the masses. Everything is hush hush right now, but expect to hear something about that within a couple months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think the 1S and 2S is so good that the standard design is a status symbol. You wouldn't take Ford Raptor and pay extra to look like a last generation standard F-150. You know? The design is is boring for sure. But man, I'd take a set for sure.
