raucebyalien Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Haha 'sitings' is a tribute to the classic GSBB misspelling! Alexandar Georgiev now in Optiks with a new Brians strapping set up by the looks of things - probably gives a bit of extra space in the channel for those used to CCM pads.

stackem30 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I'm a copywriter and editor by trade, and I cannot tell you how many times I've caught myself writing 'sitings' in my everyday work. I think it's safe to assert that I've been following this thread for too many years, and it has poisoned my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Oettinger Colton Point #BlackTapeBandits Eriksson EK in EF4 Woll back in Vaughn after using Bauer post NCAA season and oh yeah... Price using an EF4 580 at a charity softball game... WHAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Canada banned imports (like baseball gloves) from America due to the tariffs - so Price had to use what he could get to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we sure this isn't a new model for Brian's? The sides of the pads,strapping and even the back of the glove looks different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about this when I originally posted - the graphic on the side gusset doesn't look like an optik graphic (but given it's Brians it could be anything custom), plus the new strapping could equal a new version of a Brians hybrid line - assuming they don't go with g-netik4 branding.

Weren't there rumours about them doing strictly OPTIK as a line from now on? Like heritage was going to be their other line? Also I do agree the pad looks very different from any Brian's pad, custom or not, than I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau taking a page out of Trump’s book and attacking China too!? There are still ball gloves made in the USA, they are just hard to find. The only production glove that I'm aware of is Nokona, and there are several small custom builders. The Rawlings custom shop now builds their luggage, except for the occasional pro glove turned out by Bob Clevenhagen. -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of pro gloves are made in the Philippines where Rawlings and Wilson have been building for 50+ years. I haven't seen a US made Wilson in a long time so I do not even know if they have a pro shop anymore. Both Rawlings and Wilson are subsidiaries of much larger companies. It is very similar to goalie gear /End Gear Sitings Hijack -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never really understand what goalies are going for when they choose to color graphics like this — it just looks like a couple wedges and triangles floating in the middle of the pad. CCM has been favoring graphics where there's a thin line slicing through a shape — which is fine, but it looks strange when you just see a shape cut off by a line that 'isn't there' (isn't colored in). I dunno, I'm all for creative approaches to stock graphics, minimalist designs, or just having colored accents... but this looks stupid to me.

Griffin Davis 31 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It's a shame that we won't see Colton Point's custom graphic for much longer after he signed with the Stars forgoing his Junior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
