I’m now convinced DaveArt reads the forum and is just messing with everyone 

Why does the mask have to reflect an actual image at all? It’s about the creative process, not the final product! 

?????????

Is that a Jackson Pollock?

Daveart has officially jumped the shark with this one...

I can barely put into words how much I hate that mask ??

I think it says "A MASK" under the Cooper logo:

I just saw another photo of the mask — underneath Cooper is says AANK

A Google search showed me that Mike has four sons: Aksel, Ajax, Nixon, and Kingsley (those names...)

Mystery solved.

I like their vertical stitch pads a lot.

I do appreciate the move to the VE8 graphic away from tribal graphics that had a long, redundant run.

The VE8 graphic can have a lot of neat stuff done with it, I've seen some really nice and simple VE8 sets.

I must also say the things are rock solid stable in the butterfly. They felt great.

Good to hear.

I've had my gloves for about 3 weeks now and my pads should be very soon, this coming week or the next.

This looks...really unsafe. I bet there's people in the crowd bigger than this goalie with his chest protector on.

When your helmet is bigger than the thing meant to protect your lungs, heart, organs, and bones. Looks like a 3XL hoodie.

Now they're hoping they don't make the NHL so they don't need to face Chara and Weber (if he plays this season).

Subban has an away coloured mask, and if you go to the next photos of Fleury, is he using the same mask from last season or just a replica paint job?

Is Miller averse to change? Kidding aside, anyone know what neck guard he uses? Doesn't look like a Vaughn from the ones I know, and doesn't seem to be a Maltese (maybe I'm mistaken)?

I'm pretty sure he's just fuckin with the haters. LOL Look at all the "features" at the bottom right.

Looking at these, it looks no different than what I wore growing up, like the Brown unit Hextall wore that I also used. It`s minimal but still 2" of LD and HD and some plastics here and there.

It`s not the size of the c/a that protects the goalie but the thickness and placement of the blocks/materials.

I'm all for making things streamlined, but it looks like they should have given it more research and development. Especially when you have Smith still looking enormous.

Also, Hextall's chest pad was even bigger than Smith's at the end of his career.

I'm pretty sure Mike Smith wins 2018 with that set-up. That awesome mask looks so good in action with those pads and that sweater.

It is kinda difficult to mess up those colors.

Speaking of colors, this is a ballsy set but it looks great with the whole uniform.

Vaughn chesty’s were sparse on protection to begin with and now with the rule changes I feel like you’re going to see a lot of guys move to other brand’s chest protectors. Those Kenesky’s look tempting
