TheGoalNet Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Here’s the graphic... Strapping will be very similar to Matt Murray’s gear pictured below is the Sr line and not pro @goaliecreasenet showed the SLR2 graphic off yesterday in the SR ( not pro ) version. Seems like Vaughn is definitely going with a “design theme” as the graphic share a lot of similarities with the VE8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math. Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'm usualy not the biggest fan of Vaughn's approach to gear graphic but I could get on board with those one. The possibility for simple, yet effective color pop combination is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the word VAUGHN higher up on the face. My only gripe is the increasing distance between the blue parts towards the bottom of the pads and blocker. It looks a little weird and would look better if like on the VE8 graphic that distance between stayed the same. It might be exacerbated by the angle of the photo, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Updates: - The sliding surface on these pads is the same material that Brian's calls Primo - additional strap at bottom - thinned out outer roll - 1 piece glove - shock shield foam on glove - stick that weighs the same as 1S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone keeps says Vaughn owns Brians, which they don't, but Vaughn has power in the materials market so they may own the supplier that Brian's gets the Primo from.

Brian’s and Vaughn are not sister brands with shared technology like Lexus and Toyota or CCM and Reebok. Its more like a conglomerate owning lots of different independent companies. They don’t share product designs, technology, or R&D. Brians found an independent company selling a material called primo and started to use it. Vaughn has decided to buy this material too and add it to their pads. This is NOT Brian’s and Vaughn sharing technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Not a huge fan of the graphic, seems almost like a mock-up version of the SLR1. I'm liking the pads though and the C/A looks good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen others of different sites say Vaughn owns Brian's, but I said they did not. My understanding is that Vaughn is a monopoly of sorts in the MATERIALS MARKET and may likely own the supplier that Brian's gets the 'Primo' material from. I did not say anything about subsidiaries, design, or shared technology. Vaughn having power in the materials market mean they probably have access to the same material Brian's uses.

Yes, there’s a distinction between Mike Vaughn being an investor/part of the ownership of Brian’s (which, to my understanding, is the case) versus Vaughn Hockey owning the Brian’s name. A lot of people get that mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bauer skates and sticks, but they've literally never had a line of pads or gloves that I've seriously considered. I guess what I was trying to say is that Vaughn is more traditional, whereas Brian's is quicker to innovate and take risks and it's resulted in products that feel distinctly different. If you stripped the logos off recent lines from both companies (say Optik and VE8 Pro Carbon) you'd look at things like Smart Straps, HexAir, Boa closure on the gloves, the drastically different feel of the catch glove on the hand (Brian's stock retail models have been way beefier than Vaughn's until the Gnetik4) and know you were looking at products from companies that view R&D and equipment design in radically different ways. Personally I feel like Vaughn's evolutionary approach is a good thing. In fact I'm convinced it's why they have such a strong presence in the NHL. Kind of like CCM, they take what's best about each line and improve it year over year. By moving incrementally they ensure that their user's favorite parts of each line don't get lost, while the line as a whole gets better over time. Brian's, Bauer and Warrior seem willing to innovate and take risks, which drives the entire industry forward. Personally I'm glad to have both approaches out there. I don't know that there's ever been a time in the nearly 30 years I've been a goalie where I've felt like I have as many great choices for gear right off the rack as I have in the last 3-4 years.
