TitanG Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You probably can't go wrong with any of these, but I would say Passau just because of the better pricing and custom options. You can also get essentially any graphic, either sewn or printed, which may or may not interest you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt from Hockeyreviews.ca just did an unboxing as well of the new Passau line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came up with something similar on the GT2 standard graphic but its still to busy for my taste... I like a very simple design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTheGoalie Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Of all your mock-ups, I like the look of the Warrior set the most. I prefer CCM Eflex gear as I'm now 44 and prefer the classic feel of the pads/gloves with the perfect combination of pad flex and solid landing/sliding surface. I'm stuck in my ways and am afraid to try new things, especially at $3,000 per set For your Eflex4 design, I'd only add the black striped "fangs" at the top of the white "V" to break up all the layers of white jenpro. They all look pretty good to me though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It's too bad that the GT2 graphic reall doesn't translate well to a 2 colour graphic. I'm having difficulty making something look good with one teams colours (Blue/White). It's great for a multitude of colours (White, Black, Green, Yellow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get it "flow" well, if that makes sense 15 minutes ago, MikeTheGoalie said: Of all your mock-ups, I like the look of the Warrior set the most.

In both black and white colors, that top "fang" in the white zone is weave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me decid Maybe this is too busy for you and maybe its more red than you would like, but I think the red in the textured zones will really pop.

I've tried a few with red accents. I wish CCM would offer the Pro EF4 graphic as an option... I would have the perfect color scheme for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite set were in Toledo Walleye colors (black, navy, light blue and yellow). The design in my team colors (black+green w/just a hint of orange) isn't really as inspiring. The P2 is the best recent graphic for simplicity, but my next set will be something softer than the SubZero 3s I'm in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being picky AF the whole hockey stick graphic thing that Vaughn is using on their 3 current lines (replaced the tribal junk tho!) just isn't my cup of tea. I would love a PVE pad with a different graphic and it would likely suit my style. I think the SLR is gonna be too stiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you have the budget for this but they are called Vaughn Custom Sports. You could order a VE8 pad and ask for an SLR2 leg channel (upcharge) and a custom graphic (more upcharge).

And the PVE is essentially that exact pad... Its based on the XF with SLR Strapping. But as of now Vaughn isn't on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAngle41 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I like the GT2 Classic set you built... simple... good use of the red accent... and the white zones are a nice change from the norm and give a bit of a slimming effect. Is that 5 hole open? NOPE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
