I don't think the NHL had logo rules back then Right around 1990 1991 when the NHL went after each company for brand right fees. Rather than pay, most just scrubbed it out. Odd time - but everyone was going it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, TheGoalNet said: Were most of his changes endorsement related? I could be wrong, but I think in Making Coco it said he wore the white Harrison mask when coming back from his suspension. Could the pictured gear be from that timeframe? Maybe D&R didn't want their name tied to all of that and asked him to cover it. Or maybe his endorsement was dropped and he was legally required. EDIT: wow, i missed a bunch of posts when I was on lunch. MTHs explanation makes more sense Edited October 31, 2019 by craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The mask was on purpose. Fresh start, etc. The logos were the NHLs choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad because the Old D&R gear was so nice, but after the name was sold, the new gear was as bad as the old stuff was great. LOVED my old D&R player gloves.

Meaning the name was bought and little else. Canadien was another company that suffered similarly, but their name hasn’t been recycled *yet*.

Don’t forget Mike Richter who, according to legend, wore pads that were 15” wide at the widest point. But Brown in particular was producing leg pads wider and wider in the ‘90s.

It’s just Richter’s came 15” wide from the factory LOL (according to legend). The best part of the sheet foam pads made of non-stretch material was that the width was definitely not going to migrate. Back to Fuhr: some of his pad graphics showed some gamesmanship with the inner parts being light blue to blend with the blue paint in the crease. Imagine if he played in modern gear...

Not even. He played well within the rules of the time. Kay Whitmore was trying to have a pro career and not inspecting every piece. I am thinking the 15” came at the knee roll area. And yes- I also think Lance Armstrong should be able to keep his TdF victories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see in the picture that the pad narrows as you get to the knee. I think this shape suited his stance and stand-up tendencies. And now since I was partly responsible for derailing the thread, here’s Grant wearing a set I surely don’t remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice that he is using a glove from another set. I am thinking this set may be a pro return set as in he wore them that time. This was right before the Vic brand faded into oblivion. Straying slightly off-topic: would it not be cool to have an app/game that would take iconic goalies and show you what a set would look like on teams they never played for? Like what would Fuhr’s gear possibly looked like if he played on the North Stars? Edited November 1, 2019 by bunnyman666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
