FDB#12 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I know 100% sure that a first bid from TRUE was rejected from Lefevre. on January 3 we will see if the discussion with TRUE has evolved, or if Lefevre will work alone, or with some other company. Don't know why but I have some suspect on Vaughn
Silence Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 It seems maybe things are leaning to the solo side of things for right now. Personally I would be looking forward to a solo project from them. I currently have a P2 set from that factory and its one of the best sets I have worn.

Such a big upgrade from the P1, it was my first custom set and I hated them! P2s are freaking incredible!

I'd love to see them go solo, as their price points would likely be closer to Passau, Kenesky, JRZ, etc, which would be an incredible value.

I doubt that highly. They know they can command top dollar and would be foolish to price themselves any lower than they had to.

I may be wrong, but something tells me with their pedigree, they can and will command a premium.

I think the Lefebvres were the brains behind the goalie gear for both Koho and CCM/Reebok, so why would they team up with Vaughn? Unlike JRZ with Bauer, the Lefebvre name was very prominent with Koho, then CCM/Reebok in all lines, not just the top line.

Doc1200 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I could see Crawford becoming a client as well. He lasted 1 start in 2x pads before going back to P2.

TheGoalNet Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 This is a picture from the side gusset of 1 of the 4 new pads from Lefevre. The B will only be used on a retro model. I believe with 4 lines, they will have a pad for every goalie and not lose any customers who were in CCM gear. There is also some features in the gear that are debuting for the first time on a Lefevre product.

I'm going to guess: - Retroflex Equivalent - Premier Requivalent - "Heritage" Pad (soft all around but still a butterfly pad) - "Traditional" pad going back to the Lefebrve roots.
raucebyalien Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 My guess for the four lines is: - Traditional / heritage (will prob be equivalent to Brians Heritage) - Something in the vein of the GM Koho line / Hiller style pad - Updated P2 - Updated Eflex EDIT - Interesting to see the 'B' back in the name on their retro line, I saw on instagram they said that it was originally dropped because of space on pads / bigger logos, but I'm sure I read somewhere ages ago that it was to make the name more palatable for an English speaking audience that would be confused by pronouncing the B??

My 2/3 retail pricing fantasy has died
TheGoalNet Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Most of the guesses are in the ballpark, but 1 of the lines is completely nothing like they have done in the past...
