Md30 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I really like the subtle use of gold and green. I don't know that this had ever been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raucebyalien Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Guessing that might be the Optik 2 (or whatever they will be called) graphics on a Gnetik4 pad as theres aspects of the original Optik graphic in there (otherwise I'm completely wrong and its a custom graphic!)

He lit it up in the IVs last year... and that was after bouncing thru sets like crazy. I would wager these are another pair of IVs with a custom graphic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Brian's didn't even finalize the Optik naming until sometime in the summer just before launch if I'm not mistaken, so even if this is the Optik 2 or whatever replaces Optik, they may not have a final name for it yet.

raucebyalien Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 ^ This Brians also has precedent of putting their new graphic on the older pads (Anderson has had Gnetik graphics on Sub Zero pads in the past) so it'd make sense in terms of pushing the new line - especially where the goalie is in a big market.

TitanG Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Apparently it is based on a concept for the IV: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehner has a stuffed boot, traditional outer roll, and a break at the knee. As with every pro, he has his own spec, but I’m guessing this is based off GNetik IV or closest to GNetik IV. Brians will have a new line coming and pics will surface soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 DiPietro used Bauer for the last several years but appears to be sticking with Brian's after being seen testing it this summer. Looks like Gnetik IV with the Hellberg SKA St. Petersburg graphic (minus the star): For some reason the Instagram link wouldn't show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they'd want to promote more small, Canadian brands to match with the small, Canadian town feeling of many CHL teams. On the other hand, I assume the money from the manufacturers helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have designated pad manufacturers than Europe league-esque advertisements. Perhaps it's the lesser of two evils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a young goalie wants to wear Warrior, Brians or Passau at the CHL level, make them go logoless. I get that most kids are in CCM anyways (the Price effect) but options are nice.

But I'm sure that the CHL is very thankful for the added cash through the sponsorship or through the savings of not having to gear up goalies. The guys running the league don't really care what their goalies wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding the companies pay a licencing fee to the CHL just like they do in the NHL but here they only allow for 3 brands. I guess they can get even more money that way as the companies may get into a bidding war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the three most popular brands (by a long shot) bidding against each other in your league. Works out well I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
