motowngoalie Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Props to CCM, from the images I've seen their print/color-matching quality seems better than Bauer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious to hear the rationale for those angle knee rolls. They're supposed to offer a performance benefit, but I'm curious to see if that's jsut marketing hogwash or not. The overall printing looks fantastic though. Doesn't look as washed out as Bauer's first couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full respect if you don't like it. Brian's and Vaughn exist for cut and set custom. The reality is that printing is sell fantastically at retail, people love the design capability, and it's extremely easy to mass produce custom gear now. Again, I full respect people don't like it. That particular comment is just really repetitive and the technology is not going anyway. "I still prefer that cut and sew looks more high end" is way more appropriate.

Bauer deserves the credit for popularizing this tech and fighting the good fight. Someday, I will order a TGN Spec Bauer DigiPrint... But I have to say, CCM's printing capability is really interesting to me. IMO, they have the best retro graphic catalog. Enabling the 500 Roy, the Potvin, the 580, EF1, etc etc as a custom is very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike24 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 @TheGoalNet That’s the first thing I thought of. Yes I’m a Koho junkie. It’d be awesome to see some “vintage” stuff come out down the line. I’d loose it if the Roy 500s made a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_shifty1982 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 CCM has done a great job with these prints, not something that I would look into getting, but job well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperton Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Love the German flag on that respective set. Printed graphics are neat, both it and older school cut-and-sew have a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAngle41 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 FWIW... I noticed that any area which had printed graphic looked to have the texture of SpeedSkin. Not that it matters... just thought it was interesting. Also... while you could say CCM is late to the printed graphic party... based on the quality of the examples they've put forth I'd go as far to say that they're only fashionably late. Perhaps they intentionally let another brand work out some kinks or it was just their time table all along... but the colors look vibrant and the lines are crisp. First pass for others didn't go as well... and their retail offering still has some reporting issues on certain colors. That said I'll be interested to see how well CCM's quality scales up when they get it to retail... but good stuff nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Printed graphics are neat, both it and older school cut-and-sew have a place. Agree. The craftsmanship on display with Vaughn and Brian's is second to none. Some of the setups they've done are full blown works of art and will always be the sort of true custom pad I go for if money were no object. However the more detailed and intricate options that digital printing opens up are pretty cool as well. They're not as awe inspiring because you know they didn't take as much work, but it's a fun way for guys to get creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, I think most of us would give a different brand a chance if we were offered the right deal. There's not a brand in the store I work at that I would refuse to wear if the price was right (although I think I'd REALLY struggle to get used to Bauer catch gloves...)
