RichMan Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I've noticed recently (past couple years) that some new designs/tech is pretty much a "Part 2" from previous designs that never really took off in the first place. Here are a few that stood out for me. I'm sure you'll come up with more as we go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 CCM Blockade with the one-piece cuff that is pretty much standard nowadays. This came out in 2004 or 2005. The Reebok Premier 3 came out in 2009 or so. It wasn't really until the P3 came out that one-piece cuffs became a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 it's funny you posted the eagle pads. Just last night I searched ebay for eagle, always liked their stuff, especially pro glo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Sher-Wood Pelican come out before the Blockades or was it the other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 In my eyes the double tee being stock on every glove feels like a very new thing. It wasn’t long ago that every glove on the shelf was single tee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's talking about the landing area. FactoryMAD seems to be doing the exact same thing. The Axis 2 sort of does the same thing, but at the knee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line of Sher-Wood gear was ahead of its time. The Cerberus pads were super thin, flat faced, and incredibly modern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you think what current or recently current used ideas that weren't initially popular will become staples on gear in the future? We've seen Bauer now adopt the lack of wrist strap that has been part of Warrior gloves for a while. That could be the new normal. Was Vaughn's ideas of magnets actually genius and we're too naïve to know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me too much to see a HingeFlex built into the boot of a pad. Pad construction hasn't changed too radically - as a whole, it's still just foam and plastics glued or strung or sewed together. Adding some sort of movable mechanical (for lack of a better word) contraption into it could be really neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
