Wouldn’t be surprised to see Demko in Brians again since he wore it from a young age. Markstrom spent a really long time in Bauer, and now that the 90 degree glove is no longer a separator (yes I know pros were able to get it before but still) I could see him going back too.

As I posted on, I believe, TGN's post, I think people will look back on this graphic positively in like 6 years, but the hate-dumping on Insta is nuts right now. It's been growing on me. I'm getting a bit of a Bauer TotalOne vibe with the way it's used here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my take for close to a decade now. Not sure why people with no ability in graphic design (and I include myself in that group) want to whine and bitch so hard about something with 3 easy solutions: 1. Get a full custom graphic. CCM, Bauer and Brians will all do this. Vaughn will skin in a graphic from yesteryear. 2. If you don't want to drop the coin on that, buy another brand. There is enough commonality these days that an average Joe goalie could play in their second choice of pads and not suffer a major performance drop off. Gloves can be trickier, but still.... 3. Get over it. If you really believe you'll play best in whatever brand, get over aesthetics and chase performance. If the aesthetics get to you that badly, join the solid pads crew. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In desperation, your feeble mind attempts to see the pad graphic as Bauer inspired. Anything to to shield your weak psyche from the truth - the graphic is basically a Warrior graphic and, likely soon, you'll be wearing these abominations on your legs. Welcome to hell. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a general consensus of what looks good. People are in the business to sell gear. We fillet “bad graphics” and so it narrows the pool of new ideas. So lots of things are a trend and graphics look similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
