  1. Nah. I like the way my gloves and pads go together. I made that drawing to show how bad it would look. Everything will probably stay as is with the exception of replacing the blue
  2. Fine I’ll change it. I have to replace the blue anyways because it’s not sticking great likely due to being several years old.
  3. Everyone on my team hates the red tape but the stick needed a little red to it
  4. Yes I used red tape on the toe and white tape on the heel. Is that a problem? I like being able to pick up the puck with my stick
  5. Return of the NXG? Sidewall graphic looks similar
  6. I used zip ties last Christmas but was just interested to hear what others used
  7. There is rumor that I will get to have two outdoor tournaments this year. One in Illinois for my travel team and the other in the Cotton Bowl (yes the winter classic one) for my high school team. I don’t expect I’ll need any extra gear for the cotton bowl but I might wear a second pair of base layer pants for Illinois. @seagoal how did you secure the toque to your helmet
  8. Quick question for everyone. I don't know if he's on the forums are just following TGN's insta but one of the goalies we played against actually recognized my gear. By chance is he here somewhere?
  9. Sorry, no proper photographers this time.
  10. I mocked it up before deciding on the heritage style gloves and it looked wrong. Keep in mind this is what the star on my pads is: It's just missing the top point so it would look weird to have a right triangle at the base of each glove. Plus this way the pads still make a star in butterfly.
  11. First ice time with the G4 Sr’s: these are the stiffest pads I’ve ever used (Reebok premier series and Vaughn lt88). Nothing about these pads is a gimmick. Air slide is real and it is amazing. I didn’t clear the crease of snow once during my goalie session to see what happened and the sliding difference between a fresh sheet and a snowy crease was drastically reduced. Active drop is cool though it’ll take some getting used to. Before the pads even touched the ice I got rid of the ARS toe strap and put my ecopro toe ties on instead. The pads have a little trouble with recentering but that’s an easy fix. And the weight OH MY LORD THE WEIGHT The weight is without a doubt my favorite part of the pads. For a goalie who relies on being super quick these pads are perfect. Compared to the Vaughn’s I almost couldn’t tell I was wearing gear when we did skating drills. Overall I’m in love with this gear. It’s everything I want and more out of pads. Side note: I now have everything warrior except for sticks and neck guard
  12. I actually tried that design before the heritage graphic and it looked a little funky because it would just be an angled cut of color. Just the top point is missing from the star on the pads so it would look weird
  13. My thinking behind using only half the star is that it looks better in butterfly. I tried using a full star and it looked a little off.
  14. Thanks bud! For reference here's the original drawing Yes I realize I should've scaled the star up more in the photoshopped picture.
