2020-21 New Goalie Equipment/Mask Sightings (No political discussion)

[Dexter Colt]

This looks like somebody's driveway has cracked badly, and needs a repave. But then they made it into a graphic for goalie pads.

These printed graphics on pads also look like they belong on said driveways rather than pro games.

This is the difference between a "made to order illustrator" and an actual "artist" though. When you commission a work from a real Artist, it's because you trust their ability to interpret a concept and make something that goes beyond simply illustrating a few things you like from a basically checkbox menu of items like you're ordering takeout to wear on your head. There are plenty of other tremendous artists out there producing fantastic masks, who "paint what the customer wants", but in a more interpretive conceptual way. Rather than just splashing all the elements together in a generic formula...they use artistic interpretation to create something truly unique.

And Dave is way more successful then all of those "artists" combined, so it's painfully clear what the actual customer wants, and that's what DaveArt provides.

Pretending he's isn't an artist, because he makes masks to order with the elements his customers wants is a bizarre stance.

So, it looks like Lundqvist changed is number.

Samsonov wears #30.

I mean, it's like being an "artist", in the same sense that the person making your lunch at Subway is a "sandwich artist".

No, it's not.

It's not like that at all.

 

[cowboy82nd]

it does?

He was number 30 with the Rangers and now his helmet has number 35 with the Capitals.

 

[smirob]

Excited to see Jake Allen's set, always has style.

 

[aufheben]

So, it looks like Lundqvist changed is number.

He wore #35 with Frolunda/Sweden, but Mike Richter’s #35 was retired in NY.

All the elements are there to get you excited, you know it has crazy potential, but there's no way the final product isn't a massive disappointment.

It's like the ultimate Star Wars hommage.

That moron DaveArt is talented, but he's also got this weird hard on for lens flares and just going way over board with his designs, I have stated this in the past, he's a legend for making masks, it's like a rite of passage for goaltenders to get at least a mask by him, but mate....at what cost? It's painful to the eyes to see what could have been a fantastic mask, destroyed by his overzealous nature to add ALL OF THE f***ING LENS FLARES IMAGINABLE.

 

[FerrisRox]

Thatcher Demko:

That number on the blocker is old school. That was pretty common back in the '80's but it really disappeared from the game for a long time.

 

[Del Preston]

Thatcher Demko:

Cool pic. He should wear the sunglasses during real games.

 

[Oddbob]

Thatcher Demko:

What kind of stick can shoot those rocks?

 

[its josh]

DaveArt with 2 good masks with Allen and Lundqvist.
A new season record for him.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Thatcher Demko:

Usual boring set up by that team. At least Luongo made it sort of interesting.

Oh hey look another variation of the same mask by literally all canucks goalies! *yawn*

Do better.

[El Travo]

That's so bad. Yikes.

 

[yukoner88]

i thought this was for Colorado's reverse retro's at first, then i saw its a facepalm/Canadiens logo(s) around the fleur de lis

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Really digging Jonathan Bernier's new True twig. The blood spatter design reminds me of that Fleury-sword meme thing.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Also, for other the gear nerds, True acquired Lefevre a couple months ago so you're gonna see some more guys wearing True gloves/blockers/pads this season.

True owns the majority of the goalie skate market now, think close to 70% use Custom true skates.

 

[Zenos]

I know the Fleur de Lys is a symbol of the province of Quebec, but man it just looks weird seeing it on a Habs mask.

Possibly because there were like 8 of them on every single jersey, it'll always be associated with the Nords for me.
