New goalie gear sightings for 2015-16

[Diamondillium]

Jimmy Howard's new getup, I'm liking it.

The definition of boring.

That cat statue thing is just making me wonder why no Finnish goalies have ever had Moomins on their mask.

Antti Raanta seems to be doing so.

Ben Scrivens has a sick new setup for this year.

The definition of boring.

No doubt. I've mentioned it before, but I find it so funny how guys wear boring white pads to try and make it harder for the shooter to see the pads, and then put a bright outline on the pad, which just shows off exactly where the edge of the pad is

Loving the mask. Loving the Lack style logo. But man is that gear white...

 

[oiler-dude]

Won't be that white for too much longer...

If NHL professionals were actually fooled by pad colors then all goalies would be wearing white pads. There's no evidence having white pads can confuse an NHL shooter. Hell, most shooters barely shoot low nowadays anyway.

That helmet makes me aroused. The rest of the setup works really well too.

Scrivens' mask is damn near perfect.

I really hope Lack hasn't started a trend with the logo pads gimmick

Awful

It's Scrivens. I don't think there will be too many puck marks.

Honestly, Scrivens' is fantastic. Yes, homer. But still... small, sleak.

Homer vote as well, but I think Scrivens' works because he's not using a full logo. He's using an accent basically, which still looks good and screams "Oilers" when you only see half of it, which you will mostly see on pads. What Lack is doing is straight up splitting a full logo in half, which doesn't work as well.

"goaliecustomizr" on Instagram does a good job of this, and by the looks of things, since Scrivens thanks him in his tweet, likely had a hand in these. https://instagram.com/goaliecustomizer/

Yeah, Scrivens' stuff is absolutely top-notch. A Hiller/Scrivens matchup in the BoA would look good.

The chin reads as "GOG" to me and not "BOB"

It's BOB using the Cyrillic alphabet: Боб, like he would write it in his mother tongue

Dark pads are terrible.

 

[Stonewall]

Dark pads are terrible.

IMO they make him look intimidating, and also they just look cool.

 

[TMLegend]

Dark pads are terrible.

Your opinion. I happen to think they look fantastic in this case. Nice and sleek look.

Awful

I always thought Lack's looked terrible. Most logo things on the pads do. But Scrivens' actually work because he chose a symmetrical Oil Drop that's really as much just a "design" as a logo, rather than the Oilers actual logo.

I really like it. You can see in the picture posted of Scrivens practicing, that the design actually still looks cool when the pads are apart (as they will be the majority of game action)...something that cannot be said of Lack's straight up logo split in half look.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Scrivens' Oilers masks have been solid.

 

[W75]

Scrivens' gear is pure awesomeness!
Just plain good stuff with a hint of style!

Brian Elliott apparently has two left legs. Hope that's not his final setup, needs some blue in there.
