Never heard of that. Old school Jofa and bowling ball helmets, sure.
I'm looking to upgrade my Bauer, and I've been digging the white look lately, but I'm curious if having a white helmet will get me chirped badly or not.
Those old clear helmets will get a few snickers, even from me and I really don't care what people wear. But, there is a point where I just want to know what they were thinking in buying one of the ugliest pieces of hockey equipment in its history. As far as what color helmet, I don't think anybody cares, it's when you go out of your way to stand out like a chrome helmet where you'll hear it-unless you can play, look like you can mess people up or have above average size, then you'll never heard a word from anybody.
never heard anyone chirp a white helmet. it's a standard color just like black
a yellow helmet on the other hand....
I chirped a guy for wearing a half cage. I mean, why?? Might as well wear the whole thing. Actually he got hit by something in a game once and got blood on my laces. Half cage?
Last night I got chirped by my own team for buying socks to match our jerseys. I know they're kidding around but come on, chirping for wanting a matching uniform? lol
a lot of people started wearing them when ovechkin broke into the league and wore one
to me it's the epitome of d-baggery in hockey and the equivalent of the guy who wears shades everywhere he goes and never takes them off. it's just a really bad attempt at trying to look cool
What happens if I need a tinted visor for my eyes? I wear tinted eyeglasses all the time.
What are some of the most chirpable equipment offenses you guys have seen in beer league?
For me it's definitely:
-Tinted visors
-Colored laces
-Colored blade tape
-Turtlenecks under jerseys (saw this more often during gretzky's time, thankfully not so much anymore)
-Wearing numbers such as 99, 66, 87, 68
-Wearing numbers like 69 (watch out guys! we've got a badass over here)
-Nicknames on the backs of jerseys instead of last names
You would hate me...those are mostly all stupid reasons, I rarely get chirped
yeah that is something definitely you'll get chirped on.Wearing a gopro? Thoughts?
Wearing a gopro? Thoughts?
so you wear a tinted visor, colored laces, colored blade tape, and you wear #69? god that is awful
either you play in a league where everyone else does the same or you're the best player in the league so no one can chirp you for the most part
yeah that is something definitely you'll get chirped on.
Chirped for gear? Really? Are we talking men's rec league? It all sounds like a bunch of 15 year old girls worrying about who's wearing what.
i'd hate to play in any rec league you guys play in
beer league without chirping is like beer league without any beer
