I like it. They could up the ante and put on some clown noses too. Petey and Hogs could do a unicycle show between periods. It would be so great Edited January 24 by luckylager 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwarrior Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think they look better than the ones worn by L.A. and Vegas. I'll reserve my judgement once we see them on the ice. Still kind of on the gimmicky side to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Looks like Tron to me. Good movie but don't know if it's a great look for ice hockey. End of line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 i don't have a strong opinion either way, but if it helps the players feel more engaged the way that the black unis for whatever reason seem to, have at 'er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIsleCanucklehead Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Well I gotta say they look like shit on the Kings and the Knights, whoever came up with this idea needs to keep there design ideas to the Vegas strip. The retro kit with the matte black buckets look amazing, I would prefer they held fast on that idea and went with a matte blue over chrome dome C-3PO puke worthy buckets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After ten or 20 wins on 0 losses, I want matching skates for everyone. Edited January 24 by Tusk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll definitely retract my comments if they win every game with these lids but if you look up the players quotes they sure don’t seemed to stoked on these. One word answers from players like Miller “shiny” “we wear whatever we’re told to wear” they sure don’t seemed to pumped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the answers are just honest, not "reluctant" or whatever. I bet half the guys are sleeping with it on tonight ha ha ha, thier wives or girlfriends demanded it.

Well I gotta say the matte black lids had a completely different team response, now we have what appears to be the exact opposite. Mind you there’s not a ton a material to reference from. We definitely don’t need to try and copy such a hideous idea/design when we originated such deadly one in the matte lids. The reaction from team members was a bit more muted. “Shiny,” said J.T. Miller, keeping his response brief when asked to share his thoughts. “We wear what we’re told to wear.” The head coach had a similarly short response. “I’m not a designer, man,” said Rick Tocchet when asked about the team’s new fashion statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally love the Matte black. We are the only ones who have a Matte finish lid. But every girl hates the Matte. I bet they love the shiny sparkly stuff, maybe if you cant have glitter you just want a Maserati or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Not really a fan of these chrome domes. It's a hockey helmet, not a fashion accessory. Hate Vegas' so this is at least one step up. I just don't really care for them. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
