Article Archive #7 - Goalie Gear Again

This post originally appeared on Hockey Jersey Concepts on February 19th, 2016.

Hello folks!  A few goalie have unveiled and/or worn new noteworthy pads since I last talked about goalie gear, so that's what I'm going to discuss today.

Marc-Andre Fleury broke out his yellow pads once again the last few times the Penguins wore their third jersey.  Earlier this year he was just wearing his regular equipment when the Penguins went old school, although he did wear these pads last season.

Speaking of going old school, the Canucks looked beautiful in their 90's jerseys last Saturday (their performance wasn't so pretty).  Ryan Miller joined the fun and wore these awesome black pads.  I also loved the simplicity of the helmet design, I think most goalie helmets are too detailed nowadays.

Jacob Markstrom (seen here arguing with a fan during pre-game warm-up) didn't play in that game, but that didn't stop him from getting a new set of gear of his own.

Saving the best for last, my favourite goalie Eddie Lack tweeted out this picture of what just might be my favourite set of goalie gear ever.  These are black versions of his current set, and they check both the boxes that I look for in goalie gear, a custom design and a non-white base colour.  He hasn't worn these yet, but I couldn't wait to talk about them.

If you have an opinion on any of these goalie pads, don't be afraid to leave a comment.
