Article Archive #44 - Double Goalie Gear

This post originally appeared on Hockey Jersey Concepts on December 2nd, 2016.

Hello folks!  How's it going?

There's not really any news to talk about today as far as hockey jerseys or logos go (as far as I know), so I thought I'd once again discuss one of my favourite topics, goalie gear!  In particular, let's focus on three goalies that dress different at home compared to on the road.

As you can see in the above photos, both Corey Crawford and Mike Smith wear black equipment at home and white equipment on the road, while Marc-André Fleury switches up his helmet for home or road games.  You don't see many goalies doing this (at least prior to this year), but I think it's a great idea.  I like the variety that the two sets of gear provide, and the goalies fit in better with the rest of the teammates who wear different helmets for at home and on the road.  Of the three goalies, Crawford's two sets are my favourite, I like how his helmets match and that he switches up his gear as well.

Do you agree with my thoughts about the two sets of goalie gear, or do you think one set is best?
