2024-25 New Goalie Gear Setups and Masks

[Honour Over Glory]

This looked like quite the....sticky design.

The islanders should lose their first round pick for allowing a player to pay for this to assault every fans eyesight.

I will never ever understand how anyone can open a box from Dave, look at the mask, and be excited. If a five old did this kind of work it might be fridge worthy, but only because you’d feel obligated.

I'm about 50/50 on his stuff, some of it is astoundingly good and some of it is absolutely repulsive. That Islanders design that someone recently posted is among the worst mask art designs I've ever seen in my entire life. In fact I'll just say it, it is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen.

I think is sucks too but clearly Varly likes the style for some reason

Love the orange. The rest meh.

Dave’s hubris is astounding. I’m amazed he hasn’t broken vertebrae patting himself on the back for all the “tech” he’s apparently invented.

 

[Grifter3511]

Ejaculation FX Tech is back for another year.

It's gotta be a play on the name Semyon, no?

Semyon Varlamov, Sem....n Varlamov
Unfortunately, it seems like Dave misread the name tag.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The only thing worse than Dave's awful art and design is his moronic captions with heavy emojis.

My issue with almost all of his work is you have absolutely no idea what most of the masks are supposed to show. I miss the days of a clearly designed mask that's "readable." Almost all of his masks are a total mess. His more subdued and calm masks are generally quite nice but all the lens flares and tech ruin the vast majority of his work. Thankfully there are a handful of other artists who are infinitely better.

Exactly. No matter what the colour, logo, or team, they seem to all look the same. Cluttered messes of more is more.
“Readable” is a perfect word for a good mask. Not this “deeper into the story” vomit he throws on everything.

Looks way too much like a bowl of Chicken and Stars soup:




Okay sue me, I like this design:

Why would Ottawa do this? They should be punished.

The Hogberg one I kinda like. Always loved the Fisherman logo. Would be funny to see a goalie just put a fish stick on their mask, or like the box of fish sticks from High Liner

 

[Shark Finn]

I'll say this every year but f*** the fake lens flare bullshit DaveArt constantly puts up, among other things.

The Högberg mask would be a solid one without all the lens flare and whatever FX. Kinda funny though that the NY stick logo is almost spot on placed and angled as in the Varlamov mask…

Literally anyone with a DaveArt mask should be fined.

Dustin Wolf has a new mask.

I've only seen a pic of the back of it as it was tweeted by the NHL.

The backplate is a tribute to Gaudreau and it looks like he's gone to design similar to his Everett days
