Only a matter of time before the Blackhawks insignia are gone for good. Seems more out of place each season.

Uncomfortably true. I really shouldn't like it probably, but i always did, and still do. It's just clean and simple. With a little bit of ~flair~.
Here's Jarry's new pads set up for those that like to see what everyone is doing, no matter what.
Vaughn going back to their graphic style from 20 years ago, I know because I had those pads with those graphics in 2004

To be fair, CuJo's mask itself, was already a rip off of Andy Moog's mask.

Not to pile on (just kidding, I'm totally piling on intentionally) but DaveArt's designs would be so much better with more simplicity. Kuemper's mask would actually look really fantastic if you lost the hand sketched, jagged linework and all the extra BS. I don't understand why so many goaltenders want their lids to look like they were hand sketched rather than painted.
D'Accord's mask is still a little too busy for my liking but I like how crisp it is. The little design elements are cool too. Tone it down a little bit and that's a beauty of a helmet.

Might be the worst one I've seen from this season. This looks like it was designed in some rednecks garage before he passed out from huffing spray paint fumes.
Unpopular opinion with my fellow Blues fans but Moog's was better. I always liked Joseph's trumpet mask better than the mad dog mask.

Have you seen Saro's mess..err mask? I think that is the runaway leader right now for what on earth are we looking at?
I like Samsonov’s debut Vegas artwork, though I’d have cut down on the 3rd logos on the edges and replaced it maybe with the Vegas word mark. Also,1 looks like he’s switched from a Vaughn’s Pro Choice to a CCM bucket:
Sue me, I like this one too.
This one, meh.

Nothing has a chance to breathe, there's a lightning bolt, there's a lens flare, there's 15 logos packed into the larger image.

Amen. The Kuemper one is actually compositionally, pretty good. It has real promise. Actually follows and respects the lines and contours of the "canvas" (ie.. mask) and has a fairly coherent design concept that isn't overly cluttered. Actually even makes use of some negative space to balance it a bit. Not a super memorable mask, but a good solid one...
Right up until it fumbles at the goal line, where Dave can't help but add detail elements that aren't just crisp, clean lines. They have to be fuzzy and "hand drawn FX" jaggedy lines and unnecessary texturing.
In graphic design terms, crisp clean lines and solid fills almost always work better for clear presentation and communication of a concept. Dave clearly doesn't get that.
Yuck, more printed graphics.
Daccord with True pillows but a Bauer blocker with a similar graphic:

The printed graphics suck, just f***ing do it the normal way.
Daccords set is filthy.

But they gotta save money and be greedy! Equipment makers that is.

I wonder why Levi's pads have that purple/eggplant color in them.

Ah I guess that kind of makes sense although I'm surprised he'd get custom pads for that unless it's that padstick stuff that basically colored tape.
Skinner, wowza
Brian's Fans, rejoice:
Ingrahm, come on man. Add some color!

Georgiev has one of those psychotic heads that Dave throws out every now and then
In defence of Dave, he paints 4-5 masks per team every season and has done for years. At some point the only new thing he can do each year is just pile and layer detail and features on top of one another. You can't create something with permanence when you're going to be replacing it with something else next season anyway.

I like how he says, "it is supposed to look like...blank" because we have no idea what it is supposed to be based on the looks of it lol.
