Goalies in the wrong colors

[vayeate]

It hurts my eyes, but I always loved seeing goalies wearing the wrong colored pads. It reminds me of the old NHL games when you traded goalies and their pads stayed the same.

EDIT since some people can't tell Roloson's pads are the wrong color in my post:

I had to look at that picture for a while to be convinced the bits on the pads are green. His blocker had the right shade of blue:

Id go transparent, so the shooter would be tricked.

Tim Thomas in Dallas with the Panthers set-up was horrendous. It reminds me of when I used to play NHL 07 and goalies had their set equipment no matter what team they played for.

None of those other pictures even compare

The fact that it’s Tim Thomas makes the picture twice as bad… but it’s already the worst up there by miles.

I know this is sarcasm, because it isn't really faisible

But reflective (ie mirror) pads would be doable sort of, though i have to assume the reason we haven't see any is that there are rules against those? now that would trick opponents

I dont get the Oilers goalie one? Am I missing something? He has the correct colored equipment does he not? pads are correct color , glove blocker , mask even ?

Pads don’t match up. It’s Dwayne Roloson with his Minnesota pads. The gold matches up their old jersey and you can see the TPS being Wild green.

Uh oh. I’m getting old . I couldn’t tell the TPS was green by looking at it originally and the gold matches to me …. Only when you say that it is does my brain and old eyes realize it is green . I think it is time for reading glasses

Useless info about the Roloson pic: he had a pair of Oilers pads for months but didn't wear them because he was playing great in his Minnesota set. He also hated breaking in new equipment, so Ty Conklin was doing it for him in practice and was actually wearing Roloson's new gear when the screw up late in Game 1 against Carolina happened.

Scrivens still had his Kings equipment for his record setting 59-save shutout.

The ugliest card ever made.

My favorite part is the Flyers logo like "hey guys, me too".

It kinda matches if you squint hard enough.

It only took him 40 years to make the NHL you can't have him changing clothes

I actually liked the gold Roli pads on the Oilers at the time. His helmet tied it in.

Are both pictures in the first row a result of the same trade?

Dwayne Roloson pitched a shutout, too.

It's barely noticeable.

So.....do you have to paint, or re-upholster the pads, I can't imagine brand new?

Ya sure if you want though the various equipment companies give the goalies what 3-4 pairs per year? Price alone has that many in different styles. Some he tries in practice and never uses in games.

I used to really dig Johan Hedberg's blue mask when he played for the Pens.
