[Ryano42]

I thought I would post a place for us to exchange graphics ideas, get help from our Photochop and graphics gurus (All hail Chakal, Rbrownie and Punisher!) and gererally scare Scott with our wild ideas! :D

I made a decent blank jpeg of the Fury design sheet, so go at it!

(Bolty...start workin' on that Kings design!!! ;) Rogie!)

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f299/Ryano42/FuryBlank1.jpg

I was thinking of some retro adaptation for a (long off) future set...:cool: Something around Denver, CO 1999 or..something to match a Higgins Mask!

Just brainstormin'!

Enjoy!

[Scott Battram]

Tom, you went to all that trouble and work, while Chakal probably has the blanks someone on his Mac!! haahah... We need to get the pad inside gussett updated so it shows its current look...

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with...

I just finished a really nice looking set of Tribal flames the other day... Chakal if you have the templates post them, I then will show how the finished product came out!

[Punisher]

It's a good effort Ryano, but i could really use the original template.

some lines are to blurry.
But here is a try on the vintage LA colors, the black on the pads is thick stitching. to give that oldschool look, the patches on the shin are pieces of jenpro so that it looks like the straps go throught the pad.

pun. :D

[Ryano42]

Thats gonna look awesome in purple...weave.

Scott, you did such an great job with the "550" pattern, I was thinking about the 560 pattern in my usual red, white and navy Robocop!

My 'chop skills are failing me at the moment but I will keep trying!

Got lots o' time to design it...these Furys I have now are %^&# amazing!!! :)

[Ryano42]

I think it gets the idea across...the "knee rolls would be little more than stitching and the silver gussets help recreate the look of the "560"... :D

Colors are my usual Red, Navy, White and Silver Robocop! :p

Having trouble with the image properties so filling color is manual now...yuck.

Many thanks to Punisher for the help!

i made this little thingy, it's a tribute to ROY, you know the old white pads.

notice that i only colored the side of the sidewall red not the front or the inside.

Widened the areas a bit and adjusted...takes a steady mooooose! :eek:

It's looking familiar, tho we will have to break up BATT RAM between the split in the vertical roll. I think silver between the Red and Navy shapes...

I like...:)

Man, make the knee rolls purple and that's feckin sweet!

[Punisher]

Ryano,

yesterday there was a goalie on tryout at our practise, he had his old gear (gear of last year was owned by the club) and what do you know.
he was sporting a very good preserved set of 560's black white black.

sweet pad, really sweet.

asked him to sell them to me. :D

and a quick edit one for Bolt.

[Scott Battram]

One of the nicest looking sets I have made in the new style (Deceptor, Verge, Fury) featured fake knee rolls and old school face stitching, I will get the photo uploaded here when I get some more time... It basically looks just like the one above, only in Retro Buckey and Black!

[Ryano42]

Scott,

Are the stitching to give the "Knee Roll" look and especially the gussets between them a pain to do?

There are some weird curved stitching on the "560" that were actually rolls that might be fun to do...

Trying to do a pad that is more than just a color design challenge for you...as I usually do! :)

[Masked_Warrior]

Hey guys, I hope to be ordering a pair of pads from scotts in the next six weeks or so and I think I'll be going with a bruins color scheme, sport gold, black and white. Im not sure on that but I'm tossing around options on some different things right now. So I modified a picture from the site a little in ms paint. I was wondering if anyone could photoshop this pic for me?

I just need the circled parts(top binding, side roll) turned into sport gold. Thanks in advance.

[Sprawl]

Hey masked... just my opinion, dont shoot me. :p

I like the black better on the outer roll :p

[Masked_Warrior]

Yeah, it does, im just trying to go for a mainly sport gold design. No, not because of fleury....I just like sport gold pads.

[Masked_Warrior]

How do these look?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v686/Goalie_Girl/bpads.jpg

[Sprawl]

BRIGHT! lol

not my style. needs some white and more black:p

[Masked_Warrior]

I dont think they're too bad but I'm still open to suggestions, if anyone would like to I wouldn't mind to see any combos other people could come up with. I want something thats mainly sport gold with a litt of black, silver and/or white in it.

[Scott Battram]

I know that Chakal has lots of Blank Templates for our stuff...


I wonder if Sprawl could somehow place these here on the Board in such a way that they all are available from a page here... so folks that may not know where to find them can get the blank templates???

Also I have had a few requests for the new Nexxus templates for pads and gloves... If you have those Chakal, post them up here and we will let Sprawl figure out where they can go!

[Sasq24]

Here is my idea, sorry it got cut off somehow and i wasn't going to do it again becasue this took waaay too much time as it was. My idea is simple, i i love the all black and there not too busy.

[Ryano42]

I like!!! Very nice...understated and cool! :)

[TheBigM]

What do you all think of a tartan set (pads and gloves) to go with my new lid? Would it even be possible Scott? Could someone do a mock-up for me?

Here's a picture of my helmet for reference:

Ha! Funny enough, I think Gabe at Hackva fainted when I first sent him my design ideas for the mask. :D

But I have the utmost faith in Scott! ;)

[Punisher]

best you could do to minimize that the pads would get to busy is use it where it wouldn't see to much ice and use real tartan.
here's an idea.

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/3865/tartanvu9.jpg

pun.

[Sprawl]

the green and red makes my eyes bleed

not as bad as purple... but oh man!!!

get some white in there and take away some of the "OMG I'M GOING BLIND EFFECT". use the colours as "accents" instead of the primaries and i think you'll have a better overal design

[Scott Battram]

I am sure we can do it... but I would have to leave it up to the graphics man to figure out how to do it!! hahah unless you want your gear made from kilt fabric! hahah

[TheBigM]

Pun, that's interesting, but I agree with Sprawl the red and green is a little much. :eek: I really like the look of the side with the tartan on it. Just for fun, could you photoshop the entire pad in tartan?

Scott, I'm encouraged by our optimism. And no, I don't want it made out of actual tartan (which is wool)! Could you imagine how heavy that would get when wet! :D

M.

[TheBigM]

Thanks pun, that's very interesting.... You're right, it is MacLaine of Lochbuie. Even though it's typically a larger grid, I think it would look better a little smaller. Or maybe as more of an accent than the entire pad....

M.

[Scott Battram]

I am not up on my Tartan corduras but a quick search revealed that there is such a beast!

As my son would say "SWEET!!" Just wondering if a 3D effect can be pulled off? If anyone can it's Scott & Co.:cool:

[Scott Battram]

Jeesh!! that would look cool! Now that we have another material option in the mix Brushed Jenpro, I am sure the 3d effect could work, with Weave and Regular jenpro as well as the brushed...

[Gregan]

Any pictures of Brushed Jenpro available? I did a google search and couldn't find anything.

[IbeLeaf]

Cant wait till I can afford them. Scott should be expecting my call in about a year.

Also, I didn't mean to leave the Battram logo black and so un-noticable. If I get this done, the Battram text will be light grey like the center of the spider.

[Sprawl]

you're not allowed playing against me.

i dont want your pads to upstage me!

[IbeLeaf]

LOL. No way I'll be getting new pads anytime soon. I just started playing, and even if my pads upstaged anyone, I am still a beginner and still suck ass.

[Scott Battram]

I dont know the entire story behind this material, my sales rep's version was they brought in several thousand yards of this material for a company, the company backed out of the material, the supplier was stuck with it and did not take any money from the company upfront and has been selling it off to recover their initial output and for what it is selling for they must be either taking a loss or they make huge profits on Jenpro..., its a one time thing since it was a custom order... when its gone its gone, but I have purchased full rolls of this material in a few colours... It looks like a satin finish with vertical brush strokes through it... its interesting, probably not something for a full set of gear but makes a nice accent material... the metallic gold and green are especially sharp! White and black are pretty basic... the black almost looks like a charcoal...

[Telgip33]

Well here is the new set of Nexus gear I would be ordering from Scott if my numbers came up.........it's good to dream :)

[Sasq24]

Nice set, makes me crave a banana split with blueberries!

[Telgip33]

Thanks....maybe the gear would have the same affect on the shooters......they would get hunger and loose focus and shoot wide......I could use all the help I could get :p

My team is Nashville colours, so that's how I came up with thoses colours........and the fact me and yellow (sports gold in this case) have been buddies for a long time!

[LBR119]

What???? No Smiley????:p

[Telgip33]

Well if I didn't go with the stock graphic........then there just might be a smiley :)

[HotBranch!]

Is there a PDF, GIF, or JPG version of the template for the Custom Chakal graphic?

I have tried it out on the flash customizer on the Battram site, but I'd like to tweak a few things using PaintShop Pro.

[Scott Battram]

Chakal should have one...

[Jase96]

Chakal can you email me a blank template of the Nexus set? I created some designs but probably should use the official template instead of the ones I downloaded off battram.com since they are not the same pad templates to begin with.

[Gregan]

Why don't you just use the template posted by Telgip?

[Jase96]

cuz i'm designing all my graphics from scratch, not using the template stock lines/stripes

[Jase96]

Hell just start a new Templates thread and sticky it!

[Jase96]

Here I took the liberty of stripping out all the lines when I was designing my Nexus pads. If anyone is interested here is a Nexus template with absolutely no graphics on there. So if you are ambitious you can create your own design. :) full res template (http://www.dynastyhockeypool.com/img/nexus_blank.jpg)

[Sprawl]

Jase! awesome work. Mind if i grab that and make a copy to sticky here?

[Scott Battram]

Sprawl, perhaps an entire section of the board could be used for a massive storehouse of templates?? There are lots on our site, but it would be really cool if we could somehow store them in one thread on the BB for the customers to pick the one they need to use.

I know David has many of them blanks as well. It would be easier to get them here, then I can just point people to the link when they ask for these templates via email.

[Sprawl]

have him email me any templates. I'll set up a stickied thread with a listing and links to every one

[Jase96]

Jase! awesome work. Mind if i grab that and make a copy to sticky here?

if you need it... do it! if u can get it from chakal... do that! :D

[EdwardL]

I just drew this up. I couldnt think up any cool graphics, and I really like how the velocity stuff looks but I really want to go with Battram for my set. So here's my custom battram velocity set. Black/White/Silver
Will these graphics costs extra?

Can we call you Junior Chakal for your artistic prowess? :D

There would be a very small custom graphics charge for those.

[Eagle85]

wow that look like the yea 2 or 3 velo design

Opened up photoshop and tried to see how they'd look.

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/2209/bblockerbu5.jpg
I'm still undecided on whether to make the silver weave or not.

Though I like this color combo a lot.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5528/bronzepadsmv9.jpg

[Jester]

EdwardL,

As the owner of a black, white and bronze weave set, I can assure you it is an incredible color combination. The bronze just pops out. For me personally, silver is overused. At any rate, enjoy your equipment buying experience.....

[Old Style 31]

The bronze is definately nicer than the silver. I'd go with that if I had to choose between those two.

Edit: Here's a link to a recently ended e-bay auction for velos in the black/white/bronze if you want to see what they'd look like.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140188753026&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004

[Gregan]

I would agree, silver is a good accent to another slightly bolder color then black. I have navy and silver and think it looks sharp, but the black and silver looks sharp, but a little plain overall.

[Gregan]

Man... looking at the velocities I wonder why anyone would like them, they look so HUGE and bulky. I'd never go with set of Velos...

I decided to go with the bronze.

[Gregan]

How come on all of Chakal's customizers Green only shows up in weave? There is no plain old simple non weave green. Is this just an oversight by Chakal or is there really no plain green available?

[Scott Battram]

There is a forrest weave, a forest jenpro and also a "kelly" green jenpro... the forest of course being the nicest. If you look at Jase96 pads those have the forrest green jenpro!

[Goatee220]

The forest weave rocks too!

[simpsoncop]

Have been working on a design for my Battram Custom order. Played around with some slightly curved lightning bolt designs that run from the top corner of the pad/blocker to the opposite bottom corner, but was wondering if anyone had any similar ideas or suggestions that they wouldn't mind sharing?
Any help would be appreciated!

I have been kicking around some different looks also using the Bolt as a design starting point. I am looking at the bolt the the SD Chargers use on the side of the pants, trying to get them on a pad in a way that looks great. Hoping to have it figured out in time to put on a new set of Nexus pads.

[Duff33]

You would be right - that is exactly what it is

Even the gf liked it and she 'hates' Metallica :D

Was tempted to go for the Metallica 'ninja star' on the blocker in some fashion, just trying to decide on the catcher.

Though I am also tempted to leave the pads like that and then go a bit 'crazy' with the black and white (and flashes of red) on the gloves...

[Telgip33]

Hey Duff33,

Great idea for a set of pads......love the Metallica "scray guy". I have never seen that done on goalie gear......I have seen the Metallica "ninja star" on a set of Brian's pads.....looked pretty good too....

[Duff33]

Thaok cool telgip - am quite tempted by the idea of the ninja star on the blocker in some form.

I did draw a blocker design with the 'star' in the middle, but am not sure about it.

I might try one with the star 'creeping' in from the bottom corner...

Just leaves me with the glove to do then.

Must admit a temptation to see if I can get a Black Album snake on the bar in the pocket of the catcher...

[Telgip33]

That's a great idea about the snake on the "T" in the catcher! :)

[Slapshot011]

I designed this one a while ago and have most likely shelved it because of the retro set. Me likey the retro.

Was talking about it this morning on the chat with sprawl so I figured I'd share with the class. I used 2 different all white sets from the custom galleries to do the photoshop after I drew them out on templates. One with and one without logos on the face. I'd probably opt for the no logos on the face. Would need a little tweaking (and a lot of money) before I'd order unfortunately.

Hey Scott. I'm going to assume you meant mine and reply... If not sorry, carry on.. I actually thought the same thing too and tried to photoshop in some black laces and logo in the pocket, maybe some black on the T one of the higher ups was in and out of my office a lot that day so I bailed on it and posted.

[dylan33]

Hey Slapshot, could you photoshop a set Nexus pads with the iceberg graphic in white, red iceberg, and black trim around the iceberg.

[Slapshot011]

Dylan

I might be able to do that I'll pm you later today or tomorrow. I have a couple questions

[goldeneye76]

i would like some opinions on this pad design. i was thinking maybe having the bottom loop flare out above the toe. i was also thinking that the blocker would be the same as the pad and the glove would have the top loop on the cuff and the bottom loop would follow the contor of the catching part.

[GoalieNut]

I've been sick the last couple of days with a cold and getting bored so thought I'd create a pad graphic...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v694/vokeyma/template11082008.jpg
Think it would look pretty cool on a Nexus pad...

[NYCGoalie]

I didn't even know this thread even existed. Cool!!!!

I had drawn a simple idea that I liked a long time ago. If I were to ask Scott to make me a new pad, I'd be partial to this graphic. I was more thinking about how this would look when it was down in the butterfly than just in a basic stance.

It's one of those "you either love it or hate it" sorta things...kinda like me.

I can see this in other colors and schemes. I'd love to hear opinions either way. Fire away!!!

I'm wondering if some one can do a shot for me of a Verge blocker done in the Waffle style blocker board in Navy/White/Orange, with the back ground of the holes done in orange ? I'm thinking of placing an after christmas order for this. Thanks for you help guys

[Ironhead]

I am working up some ideas for a new set of fury's.

Just want some feedback on what you guys think, and maybe Scott can speak to the one that may be a nightmare to put together.

Sorry, the image is HUGE!

I love the firebird idea. I think it would look hot in black/red/white or black/bronze/white. I own a Fury set in black/bronze/white and the combo works well. Have fun with the design.....

[Telgip33]

Ironhead,

That's some nice work with all the different options.......but if I was picking I would go with #6 from the top (black with teal outlined bird with orange higlights) But I don't think you could go wrong with any of them :)

[Ironhead]

Thanks for the replies!

I'd much rather that these pads be in the "Blue, Blanc, et Rouge" but the Sharks colors are what I am stuck with. I think I can get away with the bronze and gold firebird pads though. Who's going to complain about pads that look like the Bandit's car?

[Scott Battram]

None of the designs would cause any problems at all... heck, we made the Joker pads! These will be a piece of cake! However, the teal may be one of the discontinued colours from Ennis, unless I have some in stock that might be a problem...

[Beccaraptor]

I called about a month ago and found out teal has been discontinued from Ennis. Nash has a few yards left in stock.

[Vinnie33]

Be nice to know what colors ARE still avail. I know Cranberry and Teal are now gone forever. What else? Those are 2 major colors of 2 NHL Teams...Love to know why discontinued :confused:

[Scott Battram]

You don't see many off the shelf items out there using Cranberry and Teal, there was a couple others as well, with a lot of production going offshore for many items from the big company's Ennis is simply reducing their stock that they need to carry, with low demand for certain colours, they just discontinue them, its like any product, if its not selling, stores wont stock it.

When Ennis orders they have to order container loads, the mill that makes the fabric likely has minimums on how many rolls of each they need to take before they produce it, they wont likely start the machines up for 60 yards of cranberry or teal.

If production continues to go offshore, I can see a day where the smaller companies will be limited to 10 colours, Black, Red, Blue, Navy, White, Sport Gold and a few others, as Ennis simply wont stock the stuff we need. Hopefully this is where companies like Majalite will come in and pick up on some of the colours Ennis has dropped.

[Ironhead]

While it does suck that those colors are gone, it certainly makes my decision much easier!

[Vinnie33]

Hope you are right Scott...hate to see once having all the choices of the NHL colors going back to just the basics again, u know?

[Duff33]

Scott,

What's the 'soft' material you use on the catcher? I seem to recall you saying it made it close easier

[Scott Battram]

Ultima is the material we have been putting in the palm area of the Nexus glove, its a little bit softer and more pliable than the Jenpro so it actually helps the gloves closure, some guys are saying it seems to help the puck stay in the glove better as well. It has a little more grip too so perhaps it slows the puck slightly when the vertical side of the puck hits the glove, the friction may help reduce the spin on the puck.

[Beccaraptor]

I would like to see it go back to just black, white, blue, red, and a true looking vintage brown. :D j/k!

Unfortunately this may make repairs on some of the older gear a few years down the road more difficult if the customer wants the colors matched.

Nice. Just trying to design myself some new gloves :D

Couple of low res design ideas:

No gloves to go with them yet though!

[Vinnie33]

OMFG I want those Stewie & Brian Pads! :D:D
Cool!!

[Duff33]

Thanks Vinnie. It's quite a low res pic and not in RGB so the colours are a little naff but you get the idea.

Looking at doing some gloves to go with it, though I have been distracted desining a Fallout 3 set of pads :D

Definitely - I don't seem to have half as many pop-outs with it than my 5002 (not that that was bad either)

The break / closure is great after 4 sessions too

[Vinnie33]

Cool - then maybe Scott will throw some on mine then :-) since my orders in now...less pop outs and easier closing - very cool!

[Duff33]

I don't seem to have half as many pop-outs

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh, pop outs, huh huh huh huh huh huh

Playing with some ideas for the gloves I'd like to get.

Been playing with the idea of a Stargate Atlantis themed kit :D

Blocker is as far as I have got though :rolleyes:

Thought i'd post a Fury template i made. Not the best one i've ever made, but i've only been making these for a month

Thought this might make it a bit easier to colour in, so you dont always have to go on the Fury customiser on the Battram site.

Learned a VALUABLE lesson in the past few months folks -

I had a 'old' Boddam Catch glove which I really loved - but the new stuff Dr. Scott had created for me pushed it to the curb . . . but I'd fallen in love with the idea of a "LOBSTER GLOVE", more or less as a 'freak' for my office, the occasional playoff game 'secret weapon', etc . . . :D

Anyway, back 5 months ago, I sent off my Boddam glove with a Koho blocker, with the idea of modifications to the catch being $200, and the blocker (to match) being $100-150 range. When I sent it off to this custom place, I was initially quoted (after shipping the gloves!) $600-650 for the modifications! When I contacted them and told them that this was outrageous, it was modified to $350 - so I swalllowed - and told them to begin. I'll just let the details go for now, but this week - I got photos of the 'finished' Gloves back, and some of the Modifications had not been done! When I wrote back - I got a snippy response - and promptly sent back an E-mail - with copies of our previous correspondence and the outline of what I had intended to be done - and got a snippy response back! On top of that, I was told there will be an additional charge of $132 on TOP of what we agreed to! Stern language followed, with copies of THEIR E-mail to me and the agreed upon price . . .

Anyway, suffice it to say - 5 months later (initially quoted 4 weeks, then eight . . ., finally at the end of 20 weeks) that I got it at the original price with a lot of aggravation.

Never, Never Again will I deviate from Battram. I should have asked Scott in the first place, but figured he was too busy to take on this project.

Never, Never Again anything but Battram.

AL-E-Gator:D

[rpearce76]

Can we see pics of this lobster glove?

Also, lots of nice designs in this thread guys. Good work. Once I get photoshop setup I am going to post an idea I have.

[EddieQ]

Dunno how good anyone here would be with this, but i'm looking to order some new pads soon, probably a cyclone combo.

Ideally i'm looking for a Scottish, but simple kinda theme.

The pads to have snow leopard print accross the knee area and outside panel like the black watch pipe band. One pad inside leg guard to have a Scottish St Andrews Cross and the other pad to have a Scottish Lion Rampant. All the rest of the pad white.

The Catcher and blocker mainly white, but with a leopard trim and the wrist guard on the catcher a St Andrews Cross and the the blocker a Lion Rampant.

Any chance of knocking up a rough sketch and getting a ball park figure for cost?

Thanks

[Snaphu]

I think you've come to the right place, Scott should be able to put something together to your liking. Here is a picture of the retro set Scott made for me with the Rampant Loin.

[EddieQ]

Unfortunately i'm not able to see the image. Something about not having sufficient privelages to view the image :mad:

Just checked your image gallery tho. Those are super cool!

Are you originally from Scotland?

[Snaphu]

From Scotland, indirectly by about 485 years :D but I do love the sound of the pipes. I’ve been looking into getting an Edinburgh Capitals jersey but haven't been able to find a goalie cut jersey.

Go to Scott Battram’s website, you’ll be impressed by the graphic work he is doing.

[goalieguy981]

I'm also a big fan of scottish ancestry on pads/masks and all that fun stuff

Being an Angus and all....... It would be really cool to get my family crest on a mask or even pads or sommit like that

[Snaphu]

On the second page of this thread you'll find a mask I think you'd like painted by Gabe at Hackva. Acmeguy at Coveted Mask, page six of his tread, has also done Coat-of-Arm on some masks he has painted. With pads, I don't think Scott has reached his limits yet.

Horrible, horrible photoshop butchering, but what do you guys think of my take on the Ravage graphic? Its TML colours, blue jenpro with white weave on silver weave. I was inspired by the classic ravage graphic, and Carey Price's pads.

If i was able to order an entire set, i'd get these:

Though......... just the gloves would be cool......

[Vinnie33]

They'd be pretty cool! Look like they'd be a real P.I.T.A. to stitch! :p

I may have found exactly what you;re looking for :D

Elite Ice hockey League Shop (http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/index.php?option=com_rokquickcart&view=rokquickcart&Itemid=105)

On that link there's a blue one available for £35 in NM size. You could even order it to me and i'd send it on if you in the US wanted.

[Snaphu]

Thanks for the help, I'll PM you about details.

[leenco12]

Tom, you went to all that trouble and work, while Chakal probably has the blanks someone on his Mac!! haahah... We need to get the pad inside gussett updated so it shows its current look...

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with...

I just finished a really nice looking set of Tribal flames the other day... Chakal if you have the templates post them, I then will show how the finished product came out!
It's a good effort Ryano, but i could really use the original template.

some lines are to blurry.
But here is a try on the vintage LA colors, the black on the pads is thick stitching. to give that oldschool look, the patches on the shin are pieces of jenpro so that it looks like the straps go throught the pad.

[Scottish]

What do you all think of a tartan set (pads and gloves) to go with my new lid? Would it even be possible Scott? Could someone do a mock-up for me?

Here's a picture of my helmet for reference:

And here's a sample of just the tartan:

I love this Mask..... as a fellow Scotsman, I was also looking into the Tartan theme, but instead I just got my back plate done with the flag. My initial design was to have my Tartan with Clan logo on backplate but will save that for when I get a new mask.

How much and where did you get yours done?

[Free Willy]

I love the look of the Texalium.

Great looking mask.

It was done by Gabe from Hackva as part of my mask order... it's been long enough now that I honestly can't remember how much it cost.

It goes great with my tartan Battrams! :eek:

Ha ha now thats customization at its finest! I doubt I would be able to get somethign like that with my Tartan, but def my mask will have it incorporated for sure.

[daviddwilson]

Scott,

Are the stitching to give the "Knee Roll" look and especially the gussets between them a pain to do?

There are some weird curved stitching on the "560" that were actually rolls that might be fun to do...

Trying to do a pad that is more than just a color design challenge for you...as I usually do! :)
Hey guys, I hope to be ordering a pair of pads from scotts in the next six weeks or so and I think I'll be going with a bruins color scheme, sport gold, black and white. Im not sure on that but I'm tossing around options on some different things right now. So I modified a picture from the site a little in ms paint. I was wondering if anyone could photoshop this pic for me?
