Bauer is bringing back the Cooper brand with a Bauer 4500 rebranded as a Cooper. Also brought back the old school Cooper shoulders.

OMG. Seriously so excited to see this. If they could bring back and update some of their original hits like the Techniflex TF1000 gloves and Armour Foam 4 and 5 rolls with modern updates like 2/3 piece fingers in addition to these I would be so stoked.

I could leave the stick in lieu of the above:

That's awesome. Loved the Cooper logo. Had a Cooper 3000 when they first rolled out.

I'm not saying this is why they are doing it, however, follow me here...

 

In July 2016, there was an opposition filed to the USPTO (https://trademarks.j...r-85934700.html).  I'm guessing that someone challenged Bauer's ownership of the trademark for not having it used in commerce and their attorneys went into motion. 

 

A year later, the opposition was mysteriously dropped, and Bauer has since asked the USPTO for extensions, to the tune of a 5th extension filed and granted in March of this year. 

 

So, my guess is USPTO told Bauer to either shit or get off the pot, and this offering is them getting off the pot.

 

BTW, this is why the NHL, for many years, has kept their top past team logos as offerings (i.e. NY Americans, Hartford Whalers, Minnesota North Stars, Quebec Nordiques) on nhl.com.

 

Anyhow, carry on.

Good insight! Hope that the ongoing pressure leads to more original Cooper products instead of just slapping Cooper onto Current Bauer products.

If I'm a betting man, you won't see much come from it.

I'd be content with some apparel.

Well that didn’t take long. $40 markup when they’re still available direct from Bauer...

Bauer did this with Flak a decade or so ago too. I’m surprised Cooper hasn’t been a low end SMU somewhere like Canadian Tire before now.

I've been meaning to pick up a backup helmet so this was a good excuse for one. Also helps me channel my inner 90's Roenick as a kid. Thanks Jake (GoldenStateSharpening) for the ear loops!

I’m a duster that regularly plays with a full cage. This is the only visor I had lying around for the photo. If I start wearing this setup I’ll get a different visor

Glad to see the loops on a helmet and not sitting in my supply cabinet. A black 4500 with white loops will always look good!


"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

Kind of wish they would put VN foam in it. New padding, classic design.


Custom everything.

So looking at some pictures from the 90's, it's funny how beat to shit all the gear was. I used to have the old Sherwood gloves and Supra pants like Chris Chelios (I wanted all his gear, since I live in Chicago and played D). I remember when I couldn't wait for the stuff to get all worn looking. Now, we're all looking for the cleanest, freshest gear...

CCM will do the same in March.  They plan to sell direct and I'm sure the HT2 or something old will return as a CCM online exclusive.
