Agreed. I'll go a step further and add that they should make their anniversary logos permanent as well. The "B" pops a lot more without all of the busy outlines. The serifs that were added in 2007 can stay, though.


I’ll even go one more step further and say they should bring back their black AND white mitts. They wore these for decades and stopped some time in the early 00’s in favor of all black gloves. I love what the Penguins are rocking, that’s what the B’s should go back to as well.

So I got my hand on a pair of 14” HG97 and they are perfect. Much to my surprise the physical glove itself is exactly the same as the 13” model, just with a larger palm/fingers/gussets. Both pairs I have to compare are regular team stock models so I don’t believe any modifications/customizations have been made to either pair. Interesting but pleasant surprise.

I actually went through the exact same ridiculous search a few years back. 13” Jetspeed were tiny in the actual palm, 14” felt massive to me, 14” tacks felt sloppy at best, but I never bothered to try a 13” tacks. For what it’s worth, I found the 14” HG97 to fit pretty well.


That’s good to hear, that’s what I’m hoping for. I have a feeling it’ll rise a little higher up my forearm than I’m use to (14” Jetspeed is shorter than the 13” HG97) but it’s stellar protection none the less.

I found the HGPJS fingers too long , when the HGTK & HG97's finger length were not too long.


I’m having similar findings that are driving me nuts. Tried 13” HGPJS that the fingers were perfect but palms a little small. 14” HGPJS fingers too long and overall glove too big/loose. 13” HG97 palms are perfect but fingers way too short. Decided to try a Warrior 13” Alpha 20 (DX), fingers and palms perfect but gloves are just way too wide/loose. I just ordered a pair of 14” HG97 but I have a feeling the overall glove is going to be too long. Considering trying out the 13” Warrior QRE. Wish I could somehow have the 13” HG97 modified with 14” palms/gussets, feel like that might be a perfect fit for me.
