Some players get different padding put in. This is from a Malkin 4500:



Plus the side decals aren't printed on at the factory so the EQMs don't need to take them off with acetone or anything (since the NHL doesn't allow them).

Are those pads the reason his helmet always looks crooked on his head? 

its worth replacing the padding! Maybe getting the back half from a 4500 if thats the only part cracked

wouldn't I need to buy a new helmet to replace the padding? 

well done.

Out of curiosity, is there a specific why you wanted a Nike logo on your 4500 bucket?

Moose just about nailed it. I guess nostalgia? I have a Nike 0004 but it has cracked at all 4 screws and the padding is rock hard. 

You find that Navy 4500 yet?

is a Navy 4500 hard to find? If so I better start stocking up. 

Purchased my first pair of pro stock gloves. Iginila AX1 Navy warriors from stack the pad. Bought them without knowing much about the gloves, but they have digital palms which I think is a good thing aside from durability. Additionally I think they may be Franchise dressed as AX1, since there is not any sort of AX1 marking inside the glove. I'm not sure how I feel about the solid one piece lower cuff and the thumb not being a flex thumb but I'll give them a shot.
