These are expensive AF, but I've dreamt of owning these for a while. If I had more than two pennies to rub together, I'd sure as hell give them a lot of consideration:

(EDIT: Never mind.)

When you're talking about the retail CCM/RBK jerseys, are you talking about the boxier jersey cut that was phased out of the NHL in 2007? If so, I was also between a L and XL when I wore a retail jersey over my pads. For reference, I am 6", but I have freakishly long legs.

I'd say go with a 56 to be on the safe side. They're plenty streamlined. I wear 56 in a Reebok Edge/CCM Quicklite cut and they're both perfect for me. Lastly, I did once rock Adidas practice jerseys in a size 52 (the nicer air-knit retail jerseys places like Rev Up Sports used to carry), but those were SUPER tight. I have no idea how or why I put up with them for so long.

Hope that helps steer you in the right direction.

I've also done this myself with a seam ripper, and on a similar pair of Calgary Flames pants, no less. Those 2007-2021 pant stripes were terrible (as was the rest of the uniform that was paired with them) and I can't say I blame you for wanting to send them to the landfill.

Anyway, the only hurdle I ran into was with the bottom seam of the pant legs, which as you tell from the picture, is sewn over top of the stripes. I ended up partially unstitching those as well and just leaving it loose, which thankfully didn't result in any kind of catastrophe, but I wouldn't recommend it and there's probably an actual proper way to deal with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you on that one, but hopefully someone else chimes in.

EDIT: Forgot to add that all you should need to unstitch on the stripes is just the stitching on the white stripe, as the other layers are sewn on top of that and not to the actual pant itself.

Five grand for a pair of used skates someone glued hastily cutout portions of a New Balance sneaker to, which might be good for a laugh once, maybe twice? Hard pass.

Non-profit mental health hockey program? LOL. LMAO, even. If someone on SLS told me the sky was blue, I'd look out the window to double-check.

If you're the kind of person who's so desperate to sell something that you need to create a hundred billion hashtags so that they show up all over my unrelated saved searches, I hope you fucking die.

FINALLY!!!

 

Carolina Hurricanes Whalers alternate

Sick. One of the best colorways in the league and Covert QRLs were the last good gloves Warrior made.

My kingdom for a pair of 2S Pros in Whalers colors.

Thank you to everyone that helped me build that set
Showtime in Hockeytown

Dude, this set frickin' RULES. The pedant in me would take a seam ripper to that sponsor patch yesterday, though.

These aren't exactly in mint condition, but I know there's a few folks here who dig the new Sharks pants, and this seems like a good chance to snag a pair for a hundo.

Jesus... where to begin?

1. Those aren't even Hyperlites, but rather X2.7s, which came out under the Flylite line.
2. They're being sold at $450 for the pair.
3. That seller is unsmart.
4. See point #3.
5. Even if they were Hyperlites, at that price you'd need to sell me upwards of nine of them, because the Hyperlite is a dumpster stick for trash people and it belongs in the toilet.
6. See point #4.

After noticing that this guy was also selling a pair of Byron Froese Quicklites identical to the ones I saw over on ProStockHockey, I was about to vilify him for taking a page out of SIG Hockey's playbook, but PSH still has their pair and also he hasn't jacked up these or the Vancouver thirds up to some ridiculous price point, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Hell, if these gloves were Quicklites instead of Crazy Lights, I might've jumped on them myself at that price.

That boxed out logo will always be my favorite.  Luckily the still have some merch with it, I picked up 2 hoodies on clearance in the spring from their site with that logo on the chest, think I paid $20/ea, couldn't pass that up.

Nice. That's a hell of a deal considering CCM has the audacity to charge $70 for ONE over on iDub. They better come with Scarlett Johansson and Alexandra Daddario's phone numbers stitched somewhere inside one of the pockets, otherwise you got a snowball's chance in hell selling me one at that price.

Late to the discussion here, but frankly, I never liked the CCM logo they rolled out in 2007. I used to be one of those weirdos who frequented free font websites and noticed that the new logo bore a strong resemblance to a tawdry-looking font called Demonized. Removing the pointed serifs makes it look even cheaper.

If I were in charge of the company, I'd find their current graphics designer, slap his hands away from the editing desk, give him a coloring book, and then find someone who could take the '70s-2007 logo and modernize it.

Donezo. Where is my obscenely large sack of money?

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.

Rangers breaking in alternate gloves

Are those... Supreme Mach gloves with Vapor cuffs?

Not that I blame him for swapping them out. The Mach cuffs kinda suck.

I hate this so much. I don't know who needs to hear this, but stop cutting the thumb loops on your gloves and then wondering why no one wants them.

Furthermore, why even put yourself through the aggravation of selling something only worth $5? If you're that hard-up for cash, you could flip burgers for half a shift at any fast food joint or make grocery runs for infirm/lazy people and still come out way on top.

This person has made horrible life choices far beyond just hastily drilling holes in his shield.

If wanting a pair of these in mediums is wrong, I don't wanna be right: https://www.ebay.com...me:vlp_homepage

Eh... I like the colorway, but not the execution. The originals were WAY more fun.



In fact, I'd go a step further and argue that I like the movie versions the best. Those white cuff rolls are on-point.

I did eight cuff swaps and one re-color for ccmcrazylightking, all done by hand with a sewing awl and waxed thread. The Yandle gloves started out as regular black/white Flyers gloves, then I recolored the logos to gold (Flyers 3rd/WC) using permanent alcohol-based markers that are designed for embroidery. 

Oh damn... those are cool as balls.

If you don't mind me asking, regarding the markers, what's the brand name du jour? Also, is there a white marker that's effective at covering other colors? I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist, but just curious.

As a Flames fan, I'm normally contractually obligated to hate everything Edmonton, but their gloves and pants are easily the best things about either uniform.

Also, I get that this is a Heritage Classic, but I'm a hard sell on any jersey the same color as Ebenezer Scrooge's pajamas.

I have nothing to substantiate my claim, but I've come to understand that it's basically the Nexus Team stick, which I've used before and firmly believe is absolute rubbish. Pity.

Whoever is behind the engineering of those sticks, along with the entire current Vapor line, should be burned at the stake.

I can’t do 87s but unreal deal on some mint XXX Lites here. One of the best twigs of all time imo:

https://sidelineswap...al_code=ZR91396

Damn. That was a good find. I'm a weakling who prefers flexes in the 70's, but even still, had they been left-handed, they would've been an automatic buy.

Ah shit, really? RIGHT after I drop $200 on an X5 Pro that I don't even like?

I hate you so much, Bauer.

I finally found a cage that works for me - Bauer Profile TI. It's lighter than the ReAkt with thinner bars and an oreo/i2 paint job; I can't even tell I'm wearing it on the ice. I know it doesn't look as good as the FM580 and Profile II cages, but I need to protect my jaw and the CCM FV1 shield gets too hot during summer. I found it on SLS for cheaper than the $90 retail price, but it's worth the investment if you need to wear facial protection. 

Appreciated your thoughts on this. I took a puck to the mouth last Friday, and having officially entered my late 30's this summer, I've decided that I'm finally completely over getting hit in the face below my visor. Admittedly, I sprung for a Tron visor/cage combo after several regulars at the rink sung its praises, but it's good to have options to fall back on in case that one doesn't work out.
