Why?

Why are so many people fascinated with goalie masks? It can't be the safety reasons, or the structure of the helmet. It simply looks cool. Growing up, I loved masks like John Vanbiesbrouck, or Mike Richter. They looked invincible.
Not only that, but it has personal meaning for those who wear it. Such as a son's initials, or a favorite former player, or as simple as a jersey number. Combine that with the team color and logo, and you have the perfect amount of Team and Self. No other sport give that freedom, except maybe basketball shoes. You will never see a football player with a picture of Yoda on the back.
So this is my tribute, to the masks past and present. From the familiar to the unheard. This is Mask's of Glory. (Anyone know a better name?)
