Bad, Bad Idea

I know this is pretty old, but it does deal with the goalie position in hockey.
From TheStar.com:

Now a group of influential NHL players that includes New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, Dallas's Marty Turco, Detroit's Dominik Hasek and Edmonton's Dwayne Roloson want the league's – and inevitably the Leafs' – uniforms altered again. In what would be a radical overhaul that might incite hockey traditionalists but surely gratify some of the league's cash-strapped owners, several NHL goalies have asked the league and its players union to consider starting a so-called Goaltender's Club. Revenue-generating initiatives for the club could include placing a corporate logo on the jerseys of the league's 60-odd goalies.

Are they serious? Are the goalies of the NHL going to start looking like this, this, or this? I hope this is just an early April Fools Day joke, and when next season rolls along, no one will remember a thing.

I agree, bad idea.

By the way, love your blog. I've loved masks and mask design for years.

Best all time: Jeff Hackett, Canadiens.

Personal favorite: Tim Cheveldae, Winnipeg
