But now that I know that it's better for my "vision", it incentivizes the decision even more. Also, the hell is with that cage that Streit is wearing? It makes like no sense So, some of those later ones are pure custom creations, probably by Thomas himself. Most of the shells are Sportmask brand. Peruse their website and you can see their offerings, right now they have the original Mage (not pictured up there) and the Mage RS (Bruins Cup era) in production. Not familiar with what he's wearing in the white jersey Dallas pic. Our store is one of their dealers, if you are serious about getting one I can PM you more info. Our info is on their website along with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham_Clayton Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Andre Russell used a black bat in the opening game of the current Big Bash T20 cricket competition in Australia: Immediately after the game, Cricket Australia banned the bat from further use.

Wandell Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Remember when Burgess Owens wore a white facemask while playing for the Raiders. I assume he just brought the white facemask over from his Jets helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4One Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Kelly Hrudey wore one of the more unusual goalie helmets. He also wore a blue bandana underneath it. Even when he switched to a newer style helmet, the cage was different from the norm and it looked slightly bigger, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the black bat in that case was that the paint was getting on the white ball, which wasn't good for visibility and therefore safety. Cricket Australia allowed coloured bats, provided they were covered with a layer of extratec, which is a clear film you can put over the face of your bat to protect it. I'm pretty sure another player came out with a coloured bat that had extratec covering later in the tournament. I'd expect to see a lot more coloured bats next season in the Big Bash League.

ColeJ Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 In 2002 and 2003, Tennessee Titans kicker Joe Nedney managed to suffer season ending injuries early on in two consecutive seasons. This forced the Titans to reach out to the retired kicking legend Gary Anderson. In 2003, after retiring again after 2002, he agreed to kick one more year for the Titans, flying in from his home in Canada every Sunday, and and not even practicing with the team. He was pretty successful for an old man, and pretty memorable for his anachronistic get-up. Pairing a grey one-bar face mask with the decidedly 21st century appearance of the Tennessee Titans was a pretty unique deal. Turns out he had to pay a fine every game he played with the Titans, which was factored into his salary, because they simply didn't make one-bar face masks in navy blue anymore... He tried painting it, but the rubbery finish made it so it couldn't hold a coat of paint, so he went out on the field with the only grey face mask on the roster.

I forgot just how gorgeous that uniform is. I love the Stars' current look, but that is sheer perfection. (But it belongs in Minnesota, not Dallas, so probably a good thing that the Stars aren't using it now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Mark Kelso and his extra helmet cap to help prevent concussions. I remember it flying off during play at times and the referees clipping it back into place for him. Also...since when did Buffalo have a grey stripe running down the side of their SB era uniform pants? Thought it was a blue stripe outlined by red.
