scottywazz Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 It looks like he just painted Nike Skates white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Pierre McGuire and Gord Miller said it had something to do with the manufacturer and the name having to be whited out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Actually, I thought I'd heard they were Graf skates, and for some reason that couldn't be displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Actually, I thought I'd heard they were Graf skates, and for some reason that couldn't be displayed. They were Graf skates that were not the "official supplier brand" of the WJC or IIHF and the player was told to cover up the brand name. He did, but he kept right on going and painted the whole skate white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 They're Graf skates. Graf is not a sponsor of the event. They told him he had to cover the logo, and he decided to go all out and spray paint the skates. If you find images of Cory Schnieder from the WJC, he has tape over the Vaughn logo on his pads for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
