AndrewG70 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 If you look at some of the photos, you can clearly see that the pants used during the All-Star game are NOT the standard shells with built-in padding. Instead, they are more or less covers that fit over the players' existing pants. Look at this photo of Jeff O'Neill. You'll notice the bottom of his Hurricanes pants showing.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 They did that during the Olympics last year too. I remember see a photo of Mike Richter sprawled on the ice making a save and the blue fabric was riding up and you could see the Red Rangers pants with the white and blue stripes.--Roger "Time?"

STL FANATIC Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 is this because players like their pants so broken in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 i play hockey on a club travel team and a high school team. the reason that they have shells instead of different pairs of pants is because its less expensive and most of the players just wear gertles with the shell on top. plus its is easy to have shells for multiple teams, like in my case.

IronChefShark Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 its definitly a good idea. especially since the only color I ever see pants being sold in is black. why not have team colored shells to cover the black pants so each team could have a different look. a high school with the colors cardinal and green would look terrible with black pants if there is no other black in the uniform. give the unis some consistent flow and be cost effective.

Puckguy14 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 They've been doing that for awhile though. I remember Owen Nolan in the 2000 ASG had his Shark pants but with the North America shell over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
