Top Shelf Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The Buffalo Sabres star came to Bishop with a design idea for theOlympics that included a caricature of Uncle Sam rolling up hissleeves. Bishop made it come to life with splashes of the Olympic logo,patriotic sayings and vibrant colors.http://www.thetimesh...esigns-on-masks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It looks good, except for ol' Sammy there. He looks like a product of Big Dogz Ink. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Is Uncle Sam wearing the same outfit that Apollo Creed wore to the ring before his fatal fight against Ivan Drago?

Saintsfan Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Don't show that to Glenn Beck! Kind of has a Communist mash up feel to it. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The gold is a nice, if overly bold, touch.By the way, Uncle Sam's tattoo seems understated for a guy who wears a flamboyant flag suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Revolver Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I like that he's holding the Olympic torch in his hand as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I like that he's holding the Olympic torch in his hand as wellSo in short, Ryan Miller is paying homage to both communists and Hitler.

Korbyn Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The gold is a nice, if overly bold, touch.I agree. I chuckled a little bit to myself when I saw that gold ... But I guess there is not a color for fourth ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I was trying to see the other side of it, looks like an eagles talon, great design though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I still think it was awesome that Richter's mask seamlessly fit in with the team USA garb:Of course Miller still has a cool mask, but it's a different kind of cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Saw this earlier, but never made a topic. I really like this, it has a bunch of symbols, like the Canada logo(which I like.)Also, idk if Miller has this on his helmet now, but is the clover leaf a throwback to Jim Craig's mask 30 years ago for Lake Placid? @MichaelDanger19Â | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Not bad. I wonder if he had to get permission from the IOC and VANOC to use their logos and the torch design. Both organizations have been very aggressive about that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yeah... this mask screams, "Watch me get lit up in the first two games and go down as one of the worst goalies in Olympic history." It's either that or he'll blow out a knee and never play hockey again. I get that bad karma feeling to this mask and the unlucky soul who wears it. Maybe he'll just get a splinter in his butt sitting on the bench prior to the game and never see action because his butt gets infected.

Glover Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I kinda like it...seems a little too cartoony for the Olympics I think though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Personally, I love it.(not shocked that it's unpopular on a Canadian site) Can't find a good photo, but I really liked Ray LeBlanc's helmet in '92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demondg1 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 And the other side:The mask would have been 100 time better if they had repeated the eagle on both sides IMO. The Uncle Sam is just way too cartoony for my tastes. Doesn't seem dignified enough for an event as big as the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I agree, too cartoony for the Olympics, and I chuckled a little at the "Miller Time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin20 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 The biggest problem with this side is that instead of saying "don't tread on me" it just shows "tread on me". Seems like a bit of an oversight to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
