NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah I just saw it on my twitter feed. Looks amazing. ...This doesn't mean he's gonna be the starter, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Why would he waste money on a mask that won't leave the dressing room? Lol 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 I don't know if he picks the designs, or if he approaches Bishop with some ideas, or if all the credit resides in the artist who painted them, but... Jimmy has always excelled with the design of his masks. 3 puckloo39, Gordie Howe hat trick and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Agreed. His Ford Mustang themed mask from a few seasons ago was nice...Maybe there's a correlation with his masks, and his quality of play (the more he changes his masks the more inconsistent he is)? Well, there are quite some good designs in his "catalog" http://668d3eaa831be4d52f0d515f.ingoalmagazine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Jimmy-Howard-Detroit-Red-Wings-Mask.jpg http://allpuck.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Howard-mask.jpg http://kuklaskorner.com/assets/images/uploads/jhow2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LaRG2xY.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-lgXjANHy8/UsDZyqRL0hI/AAAAAAAAE90/JKbrT0Lq0Ac/s1600/1503922_10151838892147055_486366109_n.jpg Sorry, but not enough space to upload the images.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah Jimmy's masks are some of the best I've seen in recent memory. The designer is goooood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted January 30, 2016 Absolutely amazing design, some goalies really like to go over the top with their design but for whatever reason Howard hardly has any bad design. 1 LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very nice design, the guy who makes those things must be pretty well off! I can't imagine custom designs like that are cheap! Does anyone know if the inside of the helmet is generic or are they shaped to the specific player's head? Sort of like a seat for a NASCAR driver... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 If you want to talk about Howard's play, go in the GDT. Oops, there isn't one. Well, I'm sure there's another thread dedicated to the subject. Let's keep it to the mask in here, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
