[quote Dpperk29]Ben's mask is pretty cool, but as far as tributes to fans go, I am partial to Clarkson's Tim Potters Helmet (http://www.bonesaw.org/features.php?mode=view&id=11). Maybe it is just because I am on it... oh well.[/quote]
But it's such a hideous mix of green and yellow! :-P

I hadn't seen Scrivens' helmet before. Wow! I love it!

For fans in the stands, goalie helmets are an inside joke not shared with them unless they brought binoculars. Too often the intricate artwork can only be seen up close and even then you may need a decoder key to understand if that's Pamela Anderson, the current girlfriend, or a figure from Nordic mythology. A hawk looks a lot like a crow. Bird eyes sometimes look like Buckeye award stars. At the least, the McKee helmet (and Scrivens') insures there's a big C on the front or sides. And the Spiderman design can be seen from a distance.

Was there ever a study of whether an extra pair of eyes on the front of a helmet distracts shooters? Or steals the shooter's spirits?

Let's hope the NHL doesn't try to stamp out this one vestige of individuality. All we've got left are hockey goalie helmets and soccer goalie jerseys. Maybe also the diversity of sponsor logos on NASCAR driving suits.

Find 3 more candidates and we will have a good off-season poll. :-P

This reminds me of those fluorescent crayola crayons that I had as a kid.

I voted for McKee's, though. I don't really like the amount of white on his helmet, but I have always liked the bear blended over the cage. The ivy wrapping around the "C" is the creative touch that put this helmet over the edge for me. [/quote]

I like that as well. For that reason, Andy Bandurski's (sp? too lazy to look it up) might be my favorite. As I recall it was very close (except for color, of course) to the bear helmet that Andy Moog wore for the Bruins and then Dallas. McKee received instruction from Moog, so perhaps that's why his helmet was a similar concept.

Some Hawaiian shirts are that colorful when dyed. (Well, almost) They are sewn and worn with the bright side in, and what shows through to the now-outside is quite pleasing.

Campos plays for Team Crayola?

Of course not. He's a soccer player.
