Im sure the pro goalies making 3 million a year are worried about a few thousand bucks for a graphic they designed..

You're missing my point. I'm not talking about getting paid for designing a graphic, but getting paid for branding yourself. Essentially if you tie something recognizable to yourself that is sellable you can make more money on doing nothing but playing in your gear. If you have a design on your pads (whether you design it or pay someone else to design it) and get the licensing for it, you can agree to a contract with a gear manufacturer where you take a cut on every pair of pads sold with that design on it. Imagine if guys like Luongo, Brodeur, Lundqvist, Price, Fleury, etc. did that. That money adds up.
