I anticipate the same thing here. When all pros wearing Vaughn will show up in the NHL with those pads, everybody will want a pair.

See I understand the whole RBK thing, because their graphic is rather "generic". You can't really going wrong with swooshes. This however, is geometerically a disaster. There is no flow to the graphic, and the little "hooks" at the end of the lines are just way out there. I honestly couldn't find a single nice looking combo.

my equipment back in the day.
they lasted me 8 years before I switched to rbk sr. last year.

maybe they did it to stand out in the crowd. I mean they know the pads gonna sell might as well make it look different from every body elses stuff. Im actually finding some neat combos with the colours but I will be asking for some colour grouping changes if I end up getting these. kinda a combination of design one and two from the hockey shop customizer.

Received these this past week from Goalie Monkey - should get to skate with it this weekend - I'll post a review soon if no one else does first.

Just from wearing it while I was adjusting all the straps the fit is excellent, very comfortable - very balanced feel.

I think I've gone through almost every website and not one store has a pair of Blue and White V2's.

It's crazy.

Does anyone know a store that might have them?

I placed my V2 custom order through Wesco Sports in CT, very good store IMO. They have a large goalie area in the basement and have many sets of pads and gloves in stock so you might want to give them a call...

[Smokey 32]

Did you try Dukes?

[runnersdialzero]

Yes, I've tried just about everywhere that is well known.

I guess the local Perani's and Players Bench had nothing ??

[Smokey 32]

I am not a huge Vaughn guy, but aren't those blue/white V2's with the flames in their custom in stock section?

Pardon the pun, but they are really smokin' !!!

Goaliemonkey has white/navy in the V2 and white/blue in the old school graphic.

I think they're actually Navy/Silver/Orange.

They are pretty cool though. I've asked them about that whole set. They still have the pads but not the gloves.

I'm seriously considering the Vintage pads from Goaliemonkey. Although my gloves are All weave blue/white.

Yeah, I hear ya. I think I'm going to get the Vintage V2's that are pictured on their site.
