In all seriousness. I know the level you play at. You have seen first hand the quality of the product. I hope the product met or exceeded your expectations.

If you are playing and your improved your GAA by one goal per game because the gear you are using has elevated your game. Would a the graphic matter? I would really like some feedback, not only from you but from others as well.

Hope all is well.

Graphics are not as important to me as the colors.

I like the Vortek graphics, simple and basic. While I can not yet speak about the blocker, the trapper is top notch. The fact that it has a very basic graphic adds to the overall excellence of the product.


If that makes any sense.

While custom graphics are nice, the amount of work that can go into a set of gear can be astronomical depending on the complexity of the design. I think with the operation that Vortek has going on now and the low prices they have their gear at now, it would be impossible to offer graphics without charging a ton of money, and then it still may not be logistical to pull off if they don't have dedicated people to work just on creating the graphics.

The other thing to think about is that any custom graphic would slow down production for everyone else.

Spot on. They also add weight.

After years of worrying about colors, I've realized it doesn't matter. My next pads will be all white.

Marc lies!

I have custom graphics on my Vorteks.

An albino in a snowstorm, it's sweet.

They'll do the red eyes? Will they use sequins or puffy paint?

Albinos always close their eyes in the snow. It's true.
