I am not sure how to post just a picture but look at the gloves Syd wears in the photo in the article. They are longer and made of leather. I have read an article a few years back asking about the leather gloves and it was stated that it spreads the impact out better, but the issue is wetness and players need to use 3 or 4 pairs during a game.
