Not a fan. Look like the pads a lego goalie would have, or the product of a Flames fan who had only two cans of spray paint and a limited imagination to use when customizing his road hockey gear.

Give me something with a bit more design and style.

Spoiler!

I think Elliott's kit looks great, but this is my favorite Kiprusoff setup.

Just wait until he has the actual red Jersey on...

His pure blue gear for St Louis was damn sexy.

I am unreasonably hyped for Elliott's debut with his new gear.

You must be suffering from a concussion caused by that awful beating you took over the weekend.

Those pads are great. The blue ones looked fantastic in St.Louis and these look even better (because: red).

I don't know what to say to the people who don't like them. These looks flipping fantastic and amazing. Best goalie gear combo in Flames history by far. I've always wanted a Flames goalie to pick this look.

The real question is, will it fool the shooter's eye enough to think they have an opening that isn't there?

Red means stop. Red is intimidating. The eye is drawn to red. Red is good.

Red also means fast. Lightning fast, and backed by real science.

For the goalie gear nerds in the house, his new setup is all CCM and not Bauer like his St. Louis stuff.

Possibly, but a solid color just looks really cheap to me. He just looks like a giant blob of red.

The photo is blurry, but the styling makes it look like he's feathered his hair a la Farrah Fawcett.
