“I was at dinner with the guys from Bauer before the season and we talked about some old classic designs and I liked Cujo’s a lot,” Andersen said in a text message to InGoal. “Plus my dad once wore that pad, so I asked if they could do that for the outdoor game since they started printing the pad anyway.”
The article goes on to detail the digital printing technique used, thought to be the first of its kind which allows for a retro look on brand new equipment.
As you can see from the photo above, CuJo wore a design like these for the Leafs, but these days, he has newer equipment for those times when he gets back in the net:
