The Best Custom Goalie Pad Designs of All Time
Welcome to the goalie pads idea generator. We’ve built this, with virtually any type of color combination, for you to help decide what color scheme you should use on your goalie pads. If you’re stuck on design ideas for goalie pads, check out what a few others have done.
The Goalie Pad Idea Generator
I remember growing up, I would spend hours thinking of different goalie pads design ideas. Before anybody ever dreamed of designing custom goalie pads over the internet, I was trading cards with my friends for whoever had the best looking gear that year. I spent hours drawing out my dream set of goalie gear day in and day out.
We’ve been thinking about doing a custom goalie pad designs article for awhile now. This is by far the best part about playing goalie, and the reason many get into it.
In recent years, the graphics on goalie pads have gotten more and more advanced. Bauer can literally print anything you want on a set of pads. Brian’s has been cutting custom designs onto their gear for as long as anybody can remember. Vaughn is no stranger to custom graphics. Goalies can put any color they want on a set of CCM or Warrior gear. It’s the greatest era of custom goalie gear, maybe ever.
When you’re a kid, and even while you’re still playing, thinking about coming up with inspiration for your next custom goalie pad graphic is one of the more exciting aspects of the sport.
Seriously. Shutouts are great. Winning is great.
Having the best looking pads tops everything.
We’re going to consider this a “Hall of Fame” of sorts, of custom goalie gear.
If you want to order Bauer’s Digi Print pads, you can do so using Goalie Monkey (our choice) or Pure Goalie.
These are the Best Custom Goalie Pad Designs of All Time
Full disclosure, if you’re looking for custom goalie gear, this is guaranteed to be the best place to start. We’re going to do our best to update this article with as many different custom goalie pad graphics as we can find.
If you think you’ve got a winner, feel free to send us a DM over on Instagram @goaliecoaches or contact us here on the website.
Devan Dubnyk’s new Colorado Avalanche pads
These are sick. A tribute to Bauer Gear of old, Dubnyk looks good in Avs Maroon and Blue.

Mitch Gillam, custom Bauer Digi Print gear
I love these. The semi vintage Cujo look never gets old. Bauer, if you’re reading this, please don’t bring back the “Supreme” graphic from these days. It looks much better as a throwback design.

Tommy Napier’s Pads for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Bauer Hyperlite
These might be your basic Hyperlite pads, but I do really like the simplicity of these. I really, really wish there was a goalie out there who would consider doing a custom pad design with the white inverted to a color, say in this case, if the white were black and the rest yellow.

Mock set of Seattle Kraken Bauer Pads
Ok, these are awesome. I often find myself dreaming of a certain goalie joining my favorite team, just so we can get better taste in goalie gear on the ice.

Hartford Whalers Concept
Well, this was actually a thing. Not sure if these are pad wrapped or actually printed, but they look great. Obviously, they’re not that creative just being green and white, but the throwback jerseys have to be mentioned here.

These were awesome. There was a time when Vintage Goalie Gear was all the rage and it’s sort of fell by the wayside.

Ok yes, these aren’t the most creative.. but they look sharp. To be fair the article does say custom, so if they’re custom gear they can be featured here.

Vegas has one of the more interesting logo concepts in the NHL right now, so it makes total sense that a custom graphic goes perfectly with gear.

Old School Feel
The only thing that could’ve made this set better is the old school Brian’s Logo instead of the traditional “B Star”.
