Frank Nitti

At least the fans won't have to change much.

chanting “Nitty” sounds weird to me

Yeah i wonder why he spelled his name “nitty” with only one “i” when it’s really spell Niitymaki. Does he think we wouldn’t accept him if he had two "i"s in his name? I’m disappointed. It’s like when Nabby used to be “John Nabokov” lol.

At least if you spell Niittymaki incorrectly, you still have a chance of getting it right. You would have to lose 4 more letters though.

I can’t get excited or anything bout the mask. Just makes me miss Nabby more. Maybe when the season starts I’ll get over this blah I still feel bout him being gone.

Its OK...

Eh, nevermind. I think its kinda lame actually. Cartoonish but not intimidating. The Shark looks kinda slow and chunky, and not very cunning. I know, I know… it’s just a mask.

by Ronnibily on Aug 20, 2010 1:34 PM PDT reply actions  

Let me rephrase that. The Shark on the logo can beat up the Sharks on the side of the helmet.

the sharks do look a bit like Bruce in Finding Neemo but I do like the concept referencing him to gangster Frank Nitti. I checked out Arrigo’s other masks he’s done and I think he probably could have done a better job at making meaner looking sharks and i wish it was the full bodied logo on top not the triangle one

by red triangle on Aug 20, 2010 1:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

The shark on the logo isn’t armed with a tommy gun.

Nice Mask

viewing physical evidence that Nabby is no longer our guy is tough. Even though I KNOW he’s gone it just feels weird. I wish him well in Russia and am kind of glad I don’t have to see him donning say a Philly sweater.

Go Sharks.

technical details matter when it comes to art.

Eh I'd argue technical details come second to composition.

I really hate masks (or any art) cluttered with technically nice pictures that have no semblance of coherence or overall design. But to each his own.

As far as I'm concerned

This was the best Sharks goalie mask of all time:
