Maybe I'm in the minority here, but Miller's mask looks amateur. The colors are all over the place and the drawing looks weak. I mean it's a cool pose, but it looks almost too cartoony. On the other hand, Nabokov's looks very professional, clean, and intimidating.
Oh, and the Nabokov link wasn't working, so I found this link. I assume it's the same helmet:

I deal with a lot of this stuff on a daily basis, and the Miller job is a much more difficult piece, there is absolutely nothing amateur about it. The majority of it is all freehand whereas Nabokovs is all tape and stencil.

I agree it's a much more difficult piece, but it's the execution of the freehand/airbrush that I'm talking about. Everything looks soft. It's odd because their portfolio shows they can execute better (Warwick Mask and Company).
But anyways, like I said, it won't affect Miller's performance. I can't wait to see Quick's mask!
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think simplicity such as Nabakov's design is the best when it comes to the Olympics. Otherwise, Miller's design is excellent for a hockey club, specifically the Rochester Americans.
That said, I like Naby's mask quite a bit more. It has more of a "classic" feel to it.
And do the goalies really NEED a separate mask for the olympics? A short series of games where 1 goalie will get most of the minutes?
It seems like a lot of fluff to me - I would almost like to see them use their NHL (or whatever league they are in) masks, even if it clashes with their team colors.
I don't really ever pay attention to this kinda stuff but since it is semi-related, does the mask that Quick wears for the Kings still have the goalie silouette in the sunset with palm trees? I know he wears the Knight looking thing but I wasn't sure if that was the one that had the sunset on the back of it or not. I thought that looked cool.

I don't believe so, I think that was last years mask. The one he wears has the "closed helmet" of the knight on the back I believe. . .

He should go back to that one! Or give it to me so I can put it on my desk with my Kings bobblehead and Stanley Cup with a Frolov puck in it. Or maybe I could just wear it at work.
