I might be a dumb fuck but the gloves Gil is showing there look the same as the old ones?

If there is a change coming I welcome it. It’s overdue

That Haymakers is full of shit. It’s the exact same glove with a new logo. Made in 2021

Also the quality on the screen printing is shit. The logos have been peeling off during the fights

Why is it so hard to have good gloves for the fighters protection? It’s not 1998

How is that an improvement? Pardon my ignorance

It’s not. Need to hookup with Onyx or Hayabusa and get something figured out.

Pride had it figured out over 25 years ago

Literally why wouldn’t they just switch to this style? Has a reason been given or is it just one of those things that make all the sense in the world but still never happen for reasons never explained?

I think it’s like a stubborn hard headed ego thing left over from the Pride vs UFC days. Can’t admit Pride actually had the gloves right & switch to them.

Curved gloves make it harder to read advertising/logos. We all know the UFC is going the way of F1 and is looking for every available space to promote brands. ‘Prime Hydration Station Corner Fitness Zone’ anyone?

I bet we’ll see Wrestlemania logos on the gloves within 5 years.
