Welcome to Old_Time_Hockey, where we curate the artifacts of fascination from the global game. Today, we are featuring a pinnacle piece of 1990s pro-stock history: the Bauer Supreme Armourfoam 2 in a size 14.5" Senior.
Known famously as the glove of choice for Eric Lindros, the Armourfoam 2 represented the absolute peak of Bauer's protective technology at the turn of the millennium. These aren't just gloves; they are a heavy-duty piece of the "Dead Ball Era" of hockey, built to withstand the slashes and battles of the 90s NHL.
The Lindros Connection: This specific 5-roll configuration and the extended, flared Armourfoam cuff were popularized by "The Big E." They are synonymous with 1990s power-forward dominance and are highly sought after by collectors of Flyers-era memorabilia.
Pro-Grade Armourfoam: Unlike modern lightweight foams, Armourfoam 2 utilized high-density inserts that provide a stiff, "tank-like" protection that many collectors and vintage players still prefer for its rugged durability.
Exceptional Palm Integrity: While most survivors from this era have dry-rotted or hole-riddled palms, the leather on this pair remains in excellent shape with very little use.
Late 90s Heritage: Stamped with the iconic "Supreme" branding, these represent the peak of pre-Vapor era Bauer design, known for a wider, more traditional fit and genuine leather materials.
Exterior: Black Leather / White Trim. Very good vintage condition with minor surface scrapes.
Palms: Original Leather. Excellent shape; no holes or thinning.
Padding: 5-Roll Backhand / Armourfoam Cuff. Firm and structurally sound.
Logos: Embroidered Bauer branding shows minor smearing/fading typical of this material age.
Interior: Natural yellowing present on the liner.
