Simple is sometimes the best way to go about a mask design, especially when it plays well with the set of pads and gloves. This is the way Jake Allen went about it for his Montreal Canadiens mask this season.
A white helmet with the Canadiens logo on the crown seems basic, and it is, but it's the thick red and blue stripes on the sides that at first glance seem standard. But when you take a closer look at the detail from Sylabrush, the glittering red and blue really pops and adds another aspect to it that sticks out.
The fleur-de-lis-like design on the chin in what looks almost like neon red and blue looks great, and there are more personal designs on the back plate for nice touches as well. We get it, it's simple, but the way the mask pops with the simplicity of his leg pads, blocker and trapper makes it all look really, really clean.
