Another sighting is Canada's starter Kevin Pereira, wearing the new Obo chest pad. Kevin, who has also been involved with the full men's squad set-up recently, being around as a reserve goalkeeper for the World Cup qualifying tournament, is sponsored by TK as far as I know, so this is a ninja style sneaky observation. Obviously a lot of companies prefer to have their sponsees wearing all of their kit, but I really think they should stick with the bespoke approach as seen with Nick Brothers, George Pinner etc. so that the goalkeeper can still use equipment that fully corresponds to their own style of play, physioliogical differences, personal preferences and so on! The redesigned Obo chest pad has received good reviews, with a lot of the Australian internationals also using them, with its beefed up protection around the ribs and shoulders.
It's noticable here, by the padding protuding under the stylish tight fitting (not gym style though!) goalie top:
