Another noticeable glove and brand switch is Belgian's number one Vincent Vanasch (of Waterloo Ducks) changing to a Brabo lhp from TK lhp, just as Romain Henet did, as posted yesterday. The Brabo lhp is theoretically lighter than the already light TK glove with potentially greater rebound qualities (although might need quantified results to prove that) and Vanasch has been using Brabo leg guards and kickers for quite some time now, having used TK foam for all; kickers, pads and gloves, previously, especially in action for Belgium U21's and with KHC Leuven at the time (link)
And on a closer look, it seems as if very recently, he has made the switch to the Brabo rhp potentially (if I'm not mistaken, although knowing me I could be!!), with the slightly different but noticeable design used by Brabo, one of the original producers of the tube/blocking shape crossover.
Going by the very recent action clip posted yesterday, the larger surface area and black colour design is visible. This essentially would mean Vanasch is one of only a very few elite level goalkeepers at the highest levels of the game wearing full Brabo kit. Amsterdam's starter being one of the other main full Brabo foam users. No idea if Vanasch has full Brabo sponsorship but would make a lot of sense considering if so!
