Kit design sketches.

I have thought up of some design sketches for my kit design and so far they are looking good I think. When they are on screen I plan to experiment with the designs I choose to mock up.
I have annotated the designs by hand because I wanted to make sure my thoughts were noted just as I thought up of the design. If I left it and typed it up afterwards I would have forgotten certain parts about the design reasoning.

I traced around some existing pieces of equipment found via the internet, the sources can be found here:

• Helmet: http://www.icehockeyworld.com/products/Reebok-4k-Senior-Hockey-Helmets-.html
• Goalie Helmet: http://www.icehockeyworld.com/products/Vaughn-VM-9500-PC-Senior-Goalie-Mask.html
• Jersey - template used from the Boston Bruins template: http://puckdrawn.typepad.com/puckdrawn/2009/02/hockey-jersey-concept-templates.html
• Gloves: http://www.impactskates.co.uk/shop/warrior-burn-ice-hockey-gloves/prod_607.html
• Shorts: http://www.icehockeyworld.com/products/Warrior-bonafide-junior-hockey-pants.html
• Socks: http://www.puckstop.com/acatalog/nhl_sanjose_socks_resize.jpg

I simply used the pen tool around these pieces of equipment to give me a rough idea of the shape of the item.

Here are my sketches:
