Description
- The present application is a continuation under 35 USC §120 of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/862,832 filed on Aug. 25, 2010, presently under appeal, which itself was a continuation under 35 USC §120 of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/942,075 filed on Sep. 16, 2004 and which issued on Sep. 24, 2013 as U.S. Pat. No. 8,539,616. The contents of the aforementioned applications are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- The invention relates to a shirt for a hockey player, the shirt having gripping zones for keeping a hockey elbow pad in place.
- In many sports, players often wear protective equipment in order to avoid hurting and/or injuring themselves. For example, hockey players often wear shoulder pads, shin pads and elbow pads in order to prevent injury caused by physical contact with other players, hockey sticks, boards and pucks.
- In general, the protective equipment is worn over the player's undergarment clothing, which is often made of smooth materials. As such, during the course of a hockey game, the protective equipment may move in relation to the undergarment clothing, which causes the protective equipment to move away from their intended positions.
- When the protective equipment moves out of place, not only is it uncomfortable and irritating for the player, but it also means that the player may not be adequately protected until the protective equipment is moved back into its intended position. As such, not only is it distracting for the player but it opens up the possibility for the player to be hurt.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the industry for a hockey shirt for a hockey player that has gripping means for maintaining the hockey elbow pad in its intended positions, so as to alleviate at least in part the deficiencies described above.
- In accordance with a first aspect, a shirt suitable for being worn by a sports player is presented. The shirt comprises a torso portion having a head opening and a lower trunk opening; and first and second sleeves, each of the first and second sleeves comprising biceps, elbow and forearm portions and a gripping zone provided on one of the biceps, elbow and forearm portions, the gripping zone being made of a material having a coefficient of friction sufficient for preventing movement between the shirt and an elbow pad worn by the sports player.
- In accordance with another aspect, a method of customizing a shirt suitable for being worn by a sports player is provided. The method comprises: providing to a customer a shirt comprising first and second sleeves, each of the first and second sleeves comprising biceps, elbow and forearm portions; providing to the customer a plurality of gripping zones being made of a material having a coefficient of friction sufficient for preventing movement between the shirt and an elbow pad worn by the sports player; selecting a position on one of the biceps, elbow and forearm portions of the first and second sleeves for affixing at least one of the plurality of gripping zones; and affixing the gripping zone on the selected position.
- In accordance with another aspect, a hockey shirt to be worn by a hockey player is provided. The hockey shirt comprises: (a) a torso portion comprising a head opening for receiving a head of the hockey player and a lower trunk opening for fitting around a waist and hips of the hockey player, the torso portion being configured such that the hockey shirt is worn by passing the head of the hockey player though the lower trunk opening and then through the head opening; and (b) a pair of sleeves for receiving arms of the hockey player, each sleeve comprising: (i) an inner arm portion for facing an inner side of the arm of the player and an outer arm portion for facing an outer side of the arm of the player, the inner arm portion and the outer arm portion defining a biceps portion for covering a biceps of the arm of the hockey player, an elbow portion for covering an elbow of the arm of the hockey player, and a forearm portion for covering a forearm of the arm of the hockey player; and (ii) a gripping zone for gripping a hockey elbow pad worn by the hockey player over the sleeve, the gripping zone being provided at least on the outer arm portion and on at least one of the biceps portion and the forearm portion, the gripping zone having a coefficient of friction with the hockey elbow pad sufficient to prevent movement of the hockey elbow pad relative to the sleeve,
- In accordance with another aspect, a hockey shirt is provided to be worn by a hockey player having ahead waist, hips and arms, each arm having an inside portion, an outer portion, biceps, an elbow point and a forearm. The hockey shirt comprising: (a) a torso portion having a head opening and a lower trunk opening for fitting around the waist and hips of the hockey player, the torso portion being configured such that the hockey shirt is worn by passing the head of the hockey player though the lower trunk opening and then through the head opening; and (b) first and second sleeves, each of the first and second sleeves extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising biceps, elbow and forearm portions, inside and outer arm portions for facing the respective inside and outer portions of the arm, and first and second gripping zones provided on the biceps and forearm portions respectively, the first and second gripping zones being provided on the outer arm portion of the sleeve such that, when the hockey shirt is worn by the hockey player, the first and second gripping zones face a hockey elbow pad worn by the hockey player on the outer arm portion of the sleeve for protecting the elbow point of the arm, and wherein each of the first and second gripping zones has a coefficient of friction with the hockey elbow pad sufficient to prevent movement of the hockey elbow pad relative to the sleeve.
