Rocker U

FASHION DESIGN 101:

Course Description:
Here is where you'll see the skinsuit designs worn by various countries & clubs. In order to be a truly expert 'spotter', pay attention to your favorite skaters' goggles (if any), boots, helmet, gloves, and tips (see Rink Speak 101 for definitions). All of these things are very unique to each skater!

NOTE: The skinsuit designs change from year to year - the following photos are from the 2009-2010 season, and will be updated whenever new photos become available!
