Does anybody know what precisely was used on David Warner's costume for the shoulder pads? I know, "hockey gear", but that hardly narrows it down. Sark has a unique shape to his shoulder pads that I have not been able to I.D. yet. Anyone here know? Or has a friend who might know? At least the brand would be a good start. Thanks.

Yeah, it is a bit slow here.

I am not 100% sure, but you may want to look into vintage Cooper hockey pads.
As in the brand is Cooper.

If it isn't 100% screen accurate you may be able to boff it a bit, as they look similar.

Hope that helps.

I just remember my cousin's old hockey set and how much it looked like Tron when I was kid. Years later I found out they actually used hockey components so it sort of just stuck with me. His was a Cooper chest with attached shoulder pads deal.

Depending on your level of commitment, I'd almost assume you could fashion nearly a similar style from any vintage set from the early 80s that hits close. It is more about the color scheme (and Sark's helmet) than the size ratio of the pads.

I'll bop around the web a bit, see if I can find anything definitive.

I agree completely, probably even with the items you didn't mention. I've been a fan of TRON since before the movie was even released, and Legacy pretty much just wrecked it for me. An overall bad movie that didn't even look like a TRON film. I have not seen the Solo movie nor do I intend to as it just looks too lame, and especially after the horrible Last Jedi excuse for a Star Wars film. Same goes for all the recent Marvel rubbish that's been coming out of "the machine". Disney seems to be more about cash cows lately than making good movies. Yet, fandom still continues even if focusing on only the "good" movies in a franchise so I am surprised how inert the "main site" dedicated to TRON seems to be, considering current activity on other sites even more obscure than TRON. And it's sad that Disney is building more Legacy-themed attractions in their parks (i.e. Lightcycle Power Run in Florida) instead of representing the better movie. A classic lightcycle VR attraction similar to Star Tours except single-occupancy "seats" where riders actually battle against each other in a last-man-standing lightcycle grid complete with recognizers overhead if you look upwards would be WAY cooler in my opinion, especially if the simulation included an ability to execute Flynn's escape for exploring bonus new content not shown in the movie. But Disney has lost focus and keeps regurgitating old franchises (except the best one) instead of producing original adventures or indulging fans with what they really want. (I went to Disneyland expecting to spend hundreds of dollars on TRON souvenirs in Tomorrowland only to find nothing, not a single one, not even a lanyard pin, not even anything from Legacy - zilch!) Walt is probably face-palming at what his enterprise has become.

Anyways, back to the quest of identifying what product was used by Disney for David Warner's shoulder pads.

I've got old Starlogs too, as well as the Cinefex TRON issues, and various other collectible publications from when the movie came out.  Believe me, I researched Sark's pads thoroughly in my attempts to i.d. them before asking for input here in hopes somebody might know someone who knows a friend who was involved in the original costume construction and can still recall what product was used. I know it's a long shot - I can't even remember what I ate for dinner last week, so something I did 40 years ago?  Nope.

Well, this thread is the only one that's been active here for roughly a month (most of the "recent" threads here are several months old or more).  There isn't much point posting in old threads, and in fact "necro-posting" is often frowned upon at forums.

I have seen the Pakistan player Muhamad Hafeez he wore a pad and it's looking great by stuff.
