Beautiful and original 1981-82 Toronto Maple Leafs Cooperalls worn by then Leafs captain Darryl Sittler . Cooperalls are a type of discontinued ice hockey equipment made by hockey manufacturer Cooper . They consisted of a girdle with built in pads that wore snug to the body . Over the girdle is a shell , which came in two sizes : a traditional looking hockey pant (down to the knee) or a long pant (down to the ankle) . The long pants became synonymous with the name Cooperalls and were worn in place of hockey shorts and did not require leggings . Cooperalls were the standard for youth hockey players in the early 80s . Cooperalls were worn by all NHL teams during the 1981-82 pre-season . All the teams had the choice of whether to continue wearing them for the regular season . They were first used professionally by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1981-82 NHL season . The Hartford Whalers  wore them for the 1982-83 NHL season . Following considerable criticism and concern for player safety , the NHL banned the use of long pants. However , the girdle and short shell design is still available from some hockey manufacturers . These Cooperalls were worn by Sittler in the 81-82 pre-season . They have his number 27 written on the inside of his pants as shown in the scan. There is also an " L " for large pants right next to his number 27 . They show good game use ! A very rare Toronto Maple leafs collectible and comes with LOA !
