I think most were a matte (flat) finish, but there were also red and white, which I think were glossy. I can't think of any other colors that were factory for those stripes, but I'm sure that I'm missing some. Photobucket sucks

The original hockey stripes had a semi gloss shine to them. They are not like the electrical tape finish that is currently reproduced.

Depending on your point of reference they could be called Semi flat, matte, satin, or semi gloss. Certainly the glossiest version of the repops are TOO glossy! But the 'flatter' version looks pretty sharp.
