It looks like Roblox has made a change to a pretty well-known item in the Hockey Mask face accessory. This is obviously inspired by the horror movie character Jason, who starred in many of the Friday the 13th slasher films that have come out over the years. He is well-known for the hockey mask he wears, which is usually pretty worn out and occasionally covered in blood!
We don’t know for sure why this has been changed, but it would seem pretty likely that it has been changed due to the possibility of copyright problems. The previous version looks exactly like the version worn by Jason in the movies. His mask has the red marks on it, and the holes are pretty much exactly the same.
The mask now has been changed to a lot cleaner looking version that is pretty much all white with some red markings along the border. The holes are also in a different spot, and it looks more like a generic hockey mask.
If you missed out on what the mask looked like previously, take a look at the before and after image below!
I’m not a big fan of how it looks now, but if it was due to copyright reasons then there’s not a whole lot they can do about it. I feel like they could have potentially kept it dirtier and closer to the original, but it’s hard to know how far from that mask they were required to go. I expect more of these copyright changes will be made in the future as Roblox becomes more popular and their IPO goes through.
