Lacrosse uniforms buying guide: how to choose for your team

To buy lacrosse uniforms for a team, start with the right roster: men's and adult, women's and girls', or youth. Then choose a stock, reversible or home-and-away package, plan legal numbers, and send a roster with sizes for a quote. Shop custom lacrosse uniforms for men's and adult teams, women's lacrosse uniforms for women's and girls' teams, or youth lacrosse uniforms for youth programs.

Step 1: Men's, women's or youth?

ProPlayer keeps custom lacrosse uniforms in three collections, so start with the age and gender of your roster.

  • Men's and adult school and club teams. Use custom lacrosse uniforms. It compares Alleson, Russell and Juice packages, including stock, reversible, pinnie, single-game and home-and-away sets.
  • Women's and girls' teams. Use women's lacrosse uniforms. It compares Adidas, Alleson and Russell packages, including reversible, pinnie, sublimated and Primeknit sets.
  • Youth programs. Use youth lacrosse uniforms. It includes Adidas and Russell pinnie and reversible sets, plus reversible, single-game and home-and-away packages that also appear in the men's collection, so a program can keep one look across youth and adult teams.

Step 2: Pinnies and reversibles, or a full set?

Reversible and pinnie packages give a team two looks in one garment, which keeps the roster simpler. Look for reversible complete-game and pinnie packages, Alleson stock and Ghost reversible packages, Russell Freestyle reversible packages, and Adidas club pinnie and Finalizer reversible styles in the women's and youth collections.

Home-and-away packages give you two separate colorways. Options include the Home & Away Complete Game package, the Russell Freestyle Home and Away package, and Adidas Prospect, Bluechip and Showcase home-and-away or sublimated packages in the women's collection.

Stock styles start from an existing design. Custom or sublimated packages give you more control over the team's look and can print colors and graphics into the fabric. Compare the packages and ask for a quote on the style that fits your team.

Step 3: Shorts, kilts and fit

Boys' and men's teams typically pair the jersey or pinnie with shorts. Girls' and women's teams often choose a kilt, skort or shorts. NFHS high school rules require all players on the same team to wear bottoms of the same dominant color: shorts for boys, and kilts, shorts or pants for girls. Girls' bottoms do not have to be a solid color. Confirm the current rule with your state association, and record sizes carefully. For boys' high school play, the jersey must completely cover the shoulder pads, so size the top over the pads your players will wear.

Numbers and uniform color rules

High school lacrosse follows NFHS uniform rules, which USA Lacrosse collaborates on. Youth and club leagues may use a USA Lacrosse youth book or their own league rules, so confirm the current book for your season before you approve art.

  • Boys' high school (NFHS). Jerseys must be a single, solid color, with only limited contrasting trim. The home team wears white and the visiting team wears dark. Numbers must be centered on the front and back, at least 8 inches tall, and must contrast with the jersey. Duplicate numbers are not allowed. All players on the same team must wear shorts of the same dominant color.
  • Girls' high school (NFHS). Shirts must be a single, solid color, with only limited contrasting trim. The home team wears light jerseys and the visiting team wears dark. If both teams have similar colors, the home team must change or wear numbered pinnies of a contrasting color. Numbers must be centered, at least 6 inches tall on the front and 8 inches on the back, and a solid contrasting color. Legal numbers are 0 through 99; leading-zero numbers such as 01 are not legal, and duplicates are not allowed.

Because a high school game jersey must be a single, solid color, confirm with your association whether a reversible or pinnie meets that standard for your games. Many teams still use reversibles and pinnies for practice, scrimmage or as a contrasting option.

Sizing, timeline and a budget checklist

You do not need a finished design to start a quote, but a complete brief helps. Include the team name; whether the roster is men's/adult, women's/girls' or youth; the package you like (stock or custom, pinnie or reversible, home-and-away or a single set); bottom style (shorts or a kilt/skort); colors, logo, names and numbers; and a roster with sizes.

Start before the season so you have time to collect sizes, approve art and confirm number and color rules. Ask for the timing that applies to your order when you request the quote. When you budget, plan for a jersey or pinnie for each player, a short or kilt/skort, decoration (names, numbers and a logo), a second colorway or reversible if you need one, and a few extras if you want late adds or replacements covered.
