A sneak peak at some custom equipment and apparel you'll see college teams donning this spring.
1.
Defending NCAA champion Yale will brandish Under Armour sticks, featuring a Command 2.0 head on a Meso shaft. The shaft is engraved with the 2018 championship date and location, as well as the names of players, coaches and staff.
2.
The Cascade S helmet — with its superior breathability and a new face mask that ensures the ball is never out of sight — comes with a matte navy finish and a prominently featured arachnid logo for the Richmond Spiders. It says “DTC” on the face mask, with the logo repeated in red on the custom chinstrap.
3.
STX unveiled its custom Florida Gators Exult 600 alloy handle at LaxCon. It has a skinnier feel with a 7/8-inch diameter. Also shown: a custom-strung Crux 600 head with a ProForm pocket and yellow leathers and crosslace.
4.
Syracuse will continue wearing the metallic orange Cascade S introduced during last year’s ACC tournament. In addition to the custom finish, the letters “HHH” appear on the face mask and the S logo in orange on the chinstrap.
5.
Maverik launched its Rome product line last June. The centerpiece is the Rome glove. Among features: an anatomical profile that fits close to the hand for optimal freedom of movement, materials that harden on impact for maximum thumb and index finger protection and a magnetic cuff. Custom-made with school colors and logo for Albany.
6.
Division III juggernaut RIT is well-equipped with the Maverik Rome arm guard and arm pad, with impact dispersion technology and body heat activation providing a contoured fit. Like the Rome glove, the arm guard is soft to the touch but hardens on impact, protecting the dead-arm zone of the bicep.
7.
UNC’s custom STX Surgeon 700 glove features a second-skin palm with fewer stitch lines for more control and DFLKT carbon plates on the thumb for enhanced protection.
8.
Maryland is rocking Under Armour Highlight cleats that wrap your foot in a “second skin” to provide support. A foam foot bed conforms to your foot’s exact shape, eliminating slippage and reducing cleat pressure.
9.
The Golden Domers of Notre Dame wear a custom lid worthy of the nickname with the Cascade S in a mettalic gold finish, with “Irish” on the face mask and the iconic ND logo on the chinstrap.
10.
The Terps show their true colors with a tonal Maryland flag print in the numbers and on the kilt of their Under Armour ArmourFuse Showtime uniforms.
11.
Nike’s custom Untouchable Speed uniforms for Ohio State and Oregon both feature four-way stretch woven fabric to maximize freedom of movement and minimize moisture absorption. The jerseys are woven in a lightweight twill pattern. Scope out the sublimated Oregon Duck feather pattern on the side panels.
