Lacrosse is the last of a dying breed. This is so because it is one of the only remaining sports where the players and coaches can actively style part of their uniform. If you could show some personality and stand out in every game you would want to do it correctly, right? Coincidentally, a lot of teams are competing to have equipment with the most personality or coolest design. Since there is so much competition and pressure to personalize, get it done right the first time. If you are purchasing your helmet wraps, make sure that you avoid these common mistakes:
DESIGN
Never ask a company to “design something nice”. Vague requests are usually met with disappointment and a lot of revisions. Be sure to share your ideas with the company and be open to feedback that they give. Also, in this process do not pay for a design. It’s often a trap to get you to commit first before actually seeing the design. Finally, never assume all wrap companies have the same capabilities. Be thorough in your research because different companies use different materials, have different designs and could limit techniques during games. Research is crucial!
MATERIALS
When going over materials, you’re always going to want more bang for your buck. This translates to “you get what you pay for”. Always be looking for the longer lasting materials. If most places you are searching have an average price and then you see an advertisement that has significantly lower price, do not go for it. Another important thing is to not ignore installation videos or reviews. Putting the equipment together is nowhere as easy as how they make it look.
KNOW YOUR BUDGET
Be realistic with your budget and your wallet will thank you tenfold. Also it’s important to be aware of league fees or dues, should the dues occur. If a specific budget has been determined, share that with the lacrosse companies so that in turn, they will grant your wishes and not offer you something you have absolutely no need for.
