Chrome makes an appearance at Homewood Field

We’ve seen chrome as a trend in lacrosse products lately. We’ve seen it appear in the Warrior Trojan helmet (as a prototype) and in the face masks for Cascade. Chrome made another appearance this weekend at Homewood field, as Hopkins’ Michael Kimmel and North Carolina’s Ryan Flanagan both played with chrome heads. This is the first we can remember a player going chrome for a major college program (please correct us if we are wrong – we know you will). So the question is, what do you think? Chrome heads can look pretty sick in person, but don’t always have the same effect from afar or on film (as you can see from the final picture below). We want to know — do you give a thumbs up or a thumbs down on the chrome heads?

Lacrosse Playground

In 2009, Adam O’Neill, Harry Alford and Thomas Alford launched Lacrosse Playground as the preeminent site for lacrosse gearheads. For years Lacrosse Playground provided lacrosse fans with tutorials and tips on how to string a lacrosse head, up-close looks at the gear the top players used and sneak peeks at equipment and uniforms before they were released. More than 10 years and millions of visits later, Lacrosse Playground has relaunched with a focus on storytelling. Our mission is to provide comprehensive coverage of the latest lacrosse news, share insights into the sports betting and fantasy lacrosse world and showcase the lifestyles and personalities of the sport of lacrosse through articles, videos and podcasts.
