President Obama's Custom Lacrosse Stick

August 18, 2009 / Lacrosse Playground /

We all know President Obama is a huge basketball fan, but what about lacrosse?

Five-time defending NCAA Women’s DI lacrosse champion Northwestern will be headed to the White House this fall for their annual trip celebrating NCAA champions. So Brine, which is a sponsor of Northwestern, produced a couple of sticks for the first family.

The custom stick for President Obama (pictured below) is a Brine Clutch head, featuring a patriotic red, white, and blue design. The head comes with the president’s name, Barack Obama, printed on the outer edge of one sidewall. Meanwhile, the handle is a custom “Presidential” SwizzBeat, which is anodized black, featuring a red, white, and blue pattern.

Also created was a women’s stick (below), a Brine Amonte head in Northwestern colors, sitting on a Lithium handle. Who knows, maybe one of the first daughters will pick up the sport.
