UNC Joins The STX Family

September 23, 2009 / Lacrosse Playground /

STX has just announced on their fan page that the University of North Carolina has paired up with one of the most revered equipment companies in the game, STX. STX was kind enough to share the first specs of UNC gloves (K18) for LPG.

Stay tuned for more pics of UNC pads later in the week. Also, how do you feel about UNC joining STX and what are your thoughts on the gloves?

    Horrible Carolina Blue. UNC belongs with Brine.

    I think it is awesome that more of the ACC schools are switching their preferences as far as equipment around. I wasn”t really a fan last year of UNC’s brine equpiment, and I think they’ll look alot more heavy with STX, now I just wish Virginia would drop Gait/dB

    Kind of blah, compared to last years King II’s.

    They don’t look as good as their Brine Silos. Their Silos were amazing. Th UNC Logo also looks kinda weird on that glove seems warped.

    2/10 looking
    9/10 glove itself K18 do look mad comfy though

    I’m pretty excited about STX teaming up with UNC. There is almost exclusively Brine/Warrior down here in NC. Maybe this will bring some competition for equipment to the area. As for the gloves, not a huge fan. They have some work to do with the Carolina Blue
