After wearing Gait helmets for the past five years UVA has decided to make a switch to Cascade, specifically the Pro7.


The Wahoos will be sporting Orange helmets with an Orange visor, Blue chin, Orange/White chin strap and Blue decals on top of the helmet.

    i believe virginia was forced to leave gait due to the university’s contract with nike. they may be in stx or nike gear in the next year or two, same with Duke

    Ha wow I think is some of the best news in years for UVA lacrosse. I strongly believe that those ugly Gait helmets actually discouraged players from going to UVA. This is a big step for the program!

    Wouldn’t be surprised if this was the only season Gait supplied teams used Pro 7’s. Sounds like a temporary thing to me.

    Heard Gait had a defect with their helmets for this spring so they had to supply Pro7s instead
