If you play lacrosse, you already know this: the culture is different. The work ethic is different. The attitude is different. And the way players express themselves — on and off the field — is completely its own thing.

Lacrosse culture has always had its own unique vibe — a mix of performance, confidence, and effortless athletic style. But in 2025, the off-field look has leveled up. Today’s players want gear that feels premium, performs well, and represents who they are both on and off the turf.

Here are the actual trends dominating lacrosse style right now.

Off-field style has always been a big part of lacrosse culture. The sport has its own attitude, its own swagger, and its own way of expressing identity far beyond the field. Over the years, lacrosse clothing has shifted from oversized team gear and loud graphics to clean, minimal, lifestyle-first apparel that blends seamlessly into everyday outfits.

When players shop for a lacrosse shirt, they’re not just looking for something to wear — they’re choosing a piece that fits their style, performs well, and represents the sport without being loud or over the top. Today’s best lacrosse tees balance comfort, quality, and subtle design — exactly the lane Goose It was built for.

Choosing the right size is one of the biggest factors in making sure your lacrosse apparel fits comfortably, performs well, and lasts season after season. Whether you're gearing up with a hoodie, tee, track pants, or active shorts, understanding sizing is key—not just for comfort, but also for reducing returns and keeping your wardrobe in top shape.

A great lacrosse hoodie is more than a warm layer — it’s a staple players rely on for travel days, cold-weather practices, team events, and everyday life. But not all hoodies are made the same. The right one should check three key boxes:

Fit. Fabric. Function.

At GOOSEIT®, we’re more than just a lacrosse apparel brand — we’re a team of designers, players, and enthusiasts dedicated to creating high-quality lacrosse clothing that represents the sport and its culture. Every hoodie, tee, and hat in our catalog is crafted with attention to detail, combining style, functionality, and authenticity.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how our in-house design process brings each piece to life.

Off the field, players want to look as sharp as they perform on the field. Gone are the days when lacrosse apparel was only functional for games or practices. Today’s players embrace a clean, versatile style that transitions from tournaments to casual hangouts, representing their favorite lacrosse brands along the way.

Here’s what’s trending in off-field lacrosse style and how GOOSEIT® apparel fits into the mix.

Lacrosse is more than a sport — it’s a lifestyle. From the field to the classroom to everyday hangouts, players and fans alike want apparel that reflects the culture of the game while staying comfortable and stylish.

As 2025 approaches, here’s a look at the top lacrosse lifestyle apparel trends, featuring GOOSEIT® hoodies and tees that every player, coach, or fan should know about.

Every lacrosse player knows that performance starts with the basics — and a quality lacrosse tee is one of the most essential pieces of apparel you can own. From practice sessions to tournament days, the right tee keeps you comfortable, durable, and looking sharp.

Here’s why every player should invest in a solid lacrosse t-shirt and what to look for when choosing one.

Why These GOOSEIT® Hoodies Are Must-Haves for Lacrosse Players

When lacrosse players aren’t on the field, a great hoodie becomes the uniform. It’s the go-to for travel days, early morning practices, tournaments, school, and everyday style. The right lacrosse hoodie should be comfortable, durable, and clearly represent the sport and culture.

The National Lacrosse League (NLL), North America’s premier indoor lacrosse league, faced an unexpected delay to the start of its 2025 season. A player holdout over contract terms and league conditions brought the sport to a temporary standstill, highlighting growing tensions between the players’ union and league executives. While the situation tested relationships, it also underscored the sport’s rapid growth and the evolving expectations of professional lacrosse athletes.

Every lacrosse team has its jerseys — the on-field uniform that shows who you play for. But what about the gear that shows who you are?

At GOOSEIT, we believe team identity doesn’t stop when the game ends. That’s where lifestyle apparel comes in — the hoodies, tees, and everyday gear that connect players, coaches, and fans long after the final whistle.

You’ve got your new GOOSEIT® gear, soft, clean, and built with that perfect fit. The last thing you want is to ruin it after a few washes. Taking care of your lacrosse apparel the right way keeps it looking fresh, feeling great, and lasting season after season.
