Nike does the unthinkable for this fall.

Take a look at this screen grab. What do you notice?

Somewhere in that muck of maroon and cardinal is crimson. FINALLY.

Because adidas is dead to the men’s lacrosse program here in Bloomington, those crimson long sleeve and short sleeves are looking pretty sharp for next fall. There’s just something about a company offering your actual school color when they haven’t in the past that’s your day going. Unfortunately, that’s all Nike is offering in crimson right now. BUT, you have to start somewhere. You can peruse Nike’s other fall offerings here.

A requisite GIF reaction to Nike’s crimson shirt.

Oh the times they are a changing in Bloomington.

Anybody want really grow the game? The Dresden Braves are hiring:

Dresden is halfway between Berlin and Prague. Dresden’s team started in 2003 and is continuing to grow. At this time, we feel we are ready to support a coach. Many German teams are now hiring American, Canadian, or Australian coaches, and the pattern has so far been for the team to find a young coach a job in Dresden (typically teaching English as a second language, which any native English speaker is qualified to do in Germany), to find them an apartment, and for that coach to then lead the team on nights and weekends.

We are looking for an open-minded person to help us grow as a team, help us start a youth team, and who would like to experience European lacrosse. Our new coach does NOT need to speak German, as most of our players are fluent in English. Our new coach may also choose to be a player-coach if they like.

For more information about our program, please contact us directly. For more information on lacrosse in Germany and for independent information on the experiences of Americans coaching and living in Germany, please contact Kyle Hawkins, the president of the German Lacrosse Coaches Board at warriors.coach(at)gmail.com  Appointment: Part-Time
