I recently picked up a beautiful new black and purple M11 Cascade Sports helmet courtesy of the guys over at Cascade, so of course I was excited.  But when I came to find that there were added surprises thrown in, I almost lost it.  I now own one of the best looking box lacrosse helmets on the planet, and I’m not even very talented!  Seems about right.

I went with black simply because it’s de rigeur in box to wear a black helmet.  4 of 9 NLL teams agree, and that’s almost 50%.  Good enough for me, as I’m a majority rules kind of guy.  Not really, but it’s a great excuse.

Basic, black, beautiful.

The purple accents were requested as a little nod to the Creator’s Game, and the Iroquois Nationals.  I could never play for them (I’ll simply never be good, or Native, enough) but I love supporting the original gangsters of the game.  So color me impressed when I got some complimentary helmet stickers from the guys down in Wesley Chapel, FL, ZimaGear.  They brought a little bit of yellow into the helmet, added in some more white for contrast and even found a unique place to tuck a custom yellow and purple LaxAllStars.com logo.

Basically, it made my week.  And now, without further delay, my beautiful new box helmet.

BOOM!

Yeah. In love.

What have we here? SICKNESS!

The silver chrome OTNY/STX mask only makes it sweeter.
