About
We Take
Lacrosse
Serious.
(The tees, not so much.)
Jake's Lax started in a basement in the suburbs of a city that absolutely does have a high school lax team. A couple of us, some bad print proofs, a shared group chat of slogans we couldn't post on our real Instagrams. Here we are.
Chapter One
A Small Apparel Brand
For A Big Dumb Joke.
Here's the thing about lacrosse. It's fast. It's weird. It looks unhinged to anyone who didn't grow up with a stick. And the apparel — with maybe three exceptions — looks exactly the same as it did in 2004. Mesh shorts, giant cross-stick graphic, team name in a font from a CD-ROM.
We wanted something we'd actually wear off the field. Heavyweight cotton. Boxy fit. Real print quality. And slogans that sound like the thing the loudest midfielder yells in the huddle — not the thing the athletic director approves.
Every tee we print is something we or our friends said out loud at a tournament. We call it the house motto: Clean Balls Only. It's a joke, obviously. But it's also not. Dirty balls really don't fly straight. Long sticks really don't matter without clean balls. Loose balls really do win games. Locker-room humor that is, if you squint, also correct.
What we make
Four Rules.
01
Heavyweight only.
6.5oz minimum. Real cotton. Real stitching. No mystery poly blends.
02
Small runs.
When it's gone, it's gone. We print in small batches and move on.
03
Graphics that earn it.
No filler. Every back print has a reason to be on a shirt.
04
Made in the US.
Cut, sewn, and printed in LA. Milled in NC. We know the people who make our stuff.
House Motto
Clean Balls Only.
Three words. One dress code. On the field, off the field, everywhere in between.
Clean Balls Only
Loose Balls Matter
Respect The Balls

Slide Into The DMs.
We read every one. If we print yours, the tee is free and your name goes on the inside tag.
