The Nike Fast Break uniform is the company’s lightest lacrosse uniform, according to the release, and Syracuse will be the first team to wear it. SU’s new jerseys are white with ‘Syracuse’ written in orange letters across the chest, and have navy blue numbers with orange trim.

The jerseys also include an image of SU’s Hall of Languages façade on the shoulders. The program’s motto of “head, heart, hustle” is located inside the collar.

The Nike Fast Break uniform features a sleeveless jersey to improve shoulder mobility. It is 17 percent lighter than the current Nike Vapor jersey, and the new shorts are 8 percent lighter than the present Nike Vapor uniform’s.

Underneath the jersey, the Orange will wear short-sleeved, navy blue Nike Pro Combat Hypercool SS Fitted Crew baselayers, which add to the uniform’s breathability. Jersey numbers are also included on the sleeves.

To accompany the jerseys, Syracuse will debut helmets that resemble the football program’s helmets — with the block “S” logo in chrome orange on the sides, and the navy blue fading into orange on the helmet.
