NLL Rule 26.3… Has this changed?
http://www.nllfiles.com/2011rulebook.pdf
“26.3  SPONSORSHIP EQUIPMENT REQUIRMENTS – Only 
NLL sponsored equipment shall be worn unless prior 
approval by the League and only authorized Official NLL 
Suppliers’ logos/marks must be displayed on the 
player’s uniform and/or equipment, which also includes 
the shaft and head of the stick.   
 Any player or goalie not complying with this rule shall 
not be eligible to play until such time the player or goalie 
removes non NLL sponsored equipment and/or non 
authorized logos/marks. Game officials shall assess 
appropriate penaltie(s) should the player return and still 
be non-compliant.”

I understand what league sponsors want and expect from the equipment rules… But I’m of the opinion that pros should be allowed to choose whatever tools they want to use for the job (and at that level of experience, the equipment should be good enough that the pros would want to use it by choice). I watched a Chicago Machine goalie get ejected once for wearing an STX chest protector, but I think that instance was planned to let the backup play the second half (the backup’s large extended family was in town and they were making some noise in the stands).

Did you ever answer the last Bling Item about a new company making equipment?
