The History of Multicolor Mesh: A Blue Collar Timeline
The following is the story behind the history of multicolor mesh, told in coordination with BC Lax co-owner Tim Weston. Blue Collar Lax is confident that multicolor Marc Mesh was the spark that led to all of the multicolor lacrosse heads we see today. They note, before Marc Mesh came out with multicolored netting there was only solid color stick heads offered by the manufacturers.

"Gonzo Mesh is a special coated mesh covered in a secret recipe of ingredients that makes it superior to traditional soft or hard mesh pieces in every aspect. Traditional mesh pieces bag out and become inconsistent and unusable in the elements. Wax mesh pieces tent to lost their wax coating in a rapid fashion."

Talking Pockets With UVA’s James Pannell
When James Pannell wasn't coaching kids, or playing a vicious game of P-I-G against his brother, Rob, he was getting peppered by questions from yours truly.

Video: Mesh Pocket Stringing by Krieg Shaw
From Krieg: My pocket is pretty specific to my stick, in that the head I use is wider than most, and really stiff. This makes it great to string with a deep channel, and keeps the head sturdy enough to not whip out when I shoot or pass.
