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. Around 2010, a few manufacturers came out with some basic multicolor designs and they were obviously successful as we saw over half the heads available on the wall of a lacrosse store were multicolored by 2011.

Gear Review: Gonzo Mesh
We got a nice little package at LAS HQ a few weeks back with 4 preformed Gonzo Mesh pieces (2 white, 2 glow-in-the-dark).

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."

Stringing The Perfect Mesh Lacrosse Pocket
This pocket is perfect for CW, and it is now his go-to style of stringing sticks. He used to use a V or U shooter, but since that's no longer legal in college, CW had pretty much taken it out of how he strings sticks. Here is Connor Wilson's perfect mesh lacrosse pocket stringing tutorial.
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. This time around I asked James about his custom UVA dye, his pocket, and how he and his classmates adjusted to the new college rules, including the 2010 heads, and 2013 stringing rules.
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.
