I was curious if team gloves all have to be the same color, our team colors are black, red, and white. Most of the gloves our players use are black or a combination of black and white. I was wondering if I could use a pair of gloves that were red and black, since they are our school colors.

What does the rule book say?

Or what does Syracuse do ....

Cue Richard Dawson..... "Survey SAYS!!..."

All players on a team must wear gloves of the same dominant official team color unless safety reasons require a different color glove to be worn. Specialized goalkeeper gloves may be of any color.

The italicized part is a new addition this year. I haven't seen many of these specialized goalie gloves, except the ones a few years ago that had the wings at the cuffs. (I wonder how many shots were ever stopped with those?)
Perhaps Warrior is introducing LAX goalie gloves that look an awful lot like a hockey goalie catch glove, but will try to get around this rule by calling them lacrosse gloves...

Note: The goalkeeper may wear football pants with or without pads, but he may not wear ice hockey goalkeeper’s gloves.
