Between the standard home and road, Throwback Weekend, Indigenous Heritage Weekend and Championship Series, PLL teams sported a total of 36 different uniforms in 2024. 

Which of those sets was the best? Here's how our PLL beat writers ranked all 36: 

36. Carolina Chaos (Throwback)

The block “State” across the chest was an ode to NC State’s D1 lacrosse program (1973-82). The white uniform’s simplicity with a red collar and a trio of red stripes on the bicep was aesthetically pleasing. The coolest piece of the uniform was the angry scorpion throwback logo on the shorts. Shane Knobloch’s overtime game-winner and Blaze Riorden’s 18-save performance against the Maryland Whipsnakes made these jerseys a success for the Chaos. – Hayden Lewis

35. Utah Archers (Championship Series)

Utah’s Championship Series jerseys were a simple look accentuated by a few specific designs. Unlike the Archers’ summer looks, the white jerseys read “ARCHERS” on the chest with the Utah state profile embedded within the “A”. The orange and blue neckline and the orange edge of the numbers completed a clean first look at the Archers repping Utah. – Zach Carey

34. Boston Cannons (Indigenous Heritage)

These special edition jerseys will forever be remembered as the jerseys worn during the Cannons’ 2-point party in Minneapolis. The Cannons became just the fifth team in pro lacrosse history – and the first since the Chesapeake Bayhawks on April 27, 2013 – to score five 2-pointers in one game.

33. Maryland Whipsnakes (Throwback)

While I wasn’t sure what the throwbacks would look like on television after seeing the images circulating on social media, I was pleasantly surprised with how the yellow and black “M” popped on the screen. I’m always a fan of clean, crisp uniforms that clearly display a player's last name and number. Hard to go wrong. – Adam Lamberti

32. Boston Cannons (white)

With Boston back across their chest for the first time since 2020, these white jerseys were the perfect complement to my favorite addition to the Cannons wardrobe since the merger: The navy blue helmet. Those big, bold, navy numbers on the front and back looked clean in the context of the full navy-white-white kit.

31. Maryland Whipsnakes (white)

The whites are classic Maryland. I appreciate the involvement of the stripes of the Maryland flag and the subtle twist on the University of Maryland’s white uniforms. And of course, these uniforms will always remind me of Levi Anderson’s overtime winner against New York in the semifinals this past year. – Adam Lamberti 

30. Philadelphia Waterdogs (Indigenous Heritage)

The Indigenous Heritage jersey across all eight teams was a style to remember. The Waterdogs went with a wolf on the front of theirs that had some of the best detail that I’ve seen in a PLL jersey. – Paul Lamonaca

29. Philadelphia Waterdogs (Championship Series)

Philadelphia's Championship Series uniform featured a black jersey with purple outlining on the numbers and white outlining on the word “Waterdogs.” The black base added a whole new colorway to Philadelphia’s look instead of the traditional purple and white that was generally seen during the regular season. A great combination for a unique event like the Championship Series, during which the Dogs reached the title game before losing to the Cannons in overtime. – Paul Lamonaca

28. California Redwoods (Championship Series)

If Gucci Mane’s 2009 hit “Lemonade” could be embodied in a jersey, it would be these — the bright, nearly neon yellow pops with the same energy as the song’s unforgettable keys. These jerseys became even more memorable because of their connection to Ricky Miezan making his uber-fun professional lacrosse debut in these bad boys. – Jerome Taylor 

27. Utah Archers (white)

Connor Fields eternalized the Archers’ white jerseys with his four-button-combo between-the-legs goal against the Whipsnakes in Boston. The Archers took their homecoming in Utah to heart with the state boldly labeled across the chest. The team logo citing the state’s high peaks filled out the front of the jersey while distinct orange numbers highlighted its back to complete a jersey steeped in references to the club’s home state. – Zach Carey

26. Denver Outlaws (white)

Denver’s white uniform is a simple set that worked well for establishing the new aesthetic era of Outlaws lacrosse. The white jersey was a staple in the MLL era, and these translated the MLL-style jersey into the PLL’s visual language. The little notes of gray and orange harken back to the Outlaws of old, while the central logo and Denver wordmark modernize the look for the new decade of pro lacrosse. – Topher Adams

25. Utah Archers (Throwback)

The Archers’ throwback porthole mesh jerseys stayed committed to the team’s appreciation of the Beehive State. The blue “U” on the front of the jersey included an orange “UTAH” within the lettering, with the unique throwback icon of an Archer on the shorts tying a bow on the old-school uniform. – Zach Carey

24. New York Atlas (Throwback)

The Atlas throwback jerseys are where the history meets the history-maker. In the throwbacks, Atlas attackman Jeff Teat broke the record for most points scored in a single PLL season. The Atlas boast one of the most highly regarded uniform collections in the PLL, but one jersey had to rank last in New York’s catalog. First isn’t always right, after all. (Spoiler alert: In the case of PLL jersey rankings, it just might be.) – Lauren Merola

23. California Redwoods (Throwback)

When your state’s silhouette is as iconic as California’s, you embrace it — and that’s what makes the Redwoods’ throwback one of the most unique in this year’s collection. The bold white California outline against the vintage green mesh jersey, plus the yellow contrasting sleeve stripes, make these unmistakably Golden State. But the star of this look is the shorts. A clean white base puts all the focus on the coolest element of this uniform: the shades-wearing bear heading to get some shots up in the Cali sun. – Jerome Taylor 

22. Carolina Chaos (white)

The Chaos white jersey is more complex than the naked eye can see. One of my favorite pieces of this uniform is the thick, checkered flag sleeve stripe on the bicep. North Carolina is a state infatuated with NASCAR, and the checkered sleeve is a great connection to the history of racing in the state. The front of the jersey is a tad crowded with “Carolina” across the chest and the scorpion falling underneath the lettering. The shoulder patch combining North and South Carolina with a scorpion stinger pairs well with the same logo on the shorts. Chaos fans can remember Riorden’s goalie goal against Utah in these beautiful uniforms. – Hayden Lewis

21. Boston Cannons (blue)

The best of Boston’s core rotation, these navy blue uniforms are timeless. These jerseys look modern while still conveying a 20-plus-year history.

20. Utah Archers (orange)

The Archers won the 2024 Cash App Championship in their orange jerseys, cementing it as the look of their second consecutive title. The jersey is largely the orange inverse of their white jerseys. Yet the Utah Sports Commission patch on the left sleeve and the blue numbering set it apart. – Zach Carey

19. California Redwoods (white)

White jerseys are a staple across sports, just as Wes Berg is on crease. Both embody reliability while delivering moments of flair and creativity that set them apart. The Woods’ white jerseys maintain a classic, clean look but add a playful twist like the bear logo cleverly replacing the “O” in “Woods.” Likewise, while donning the crispy Woods whites against the Cannons, Berg turned his dependable crease presence into highlights. With sensational catches and finishes, reminding us that even staples can still pop out and show you something. – Jerome Taylor

18. Philadelphia Waterdogs (white)

Another classic style by the Waterdogs with the white base and purple text highlighting the word “Philly.” The jersey also has the Waterdog logo right below the text that pops out with its shaded colors. What makes this jersey amazing is the way the purple chrome helmets matched with the entire outfit. These were a personal favorite of mine. – Paul Lamonaca

17. Denver Outlaws (black)

This is the signature look for this era of the Outlaws. When picturing Brennan O’Neill, JT Giles-Harris, etc., this is the jersey that comes to mind. It was the kit worn when O’Neill introduced himself to the professional game. O’Neill’s seven-goal night against the Archers was one of the signature moments in the league last season. It solidified O’Neill’s place in the pro game and announced Denver as a serious player in the PLL. The O’Neill era is defined by the signature black primary jersey, forever enshrined on O’Neill’s 1/1 rookie card. – Topher Adams

16. Utah Archers (Indigenous Heritage)

Utah’s Indigenous Heritage jersey is an awesome blend of the club’s striking colorway and a beautifully designed white, orange and blue indigenous arrowhead, distinguishing it as the best look the Archers sported in 2024. The Utah Sports Commission patch on the right shoulder and the orange highlights on the neckline and the sleeves bring home a look that fans will be clamoring to see again in 2025. – Zach Carey

15. Maryland Whipsnakes (black)

Another crisp jersey. I also love this jersey because it reminds me of the Whirlpool commercial (the founding partner of the Whipsnakes), and it's cool to see a PLL jersey in a commercial on ESPN. This jersey always looks right playing at Homewood Field. – Adam Lamberti

14. Denver Outlaws (Indigenous Heritage)

Denver’s Indigenous Heritage jerseys are a great spin on the primary black uniform. The unique bison logo is one of the best in the league’s lineup. In the Outlaws’ entire brand history, even before the PLL, there’s nothing quite like this bison iconography. The bison is a defining symbol of the American West, especially in the Rocky Mountains. There are still ongoing conservation efforts for bison in Denver and the state of Colorado. These Outlaws jerseys connect to an inseparable piece of Denver history unlike any other uniform. – Topher Adams

13. California Redwoods (green)

Like the patented question mark dodges Rob Pannell has used throughout his career to achieve lacrosse greatness, these jerseys are cash money. Fittingly, RP3 transformed into RP600 in this very combination, eclipsing the illustrious 600-point milestone during the Redwoods’ homecoming weekend. The deep forest green base, accentuated by subtle tonal stripes, provides the perfect backdrop for the sunshine-outlined bear, who, like the California sun, makes everything more vibrant. – Jerome Taylor

12. California Redwoods (Indigenous Heritage)

Rooted in Ojibwe tradition, Patrick Hunter's woodland art-inspired logos across the Indigenous Heritage collection steal the show, and the Redwoods’ bear is no exception. The icy white base provides a clean canvas for the vibrant lemonade-yellow pinstripes that infuse energy into the jersey. For balance, the green trim on the collar and sleeves introduces contrast and depth to tie together the natural tones of the Woods’ palette, making it pop on the field and reminiscent of an iconic fitted you’ll see in the wild. Finally, the sharp yellow lines within the inner part of the bear perfectly complement the pinstripes, making the jersey a true standout in the collection. – Jerome Taylor

11. Boston Cannons (Championship Series)

For the first time since joining the PLL, the Cannons wore red jerseys in the 2024 Championship Series. Like the speed of sixes, these jerseys felt fast. The bright red zipped around the field – from Colin Kirst’s post-to-post dominance to Matt Kavanagh’s overtime dramatics, these jerseys won February.

10. Philadelphia Waterdogs (Throwback)

Mesh jerseys always bring a sense of nostalgia when worn during a lacrosse game. These Waterdogs jerseys did an amazing job of staying simple when it came to the idea of a throwback. No modern logos; just the word “Philly,” with the “Y” underlining the whole word. The purple base made the white sleeve stripes stand out. – Paul Lamonaca

9. Denver Outlaws (Throwback)

Throwback weekend is the best aesthetic on the PLL calendar, and the Outlaws delivered with their first vintage uniforms. The jersey is defined by the font. That big cartoon cowboy “D” and the matching numbers are one of the most unique type sets in the league. The pops of orange are another great touch to make this the best set in Denver’s catalog. Outlaws fans will remember these as the first uniforms worn by Eric Law in his return to Denver. The 15-13 win over the Waterdogs in Fairfield helped kickstart the Outlaws' second-half push to the playoffs. – Topher Adams

8. New York Atlas (blue)

The baby blue bull jersey is a classic, and one in which Atlas rookie Connor Shellenberger tied the record for points in a professional lacrosse debut (eight). It might just bode well to wear the Atlas blues to your first day on the job, too. – Lauren Merola

7. Maryland Whipsnakes (Indigenous Heritage)

Every single jersey from Indigenous Heritage Weekend is so clean. While I love the snake on the front (like I do with all the mascots from this set), my favorite part is the details in the numbers and the patch on the back of the jerseys. The red, white, yellow and black colors all mesh perfectly. A 10/10 jersey in my eyes. – Adam Lamberti

6. Boston Cannons (Throwback)

The block "B" feels like a nod to the pre-spoked-"B" Bruins. In many ways, these jerseys represented the purest form of the 2024 Cannons. No flash. Pure grit. Previous Throwback Weekends had an ‘80s, retro style; this year’s edition went back way, way earlier, to an era that fit this team’s aesthetic perfectly.

5. Philadelphia Waterdogs (purple)

Philadelphia’s standard purple jersey helps bring out one big aspect of the entire design: the word “Philly.” The offset coloring also makes the Waterdog logo pop along with the paw print on the side of the sleeve. The three-color combo of purple, white and black outline creates a very clean and slick look. It's one of the best standard-set jerseys any team brought out this year, and Philadelphia upset the top-ranked Atlas in its season finale while wearing it. – Paul Lamonaca 

4. Carolina Chaos (red)

The Chaos’s red uniform isn’t flashy, but it's clean from top to bottom, with an emphasis on simplicity. The black helmets pair perfectly with the black shorts. The red overlay on the checkered flag stripe down the left leg of the shorts is the perfect accent to the red jerseys. The usage of the Chaos shield logo on the chest of the jersey is simple, and the Carolina’s scorpion tail logo as shoulder patches is clean. – Hayden Lewis

3. New York Atlas (white)

Because wouldn’t you also want the greatest state in the country embossed across your chest? (Of course — as a born and bred New Yorker — I am ever-so-slightly biased). As a state, New York emanates strength and force against a delicate and charming backdrop, just like the “New York” moniker does in bold blues amid the subdued white threads. Add some bull horns on each sleeve, and not even Gordon Ramsey could cook up something so good. I’d order one. Might even go back for seconds. – Lauren Merola

2. Carolina Chaos (Indigenous Heritage)

The beautiful Chaos scorpion was the star of the show on the Indigenous Heritage uniform. The combination of the Chaos red and white accented on the scorpion allowed it to stand out on the black colored jersey. The red collar on the jersey paired perfectly with the thick red stripe down the side of the shorts and the red accents on the scorpion. Kyle Jackson’s emotional postgame press conference displayed his appreciation for the medicine game. – Hayden Lewis

1. New York Atlas (Indigenous Heritage)

Crisp. Cool. Eye-catching. Step into Ojibwe artist Patrick Hunter’s studio and admire the beauty yet seeming simplicity of woodland art, a Native style blending traditional myths with contemporary mediums. The type of art explores the relationships between people, animals and plants, according to the Cedar Hill Long House Native Art Prints. It’s a perfect combination connecting the Bulls to the Creator, who is credited by certain tribes with giving the game of lacrosse. 

“Woodland art began in the 70’s in Ontario, Canada made famous by artists like Norval Moreisseau and Daphne Odjig,” Hunter told the PLL in June. “When looking at woodland artwork … You can see the life force, soul, vibe or spirit of what it is you’re looking at.”

And behind the jersey’s bull is a young team chasing greatness. Join them (or, at least, match them). – Lauren Merola
