Method Man Debuts Lacrosse Sportwear Collab: "Hopefully It Gets More Kids to Explore the Sport"

Before he hit it big with the game-changing Hip-Hop group Wu-Tang Clan, Method Man played lacrosse. Now, he's tapping back into his early love with a new apparel and accessories capsule collection with the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) and Champion. The new line features logo crewneck tees, athletic shorts, stylish hoodies, and caps.

“I played [Lacrosse] from grade school to junior high, then I moved back to Staten Island,” Meth told Rolling Stone.

Per Rolling Stone, the items are directly tied to Meth's lacrosse experience, including the Hempstead Hoodie, which celebrates his days playing with the Hempstead Tigers on Long Island (this version features the words “Hempstead Lacrosse” and the PLL logo in the center).

Meth says he hopes the collection will make kids more interested in lacrosse, and not limit their attention to only football, basketball, and baseball.

“Hopefully [the collection] gets more kids to explore the sport,” the rapper said. “There are different avenues we can go through besides basketball, football and baseball. And lacrosse is so fucking cool because you can do all of those things, but you get a stick in your hand too. I mean what’s better than that?”

To that end, Method Man, the Premier Lacrosse League, and Champion plan to donate gear to 10 different lacrosse nonprofits “as part of a five-year plan to increase diversity on the field and make the sport more accessible."
