Meaning of the Wilson Lax Spirit Wear Logo 

This is the national symbol of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (The Iroquois Confederacy), the creators of the form of lacrosse we play today. The symbols symbolize each of the five original Iroquois nations that came to form the Confederacy.

The central symbol is a white pine tree and represents the Onondaga Nation. It was in the Onondaga Nation that the Peacemaker planted the Tree of Peace and it was under that tree where the leaders of the Five Nations buried their weapons of war and agreed to a great peace amongst the nations. The color white represents their united peace. The color purple represents tranquility and strength+.

From this symbol given to us by the creators of the game of lacrosse, comes a new symbol for Wilson lacrosse and represents the same unity, pride, honor, and respect that we as Wilson players, fans, and family have for the Wilson Lacrosse program.
