Lacrosse Sports Team 1910 Real Photo Postcard

Lacrosse, a sport originating from Indigenous North American traditions, underwent significant standardization and growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 1910, as depicted by the team's sweaters, it was an established amateur and collegiate sport, particularly in areas like the northeastern United States and Canada, transitioning from its ceremonial past to a more organized, competitive format. The athletes' attire, consisting of button-up sweaters, shorts, and long socks, reflects the typical athletic fashion of the Edwardian era.
