Dynasty Bag Series

Lacrosse was a sport played originally by Native American groups in the area now known as Canada. The game of lacrosse was used to train warriors, create community, and as a ritualistic practice. The game was adopted by Europeans after the game was used to capture a fort. Traditionally played on a long field, they used almost no equipment, more similar to modern women's lacrosse than men's.

Brine was founded in 1922 by W.H. Brine Company, and quickly became the standard for sporting goods. Through the 1950s and 60s they experimented with new methods and materials.
They were some of the first companies to produce non-wooden lacrosse sticks, as well as synthetic leather for soccer.

Now, Brine represents the niche market of Women's lacrosse. Their modern innovations include welded mesh which was made legal for games in 2018. This spirit of innovation and love for the game inspired this series of bags for pro-level players of women's lacrosse.

Lifestyle, Competition, and Travel

These three bags were designed to meet three different needs that a pro-level women's lacrosse player will face at different points of their season. Despite the obvious differences in scale and use, they have a cohesive design integrating Brine's iconic triangular logo and use of color.

Final Designs

Competition

A game day bag which carries everything the pro-level player might need in a season, with multiple compartments and storage.

This bag is spacious and simple, designed to carry up to four lacrosse sticks, extra heads, gloves, two pairs of cleats (with ventilation in that compartment), goggles, a mouth-guard, spare string, balls, and clothes or other equipment.

In addition to a spacious interior, internal mesh pockets can keep everything organized and easy to find in a pinch.

Travel

The travel bag is for the lacrosse player as they fly across the country during their season. Designed to complement the game-day duffle, this bag carries the clothes and other equipment.

This suitcase has segmented sections, acting like a closet if it's used in a hotel room. It can carry at least a week's worth of clothes, team jerseys and lacrosse skirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and has a section for shoes.

This bag is simple and straightforward on the outside but with convenient internal structure, it meets the needs of a traveling athlete.

Lifestyle

The cross-body bag acts like a "fanny pack" which can easily be used for both on the field and throughout the day.

The small space is meant to carry the minimum equipment required for women's lacrosse, omitting the stick.
The two pieces of equipment this bag was designed for are the goggles and mouth guard.

Extra storage on the outside is provided for storing jewelry during gameplay
