Custom Field Hockey & Lacrosse Socks Guide
Field hockey and lacrosse are stick-and-shin-guard team sports that share a sock brief: a tall over-the-calf sock that holds the shin guard in place, takes bold team colors and survives turf and cleated-boot wear. Both are fast-growing school, college and club sports with seasonal kit reorders. For team-kit suppliers and dealers serving these sports, a custom over-the-calf sock is a reliable, design-led line. This guide covers the shared construction, team branding and the MOQ and 2026 pricing for custom field hockey and lacrosse socks.
One Sock, Two Stick Sports
Custom field hockey and lacrosse socks share a construction because they share a need: a tall sock over a shin guard. They're close cousins of the soccer sock and part of our team sports range, tuned for turf play and the bold color schemes these sports favor.
Construction
- Over-the-calf height - holds and covers the shin guard
- Stay-up ribbed top that doesn't slip during play
- Cushioned footbed and reinforced heel/toe for cleat/turf-shoe wear
- Breathable, moisture-wicking knit for full-match play
- Footless / pre-cut option for players who layer with grip socks
Bold Team Branding
- Full sublimated graphics - team colors, patterns, logos and numbers edge to edge (lacrosse especially loves loud designs; see sublimated socks)
- Knit-in logo and stripe bands for simpler team socks
- Per-player numbers for team kits
- Exact team-color matching
Materials & Sizing
- Poly/nylon performance blend with spandex, durable, colorfast, wicking, holds sublimated color
- Cotton-rich option for youth and training
- Full size range - youth through adult, sold in size bands
- See the yarn comparison

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do field hockey and lacrosse use the same socks?
Both are stick sports played with a shin guard, so both need a tall over-the-calf sock that holds and covers the guard, stays up during play, and survives turf and cleated-shoe wear. We build both on one construction, tuned with the bold colors these sports favor.
What is the minimum order for custom lacrosse socks?
MOQ is 100 pairs per design and color. Knit/stripe field hockey and lacrosse socks run about $0.85-1.60 per pair at MOQ down to $0.54-1.00 at volume; full-sublimation versions run $1.40-2.50 down to $0.92-1.70, with player numbers at no surcharge within a run.
Can the socks be fully sublimated with team graphics?
Yes, full sublimated graphics with team colors, patterns, logos and numbers edge to edge, which lacrosse especially favors for loud designs. Knit-in logos and stripe bands are available for simpler team socks, all with exact team-color matching.
Are these socks over-the-calf?
Yes, over-the-calf height is essential to hold and cover the shin guard in both sports, with a stay-up ribbed top that doesn't slip during play, a cushioned footbed and reinforced heel and toe for cleat and turf-shoe wear.
Do you make youth field hockey and lacrosse socks?
Yes, a full size range from youth through adult, sold in size bands so a team or school covers every player, with cotton-rich options for youth and training. Both sports are fast-growing at school and club level with seasonal reorders.
Can players layer these with grip socks?
Yes, we offer a footless or pre-cut version of the team sock for players who layer a grip sock underneath for boot lock-in, the same approach used in soccer. The footless option carries no surcharge within a run.
