Lacrosse is officially getting an emoji.

A lacrosse stick emoji is part of the Unicode 11.0 release. The release is scheduled for June, but usually it is included in the October Apple updates. The exact month that it is on your device could vary, depending on your manufacturer's update schedule.

The lacrosse stick was one of the most-requested Emojis of the year, and its propsal was described as "well-formed." That's thanks to many people, including Nicole Bohorad, Senior Manager of Social Media Enablement, Technology and Data Analytics at Under Armour, who authored the proposal. Sarah Aschenbach, Executive Director of the Tewaaraton Foundation; Steve Stenersen, President & CEO of US Lacrosse; and Freudiger, Lead Web Development manager at CACI Productions Group, owner of Megaton Lax were part of the proposal, as well.

The stick was designed by former Limestone lacrosse player Mike Freudinger. The design will be the more modern design above, though a traditional stick design was also created.
