Here's the scoop: NEW BALANCE bought Brine. New Balance owns Warrior, and now they own Brine, pretty much the two largest lacrosse manufacturers. New Balance is now the Microsoft of lacrosse.
Brine gear will continue to be brine gear, Warrior gear will stay the same. This would be like if you work for a shoe company making leather shoes. If you boss hires a worker that makes athletic shoes, he's going to continue making athletic shoes. Just because you make leather shoes, doesn't mean you are going to decide what kind of shoes he makes.
Kind of confusing, I know, but basically, Warrior works for NB and now Brine works for NB, they both do what they do and don't effect the other at all. The only difference now is that the money they earn goes to new balance, not the original founder.
