the coach of my schools lacrosse team requested prints of all of my lacrosse pictures from this season, so i'm going to order them from smugmug. which is more appropriate for sports prints: glossy or matte?

Glossy.

Glossy seems to have more "impact", which is what you want in a sports photo. Impact, vibrant colors.

Yes, it's true. Gloss has more color saturation than matte. We sell 4:1 more gloss than matte.
