The Chrome Lacrosse Club were a professional men's field lacrosse team in Premier Lacrosse League (PLL). They were one of the six founding members of the PLL for the 2019 season. When assigning cities to their eight teams on November 14, 2023, the PLL announced they would abandon the Chrome identity in favor of relaunching the Denver Outlaws, one of the most successful franchises in Major League Lacrosse history."The Denver Outlaws Rise From the Ashes For a New Start in PLL". Inside Lacrosse.</ref> PLL cofounder Paul Rabil did not rule out the return of the team identity in the future.
