Schutt Sports, a football helmet and protective equipment company, reached a partnership with Pro Gear Sports, a custom shoulder pad supplier to the NFL and NCAA.
The agreement will give the Schutt Sports network of team dealers access to Pro Gear Sports’ line of shoulder pads and accessories. In return, Schutt Sports will offer a customizable product line to its customers in the NFL, NCAA and high school markets.
“Pro Gear shoulder pads are the ultimate custom shoulder pads and accessories available to the elite football player today,” said Kip Meyer, general manager of Schutt Sports. “It’s a level of product and service that’s being demanded of us more and more every day. This partnership with Pro Gear Sports gives us the opportunity to meet the most compelling demands of our customers, not only in terms of technologically advanced products but in quality of service.”
“Our locker room is filled with elite athletes who are very demanding of their equipment,” said Jeff Baily, head equipment manager at the University of South Alabama. “They like having one-of-a-kind products that are custom designed just for them. Pro Gear Sports has always impressed me with their ability to come into a locker room, talk with the players or me and figure out exactly what’s needed. They combine great technology and products and then create a custom shoulder pad that’s equal to the players’ demands.”
Pro Gear Sports is based in Jacksonville, FL and makes all of its shoulder pads in that location.
“We create the most customized shoulder pads on the football field for the most demanding athletes in the world,” said Fred Williams, founder of Pro Gear Sports. “Schutt Sports creates the most customized football helmets in the game. We’re both dedicated to providing athletes with the game’s most advanced protective gear and then customizing it to their exacting preferences.”
