Schutt Sports has reached an agreement with Krypton Sports of Carlsbad, Ca, to extend it’s brand into a new line of on field gear, as well as off field branded apparel.

Krypton Sports will introduce the first-ever line of Schutt football gloves to compete with other more established brands in that category.

Along with football gloves, Krypton Sports will be producing the first-ever line of branded apparel for Schutt, as well.

“Our brand stands for on-field authenticity,” says Dave Rossi of Schutt Sports. “Athletes tell us they want to wear our stuff off the field, as well, so were ready to leverage the Schutt brand into that area and Krypton has developed an incredible line that is true to our brand and true to our customers.”

The new line of branded Schutt apparel will include shorts, t-shirts, hoodies, performance wear, headwear and other accessory items.

“The experience Krypton brings to the table from working with giant brands in the marketplace was an important factor when we considered who we wanted to work with on this new venture,” said Rossi. “Krypton has all the right pieces: great creative, top-of-the-line production qualities, great distribution channels and a stellar reputation within the sporting goods industry. Theyre going to bring a lot of high end growth to Schutt Sports.”

Schutt will utilize its traditional channel of team dealers for distribution while Krypton Sports will expand the company’s presence in other retail channels
