Franklin Sports

Franklin Sports was founded in Brockton, MA in 1946 by brothers Sydney and Irving Franklin. Using discarded scrap leather from local shoe factories, the brothers developed a line of footballs, boxing gloves, basketballs, baseball gloves, and more to provide athletes of all ages with quality athletic equipment. Today, Franklin Sports is now an official partner of the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, NWSL, and other professional leagues as we remain committed to supplying all athletes with the equipment they need to play and compete at their best.

While much has changed through the years, Franklin Sports continues to operate with one central belief: Sports Make Life Better.
