2008 Glove Manufacturers

Postby softball66 » December 23rd, 2007, 5:57 pm

I just received the "Sporting Goods Dealer's" 2008 Industry Buyers Guide and it lists the following companies under it's Glove Listings. I thought the readers in this forum would like to take a look at it. Note these are glove makers who sell through retail sporting goods stores hence a direct (internet) marketer like Kelly is absent.
Here goes: Adams, A. D. Starr, Akadema, Bomark, Brett Bros., Champion, Controling the Game, Coop Sports, DeMarini, Easton, Franklin, Glovesmith, Hillerich & Bradsby, Markwort, Martin Sports, Miken, Mizuno, Nocona, Pinckard, Rawlings, SSK Sports, Venus Knitting Mills, Wilson, Worth.
Fifty years ago you would have had Franklin, Nocona, Rawlings and Wilson out of this list who would have been around as glove concerns in those days. Japanese entries like SSK and Mizuno have entered the market as have primarily softball equipment producers like DeMarini, Easton, Miken and Worth and a bat like H&B has also gone into the glove market. For some reason Nike is missing from this list.
