What Major League Players wear Kelley?

We get this question a lot, "Which Professionals Wear Your Products?"  There is no doubt that professional athletes serve as role models in terms of what amateurs buy in today's market.  And there is also no doubt that companies spend millions upon millions of dollars to get athletes to wear their equipment, somehow making people think that their equipment must be the best if Michael Jordan or Mark McGwire is wearing it.  Well, Kelley USA has a different philosophy.

We do not believe in paying the professional athletes money to wear our products because we feel it takes away from what we can offer amateurs in terms of price and quality.  By paying professional athletes to wear our equipment, we would have to charge you more for the equipment (notice the huge price difference between our products and the others).

A major league ballplayer does not walk into a retail store to buy a glove.  He is contacted by a representative of a manufacturing company that works out a paid contract for him to wear their glove.  

With that said, Kelley USA was started on the philosophy that we wanted to focus on the amateur players and bring them the same quality equipment that the pros have access to.

  To us, the amateur player is our professional athlete!
