Franklin Sports – Innovation and Passion Since 1946
Franklin Sports has been a symbol of sporting joy, innovation, and quality for nearly 80 years. Founded in 1946 by brothers Sydney and Irving Franklin in Brockton, Massachusetts, the American brand was built on one belief: sports make life better. What started with scraps of leather from local shoe factories has grown into a global brand that inspires millions of athletes.
From classic boxing gloves and baseball mitts to footballs, basketballs, and now pickleball paddles – Franklin Sports keeps up with the game and often leads the way.
