History of Exclusive Pro

Exclusive Pro was established in Rockford, Illinois in 1990 as Exclusive Pro Sports. The initial business consisted of a folding chair, a card table, and eight different hockey jerseys in the living room of my childhood home. From the beginning Exclusive Pro was a company founded on quality and authenticity, a philosophy which has served as well as we've grown to perform embellishment services to some of the biggest names in retail and sports.

Today, we're a licensee of the National Football League, Players Inc, National Hockey League, National Hockey League Players Association, and the ECHL. In addition, we perform the on-field work for many teams in the National Football League, National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, American Hockey League, ECHL, and the United Hockey League. We also provide on-ice jerseys for several Division I college hockey programs. In 2004 Exclusive Pro worked with the NHL to customize all of the jerseys worn in the NHL All-Star Game Skills Competition and the Young Stars Game. Exclusive Pro has also worked with most major manufacturers at the retail level for NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA apparel, as well as retro jerseys and college apparel.

Our roots in the complexities of decorating professional sports jerseys has provided us with a great backdrop for the volume programs we now execute for a variety of consumer products brands, multi-channel retailers and professional sports organizations. The Internet in particular has helped usher in a new era for retail programs using personalization and mass customization. We believe our commitment to quality and our background in operating complex embellishment programs makes us the ideal partner for retailers and consumer products brands who wish to develop these dynamic retail programs.
