2024 AFCA Show Recap – Nashville, TN

Our team started off the 2024 year with the privilege of attending the American Football Coaches Association Show in Nashville, TN. As always, this show was a team effort; a couple of the sales reps for Baker’s Sports joined in on the fun and we are so grateful to have had their help. Throughout the busy few days, we met with coaches from all over the world- including Japan, Germany, and London. We have high hopes that these interactions will help increase our international coverage.

On the topic of growing our brand’s coverage, Greg Mazza was given the opportunity to present to over 300 Polynesian coaches over two sessions! This was one of the highlights of our week, as our favorite part of the show is getting to share what we do with new groups of coaches- this was the perfect opportunity to do so on a larger scale.

Lots of exciting launches happened during our week at the AFCA Convention! As you may have seen by now, we used the show as an opportunity to debut the new Pro Sports logo to our customers. This rebrand is happening as we move the company from Pro Gear, to Pro Sports. This running change will continue throughout 2024!  Another new addition to Pro Sports is the X-Small back plate that tons of coaches were able to get a first-look at. This specific back plate is geared towards the protection of college skill players.

With new custom back plates on the market, as well as a new logo, we launched the #KnowTheLogo campaign on Twitter. This movement was created for us to help show our support for our customers, as well as get more customers in the best pads in the business. Use the hashtag #KnowTheLogo to share images of your logo on the field, promoting your business and ours!
