Veteran-Owned Custom Baseball & Softball Glove Brand
Business Description
Established, veteran-owned custom baseball and softball glove brand with an 18-year track record and a loyal following among youth, travel-ball, high school and college players, their families and coaches.
The company designs and sells fully custom, build-to-order fielding gloves, catcher's mitts and first-base mitts through its own e-commerce website, which features an integrated online glove builder. Customers choose the leather, colors, webbing, embroidery, logos and flags to create a one-of-a-kind glove, priced from approximately $170 to $250. The catalog is rounded out by ready-to-ship gloves, batting gloves, apparel and accessories, and online sales are supplemented by tournament appearances, pop-up events and dealer relationships. Credibility is supported by testimonials from professional and collegiate coaches.
Financial performance has improved sharply. Revenue grew from $148,817 in 2024 to $175,066 in 2025, while adjusted seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) rose from $30,916 to $86,566, a 49.4% margin. Through August 2026, the business has generated $109,983 in revenue and $51,755 in SDE before add-backs (47.0% margin). The business is home-based with low fixed overhead and a lean team of two part-time employees.
Custom pricing is in line with the leading custom-glove specialist and below the premium custom programs offered by the major national brands, positioning the company well with value-conscious travel-ball families who want a personalized, high-quality glove.
Growth opportunities include building out a newly launched Amazon marketplace channel; expanding team and bulk-order programs for Little League, travel-ball and school programs; growing dealer and wholesale accounts; increasing paid digital advertising and email/social media marketing; and adding off-season and holiday promotions to balance the May-August peak season.
The owner is retiring and will provide a negotiable training and transition period, including introductions to key suppliers and dealers. The seller is open to discussing seller financing or an earn-out with a qualified buyer. An ideal opportunity for an owner-operator with a passion for baseball and softball, or for a strategic acquirer in sporting goods, team dealer or licensed apparel seeking an established custom-glove brand and e-commerce platform.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Pros: Established custom-glove niche brand since 2008. Custom pricing ($170-$250) is in line with the leading custom specialist and below the premium custom programs of the major brands. Veteran-owned identity, tournament presence and coach testimonials build credibility. Cons: Competes with much larger brands (Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno) and a fast-growing custom-glove specialist. The 6-10 week custom build time is longer than some competitors.
- Opportunities for Growth
