Founded in 1902 in Alexander City, Alabama, Russell Corporation started on a small scale with a few pieces of equipment and a small building. As the company grew, it became a pioneer in the athletic team uniform business and one of the first companies to produce the most popular athletic product of all - the sweatshirt.
Building on that heritage, Russell Corporation today is a major branded athletic and sporting goods company with over a century in marketing athletic uniforms, apparel and equipment for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities. It has become a global operation built on well-known brands and quality products. Through its Russell Athletic operations, the company is a leading supplier of team uniforms in the U.S. and is the largest provider of basketball equipment in the world with its Spalding group of businesses that includes Huffy Sports and American Athletics, Inc.
Spalding and Huffy Sports recently signed an eight-year equipment agreement with the NBA to continue their involvement with one of the fastest growing sports in the world. American Athletic's AAI brand is a well-known name in gymnastics and the leading provider of equipment for that sport. Brooks Sports is a pioneer in the technical footwear industry and its technical apparel is also valued in the world of serious runners. Moving Comfort also holds a strong position in running with its apparel especially designed for women who run just for pleasure as well as in a marathon.
