The firm Spalding was founded in 1876 by Albert Spalding in Chicago, Illinois. With its headquarters in Springfield, Massachusetts, Spalding is known for the production of balls for different kinds of sport, but especially for their basketballs and baseballs. Furthermore, Spalding now offers shoes and sports clothing as well and since its beginnings is advertising with top sports stars. Not for nothing, Spalding belongs to the top 5 brands of sportswear. Since the American college professor James Naismith invented basketball in 1891, the terms basketball and Spalding are inseparable and could pass as synonyms. Until today, NBA teams and international clubs are scoring with Spalding balls and are often also sponsored by the successful brand.
