Rawlings is a baseball and softball-equipment maker established in 1887, with products such as gloves, bats, balls and protective gear. Its company news says it acquired Easton Diamond Sports in 2020 and is a portfolio company of Seidler Equity Partners.

Warrior

Warrior Sports sells hockey and lacrosse equipment, with separate ranges for each sport on its official site. Its homepage shows hockey skates and apparel alongside lacrosse products, while a corporate purchase-order page identifies New Balance Athletics or an affiliate as the buyer under its supplier terms. That gives a first-party corporate link but does not establish that New Balance makes every item. Equipment specifications, protection standards and team deals should be checked by current product and season.
