About Mitre
Mitre Sports International is one of England's oldest sports equipment manufacturers, founded in 1817 by Benjamin Crook in Huddersfield. Named after a bishop's headdress due to Crook's friendship with a local bishop, Mitre has over 200 years of heritage supplying quality sports equipment to athletes and clubs worldwide. The brand became the official ball supplier to the English Football Association in 1966, and for forty years every FA Cup Final was played with a Mitre ball. In 1992, Mitre introduced synthetic footballs to the newly formed FA Premier League, revolutionising the sport. The iconic Delta ball with its distinctive chevron design became one of English football's most recognisable products. Now a subsidiary of the British family-owned Pentland Group, Mitre remains the official ball supplier for The FA, the FA Community Shield, and numerous leagues globally. Beyond football, Mitre manufactures equipment for rugby union, basketball, and netball, plus training accessories, bags, and apparel.
