On3 Elite announces Certor Sports as athletic performance, protection sponsor for On3 Elite Series

On3 Elite is excited to announce the addition of Certor Sports as the athlete performance and protection sponsor for the second annual On3 Elite Series.

Certor Sports, a dynamic player in sports technology and product development, is the parent company of industry leaders Schutt and VICIS, two brands that deliver cutting-edge solutions that prioritize athlete protection and performance.

“Our team at Certor Sports is dedicated to building innovative products and technologies that elevate athlete experiences,” said Chad Hall, Chief Marketing Officer, Certor Sports. “We’ve protected some of the biggest names in the game for decades while helping improve their performance on the field, and we can’t wait to do the same for the next generation of players at the On3 Elite Series.”

The partnership between Certor Sports and the On3 Elite Series underscores a shared commitment to athlete welfare and performance optimization. During the On3 Elite Series, Certor Sports will hold a panel for athletes and their parents to ask questions and discuss the technology and safety benefits of the helmets.

Each On3 Elite Series athlete will then have his head scanned for a customized Schutt or VICIS helmet of their choosing, ensuring that when they step on the field this Fall, they will have the opportunity to wear one of the highest-rated and most technologically advanced helmets in the game today.

“Our mission is to provide athletes with the best-in-class protective gear that ensures the game we all love will be around for years to come,” Hall said. “Bringing both Schutt and VICIS to the On3 Elite Series underscores our collective dedication to pushing boundaries and delivering unparalleled solutions for athletes.”

Schutt, with over 105 years of experience in the sporting goods industry, and VICIS, a pioneer in advanced football helmet technology, have consistently been at the top of both the NFL/NFLPA Helmet Performance Testing and Virginia Tech’s Performance Testing for helmet safety.

One of the most iconic equipment brands in the game, Schutt is best known for its popular F7 football helmet, its sleek, stylish design, and is worn by some of the legends of the game, including Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase and Myles Garrett. 

VICIS, which burst onto the scene less than a decade ago, has become a leader in innovation and pushing boundaries across the football landscape. Known for its ZERO2 football helmet platform with a soft shell technology, VICIS changed the game of football with the introduction of the first ever position-specific helmet models, now worn by some of the biggest superstars at the NFL and college level, including Patrick Mahomes, Nick and Joey Bosa, George Kittle, Tua Tagovailoa and Anthony Richardson.

Together with Certor Sports, On3 Elite is excited to elevate athlete experiences and set new standards for performance and protection in the world of sports. Join us in shaping the future of athlete performance and safety.
