Schutt Sports (trade name of Kranos Corporation)[1][2] was a United States company that manufactured protective gear for several sports, focusing on American football, baseball, softball, and lacrosse. Products manufactured by company, headquartered in Litchfield, Illinois, included helmets and other protections such as jockstraps, and shoulder pads. The company also produced American football sportswear including jerseys and pants.

Established in 1918 as a basketball equipment manufacturer, during its existence Schutt signed agreements with sports leagues such as Major League Baseball[3] and American Amateur Baseball Congress in the 2010s.[4][3] Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the company's operations severely so it filed for bankruptcy in December 2020.[1]
