Big Game

Big Game Football Factory:  WE MAKE THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECT IN AMERICA'S FAVORITE GAME

Chris Calandro wanted to reward his high school football coaches with a keepsake ball after their state finalist finish. Calandro took his project to several of the large football manufacturers, but they all turned down his order of only six footballs. Determined, Chris started to dabble with his own unconventional screen-printing process, and in his words, “ended up getting a patent for imaging on footballs.”

Chris set up his factory in Dallas and his team now produces roughly 1,000 footballs by hand each day. Many of those balls are for offcial game-play, however Big Game also has a booming business in commemorative footballs. These balls can be made of virtually any material desired. Many of our trophy balls become awards and mementos for pro and collegiate football players.
