ProSport Athletic Supporter
(1968 to present?)COMPANY:
Scholl (UK)
HISTORY:
Scholl, was started by podiatrist William Mathias Scholl in 1906, in Chicago, United States. After William Scholl died in 1968, Schering-Plough bought the brand. In 1984, Schering-Plough sold the global brand and non-North American operations to European Home Products, who today as SSL International continues to manufacture footwear and foot care products distributed under the Scholl brand.
When Scholl produced the Prosport Supatherm Neoprene Athletic/Cricket Support is unclear, but will assume it was done when the UK company took it over (hence being a cricket Supporter)
Although there is no reference to the ProSport Supporter on the Scholl website, there are still plenty around on Ebay, Amazon and a few other websites.
