Schutt Sports (a brand of Certor Sports) is a United States company that manufactures protective gear for American football. Products manufactured by Schutt, headquartered in Plainfield, Indiana, includes helmets and other protective products such as shoulder pads. Schutt is known for its F7 helmet, which can be seen at or near the top of NFL and Virginia Tech helmet ratings.
Established in 1918 as a basketball equipment manufacturer, during its existence Schutt signed agreements with sports leagues such as Major League Baseball and American Amateur Baseball Congress in the 2010s. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the company's operations severely, causing it to file for bankruptcy in December 2020. Shortly after, Schutt, along with football sister brand VICIS, were bought and revived by Innovatus Capital Partners. Within a year, the company was moved to Plainfield, Indiana in October 2021, where it still maintains operations.
