Scott Sillcox Sports licensing expert - NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL etc.

My name is Scott Sillcox and I owned Toronto-based Maple Leaf Productions beginning in 1997 until I sold the business in 2010. We were a licensee of the NFL, MLB, NHL and US colleges. We were licensed to produce a variety of products that were decorated with team uniforms, team logos, team names and other licensed images. The products we produced were plaqued and framed posters, clocks, fridge magnets, playing cards, fanframes, etc. The products were sold across North America by a wide variety of bricks and mortar retailers, e-commerce retailers and catalogues. I have a good deal of licensed sports product experience that I earned firsthand as a licensee. I enjoy sharing that information with entrepreneurs and anyone else interested in entering the licensed sports product business. It is a tricky business when viewed from the outside, so take advantage of my experience. Let me give you an insider’s perspective and answer every question you have about licensed sports products. I have written a fairly widely-read 12 part series called “An Insider's Guide to the World of Licensed Sports Products in 12 Parts: Practical Lessons from the Trenches", which can be found at: http://licensedsports.blogspot.ca/2012/03/introduction-to-insiders-guide-to-world.html I have also created a searchable online directory of most of the licensed sports products companies and key personnel n North America.
