Tiger Lily and Fair Trade Sports

Fair Trade Sports.





We've seen the exposes about baseballs and footballs made by child labor in Haiti. Seems like a big contradiction to have our 8 year-old Little Leaguers trying to wack a sweatshop baseball made by 8 year-olds in Haiti.


Tiger Lily is now carrying a selection of soccer balls, basketballs, footballs (American) and frisbees created by Fair Trade Sports (http://www.fairtradesports.com/). The quality is first-rate, and even better, their products are Fair Trade certified, vegan, and union-made. Most of the equipment is made by adult labor in Pakistan, using latex from ecologically managed rubber plantations. Emblazoned with the logo, "RESPECT," these balls carry their message where people are serious about their sport.

Stop into our store on Cedar Lane in Teaneck to see our new line of Fair Trade Sports balls and frisbees. Or check out FTS's website and blog for more information. Play on. Fairly.
