About

What is 1894 Sports?

“At 1894 Sports, our mission is to provide Peoria with a vibrant community hub where they can experience a hands-on, personalized shopping journey. We specialize in high-performance gear, expert advice, and custom uniforms, while fostering a culture where players, fans, and families can connect, play, and grow together.”

the Founder

As a lifelong player, coach, fan, and business owner, I’ve seen firsthand how many companies operate with a “turn-and-burn” mindset, prioritizing volume over relationships, and sales over service. Too often, this leaves coaches and organizations dealing with overpriced products, poor communication, and a lack of true support.

That reality is what led me to build 1894 Sports.

1894 Sports was created with a different vision, one rooted in a team-first philosophy, where trust, service, and long-term relationships take priority. We don’t just supply uniforms; we become a reliable partner to the teams and organizations we serve.

Our commitment is simple: deliver quality, provide consistent communication, and ensure every coach and program feels supported every step of the way.
