Rockland Athletic Supplies

Our Story

Three Generations of Craftsmanship

Est. 1984 · Family Owned & Operated

Founded in 1984 by John Medlin, Jr., Rockland Athletic Supplies has grown from a sporting goods and apparel shop into a full custom decoration company serving local teams, businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike — without ever leaving Union Street. Today, John Medlin, III represents the second generation of ownership and oversees daily operations on-site.

All production is done in-house, so every order gets quick, personable and impeccable service — and a team that goes the extra mile.

RAS regularly invests in current decoration technology, keeping quality and turnaround times ahead of the big-box competition.

A proud member of the South Shore business community — and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.
