Balle de Match, founded in 1991, is run by a small group of young, sports-minded individuals, all of whom are distinguished by their passion for representing a tennis wear line that is like no other. It all began in Pasadena, CA by a USC graduate with a vision to take tennis apparel to the next level. Chris Deverian made a commitment to break away from the norm of conservative tennis styles by meshing the Southern California beach-living culture seamlessly into his designs with fun, sporty color palettes and innovative moisture-wicking, UV-protected fabrics. This was only the beginning of the Balle de Match ‘Revolution’.

Chris started the Balle de Match ‘Revolution’ in the early 1990s by producing eye-catching t-shirts out of his parent’s garage for circulation at professional tennis tournaments on the ATP/WTA Circuits. The Balle de Match brand and iconic YippeeMan stick-figure grew in popularity and from 1997 through mid-2001, the small-fledged company gained momentum in the tennis industry. The product line soon branched out into Men’s and Women’s Fashions along with great items for kids and in 2005, Balle de Match launched its first Men’s and Women’s Team Collection.

In late 2004, Kipp Reese Koldyke & Co., a unique private investment firm, partnered with Balle de Match to assist in taking the brand to the next level. Since then, Balle de Match has more than tripled its sales and continues to grow both its local and global presence.

Our mission continues forward from these humble beginnings and into a strong, prominent future to provide a unique tennis look for those who want to be recognized as individuals both on and off the court. Whether you are playing in a doubles match at Wimbledon or just walking your dog, we want you to be comfortable and confident.
