Buy Canadian: Why Supporting Canadian-Made Products Matters More Than Ever

More Canadians are paying attention to where the products they buy actually come from.

For many consumers, price and convenience are no longer the only considerations. People are increasingly looking for Canadian-made products, Canadian-owned businesses, and opportunities to keep more of their purchasing dollars closer to home.

If you're a sports fan looking for a unique Canadian product, Sport Displays offers exactly that.

Sport Displays is a Canadian company behind the Jersey Mount™ — an innovative way to display your favourite sports jerseys while still being able to easily take them down, wear them, and put them back on display.

It's Canadian. It's made in Canada. And it's a product that was introduced to millions of Canadians through CBC's Dragons' Den.

For consumers looking to buy Canadian, support Canadian entrepreneurs, and find something genuinely useful for the sports fan in their life, the Jersey Mount offers an alternative to another mass-produced imported product.

Why Buy Canadian Products?

Buying Canadian can mean much more than simply looking for a maple leaf on the packaging.

When Canadians support businesses that manufacture products here, their purchases help support a larger ecosystem of Canadian entrepreneurship, manufacturing, suppliers, workers, retailers and communities.

Every purchasing decision is small on its own.

Collectively, however, those decisions matter.

If you're already going to buy a gift, upgrade a sports room, decorate a child's bedroom, create a fan cave, or finally display the jersey sitting in your closet, choosing a Canadian-made option gives that purchase an additional purpose.

You're buying something you want while supporting a business building and manufacturing products here at home.

A Canadian Product Created for Sports Fans

The idea behind the Jersey Mount is simple.

Sports jerseys are often some of our most meaningful possessions.

Maybe it's the hockey jersey you've had since childhood.

Your son's first rep-team jersey.

A signed football jersey.

The soccer shirt you bought at a memorable match.

Your favourite basketball player's jersey.

Or the jersey you wear every Sunday during football season.

Unfortunately, many jerseys end up folded in drawers or hanging in closets.

Traditional framing can look beautiful, but once a jersey is sealed behind glass, it can become more like a museum piece than something you actually enjoy.

The Jersey Mount was designed to create another option.

Mount the jersey on your wall. Display it as part of your room. Then, when game day arrives, take it down, wear it, and put it back afterward.

Your jersey doesn't have to disappear into a closet just because you're not wearing it.

From Canadian Entrepreneur to Dragons' Den

Sport Displays is also part of Canada's entrepreneurial story.

The company and its products were featured on CBC's Dragons' Den, giving Canadians an opportunity to see the business and the concept introduced on one of the country's most recognizable entrepreneurship programs.

But appearing on television is only part of the story.

The larger goal has always been to create innovative sports display products while continuing to manufacture in Canada.

For consumers who intentionally search for Canadian businesses to support, that distinction matters.

Sport Displays isn't simply a company selling products in Canada.

We're a Canadian business selling products made in Canada.

The Perfect Canadian Gift for Sports Fans

Finding a gift for someone who loves sports can be surprisingly difficult.

They probably already have hats.

They probably already have jerseys.

They might have mugs, flags, posters, cards and memorabilia from their favourite teams.

The Jersey Mount gives them a different way to enjoy something they already love.

It can be used in:

Sports rooms and fan caves.

Kids' and teenagers' bedrooms.

Home gyms.

Basements.

Offices.

Dorm rooms.

Garages and workshops.

Restaurants, bars and sports facilities.

Team dressing rooms and clubhouses.

It can also make a unique gift for birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas, graduations, coaches, athletes or anyone building a sports-themed room.

Instead of simply buying another piece of memorabilia, you're giving them a way to display the memorabilia they already own.

Supporting Canadian Innovation

Canadian businesses compete every day against enormous international companies with massive advertising budgets, distribution networks and manufacturing scale.

One of the most effective ways consumers can support Canadian entrepreneurship is surprisingly simple:

Discover Canadian products.

Share Canadian businesses.

Recommend them to friends.

Purchase Canadian-made products when a good option exists.

Those individual choices help Canadian companies continue developing new products and pursuing larger opportunities.

And consumers don't need to compromise simply for the sake of buying Canadian.

The goal should be to find Canadian products that stand on their own.

Products that solve a problem.

Products that are creative.

Products that people actually want.

That's exactly what we're working to build at Sport Displays.

Canadian Sports Culture Deserves Canadian Products

Sports are deeply connected to Canadian culture.

From hockey arenas in small towns to soccer fields, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, football stadiums and community recreation centres across the country, sports bring Canadians together.

Our jerseys become part of those memories.

They represent favourite players, hometown teams, championships, road trips, childhood heroes, family traditions and unforgettable games.

Sport Displays was created in Canada for exactly those types of fans.

So the next time you're searching online for Canadian-made products, Canadian sports gifts, gifts for hockey fans, sports room ideas, jersey displays, or Canadian businesses to support, consider where the product was created and where it was made.

You can support Canadian entrepreneurship and get something pretty cool for your wall at the same time.
