There is no better endorsement than the best players in the world and many champions and former champions have held a Wilson tennis racket in their hand, including current supremo Roger Federer. Past tennis pros include Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors, Chris Evert and Steffi Graf. It is also commonplace for International events to use Wilson sports equipment. The US Open has used Wilson tennis balls since 1979. The company also manufactures tennis shoes, racket strings, clothing and racket bags.

Football also bears the company logo. The NFL has used Wilson footballs exclusively since 1941. The company also makes football accessories, such as rubber tees, ball brushes and field towels. Male and female basketball players wear the company uniforms and play with Wilson balls and backboards. Baseball uses Wilson uniforms, different styles of gloves, protective headgear, chest protectors and leg guards.

Golf is a major business as well as a sport and Wilson sports equipment is very involved in supplying golfers and their needs. The finest woods, irons, putters, and wedges are made, along with balls, carry bags, and cart bags. The range also includes gloves, caps and visors, umbrellas, towels, accessory bags, backpacks and den caddies. Individuals or companies can have their own logo printed on their equipment or any inscription to promote a particular event. Many world-class golfers have played with Wilson, including Nick Faldo and the legendary Arnold Palmer.

Volleyball is another sport for which Wilson supplies the balls etc. It's not often that a ball becomes a Hollywood star but this is what happened in the case of the Wilson manufactured ball that was featured in the movie, Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks. In fact, it could be said that Wilson, as Hank's character Chuck named it, was the co-star. Alone on an island after a plane crash, Chuck forms a dependency on 'Wilson' and has conversations with him. Chuck's hand print on the ball resembles a face. The Wilson company made a 'Wilson' ball with a face on to tie in with the film.
