LEONARD MARSHALL'S PRO STAR BECOMES OFFICIAL NFL LICENSEE

          N.Y.-based Pro Star Athletic (PSA), a company co-
     founded by former Giants DL Leonard Marshall, has been
     licensed by NFLP and the NFLPA's Players Inc to produce
     player-focused NFL merchandise.  PSA, which has showrooms in
     NY and NJ and manufacturing capabilities worldwide, will
     produce a selection of team and player-focused items
     including jackets, fleecewear, golf shirts, caps, activewear
     and accessories.  Each PSA item will incorporate both team
     logos and a replica player signature.  PSA has a license
     from the NFL QB Club, and says it has access to every Hall-
     of-Fame players' signature.  PSA's Fall '98 launch will
     include a dual-brand strategy -- Pro Star Athletic and Big
     Time Player -- with Pro Star Athletic being available at
     department stores and athletic specialty retailers and the
     Big Time Player being sold by mass retailers such as Target
     and Wal-Mart.  Marshall, who serves as President of PSA,
     said that after its initial foray into NFL-themed apparel,
     the company hopes to expand into other team sports (PSA).
