Under Armour

When Kevin Plank was a fullback for Maryland, he wasn’t the biggest or the strongest guy on the field, so he knew he had to be that much more calculated to get an advantage on the gridiron. He started looking at his equipment and uniform, wondering if he could make it serve him better during the game.

One thing Plank noticed was how the cotton T-shirt he wore under his jersey would always be soaked with sweat and uncomfortable by the end of the game, but his compression shorts were always dry. This sent Plank on a journey to make a T-shirt that could also wick away sweat and remain dry, light, and comfortable. With this simple goal, Under Armour was born.

Built to Perform

Though Under Armour has since expanded the scope of their products beyond a sweat-wicking football shirt, their mission remains the same: bring innovations to athletes that help them push the boundaries of sport.

Under Armour apparel is now designed for multiple sports and for every stage of the game, from warmups to the final whistle. Their clothing is built with technology optimized for the demands of each sport, so that you can stay focused on performing your best. Under Armour shoes provide athletes with another way to push their limits. Technology like UA HOVR provides runners with the responsive cushioning they need to log more miles, while Under Armour basketball shoes like the Curry 6 make running and cutting on the court easier.
