UA got hunting and fishing gear. Their target is rednecks, training, and football. They really never care to go after the urban market.
They certainly started out as a base layer and then performance apparel company. I think they've attempted to branch out beyond just performance apparel because you need urban and lifestyle gear in order to get those big time college deals.

I give Curry mad props for speaking out about this and not hiding behind the check...alot of athletes wouldn't have the balls to do that
That's real talk though. Most superstar athletes don't feel they wield the power to speak out against their sponsors.

Baltimore City Council Member was bashed for saying this in January. :mjpls:


Baltimore Politician Accuses Under Armour CEO of ‘White Supremacy’

Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank is moving ahead with a $5.5 billion building project in Baltimore’s southern end, which will include
not only the company’s headquarters but also residential and commercial property and a manufacturing plant.

Some might suggest such a massive investment is a good thing for the struggling city—but Baltimore City Council member Ryan Dorsey denounced the company and its CEO Kevin Plank as emblematic of “white supremacy.”

“White supremacy cozying up to white supremacy? Shocker,” Dorsey wrote in a Facebook post about Plank, who was among the business leaders meeting with Donald Trump in January. “’Quisling’ probably isn’t even an appropriate term to use. It specifically refers to a local traitor getting in bed with an occupying force.”

Dorsey, who is white, also slammed Plank as “an occupying, colonizing, culturally appropriating force.”

Plank didn’t respond, but a spokesman for Plank Industries told the Baltimore Sun that Dorsey’s comments were “unprofessional and unworthy of an elected official, even a very inexperienced one.”

Dorsey, a 35-year-old first-term progressive Democrat, is known for showing up to meetings in a black hoodie sweatshirt, the Sun noted.

Plank’s Baltimore project, which received near-record-breaking subsidies from the city, is expected to create 25,000 local jobs. Under Armour, the second-largest sports apparel company in the United States, anticipates that its new Baltimore headquarters alone will provide 10,000 jobs, up from about 2,000 before.

Other local politicians rushed to denounce Dorsey’s comments. The mayor called them “totally unacceptable.” One council member said Dorsey’s statements were “highly disrespectful” and another said he was “shocked and saddened” by them, the Sun reported.

But Dorsey has since doubled down on his comments, saying the new development is an “egregious example” of a project that benefits only the city’s white residents.

NOW they get it. :mjpls:

I don't keep up with Baltimore. How many of these jobs will go to baltimore residents. Specifically how many for minorities?
