Kevin Plank The Creator Of Under Armour
  • By Eddie Small

2
History Of Under Armour
  • Founder Kevin Plank started Under Armour in 1996.
    He was a football player with the University of
    Maryland. He got tired of having to change out of
    the sweat-soaked T-shirts he wore under his
    jersey, so he made a T-shirt using
    moisture-wicking fabric for athletic performance.
    He called it Under Armour.

Location
  • Kevin started out working in his grandmas
    basement. By 1996, Under Armour had made 17,000.
    Kevin had 100,000 in orders to fill, and found a
    factory in Ohio to make the shirts.

4
Business
  • People began to take notice of the brand when a
    front page photo of USA Today featured Oakland
    Raiders quarterback Jeff George wearing an Under
    Armour mock turtleneck. Under Armour's first
    major sale came when an equipment manager from
    Georgia Tech asked Kevin Plank for 350 shirts.
    This opened a contract with N.C State and sales
    began going through the roof.

5
Why Under Armour Is So Successful
  • The Reason Under Armour is so successful is
    because it is the only shirt of its kind that has
    moisture-wicking fabric for athletic performance.

6
Stock
  • The stock Under Armour is doing well and I
    Recommend you buy it.

    plank and Under Armour. Next time you go to a
