Under Armour was founded by a former football player in 1996 and started out making T-shirts which offer compression and the ability to wick perspiration off your skin to help regulate your body temperature. Thanks to some big breaks and smart advertising in the late 90's Under Armour was featured in football movies like Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday which garnered them attention and allowed them to make deals for them to outfit the XFL football league and eventual supply sports apparel to Olympic athletes and uniforms for schools like the University of Notre Dame.
Under Armour is now famous for a large line of performance engineered apparel, shoes, and gear designed to be light weight and keep athletes cool and dry. The high quality clothes and shoes are available for men, women, and youth.
