==History== ===20th century=== [[File:Kevin Plank headshot 2018.png|thumb|Kevin Plank, founder of Under Armour, in 2018]] Under Armour was founded on September 25, 1996, by Kevin Plank, a then-24 year old former special teams captain of the University of Maryland football team.

His first team sale came at the end of 1996 with a $17,000 sale. From his grandmother's Washington, D.C.-area rowhouse, Plank moved to Baltimore.<ref name="ua performance apparel history" />
As a fullback at the University of Maryland, Plank got tired of having to change out of the sweat-soaked T-shirts worn under his jersey; however, he noticed that his compression shorts worn during practice stayed dry. This inspired him to make a T-shirt using moisture-wicking synthetic fabric.<ref name="ua performance apparel history">{{cite book |chapter-url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/under-armour-performance-apparel-history/ |title=International Directory of Company Histories |volume=61 |chapter=Under Armour Performance Apparel History |via=Funding Universe |access-date=November 28, 2012 |publisher=St. James Press |date=2004 |type=reprint }}</ref>
After graduating from the University of Maryland, Plank developed his first prototype of the shirt, which he gave to his Maryland teammates and friends who had gone on to play in the National Football League, and soon improved the design, creating a new T-shirt built from microfibers that wicked moisture away.<ref name="our history" /> Major competing brands including Nike, Adidas and Reebok would soon follow with their own moisture-wicking apparel.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/97/under-armour.html |title=Protect This House |last=Salter |first=Chuck |date=August 2005 |journal=Fast Co. |via=FastCompany.com |access-date=May 2, 2015 |quote=Plank may have caught the megabrands snoozing, but now they're wide awake, and his company is under siege from Nike Dri-Fit, Adidas ClimaLite, Reebok Hydromove, and others }}</ref> Plank opted to use the British spelling "armour" in the company name because the toll-free vanity number was still available for that version.<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sNaIGv0ZwE |title=Kevin Plank, Chairman & CEO, Under Armour |date=October 3, 2008 |medium=HTML5 video |location=University of Virginia Darden School of Business |series=Darden Leadership Speaker Series |time=8 min 55 sec |time-caption=Approximate time when fact is related |access-date=May 2, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140307082719/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sNaIGv0ZwE |archive-date=March 7, 2014 |url-status=unfit |via=YouTube |people=Kevin Plank; Everette Fortner (host); Brendan Boler (introducer)}}</ref>
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 requested 10 shirts from Plank. Contracts with NC State, Arizona State, and other Division I football teams followed. That year, Under Armour launched several new apparel lines including ColdGear, TurfGear, AllseasonGear, and StreetGear.<ref name="ua performance apparel history" /> By the end of 1996, Under Armour had sold 500 Under Armour HeatGear shirts, generating $17,000 for the company.<ref name="ua performance apparel history" /> In 1997, Plank had $100,000 in orders to fill and found a factory in Ohio to make the shirts.{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}}

==Controversies== ===UA Fitness Performance Center and historic mural covering=== thumb|The historic lobby floor, pictured in 1933, now covered by artificial turf for the Under Armour Fitness Performance Center In 2015, Under Armour released plans for its new Under Armour Fitness Performance Center powered by FX Studios at the Bank of America Building at 10 Light Street in Baltimore. The Fitness Performance Center is planned to take place in the building's lobby, covering historic murals of Baltimore's history by art deco artist Hildreth Meiere with artificial turf flooring. This plan has been seen as controversial due to the fact that Kevin Plank, Nate Costa (president of FX Studios) and developer Cary Euwer used state and federal tax credits to restore the historical building, yet the historical murals are being covered up by turf flooring.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.baltimorebrew.com/2015/11/11/rare-artwork-underfoot-could-soon-be-out-of-sight/|title=Rare artwork, underfoot, could soon be out of sight {{!}} Baltimore Brew|work=Baltimore Brew|access-date=February 13, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref> Many historians and local Baltimoreans have expressed public outcry that the design should be reconsidered and the murals should be saved.

On February 15, eight days following Plank's statements, Plank took out a full-page ad in the ''Baltimore Sun'' to clarify his position and that of the company. The letter acknowledged that he had used "a choice of words that did not accurately reflect my intent" and described how his company valued diversity, entrepreneurship and job creation. He condemned the administration's ban on travel to and from seven primarily Muslim nations, adding "we will join a coalition of companies in opposition to any new actions that negatively impact our team, their families or our community."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/on-leadership/wp/2017/02/16/in-full-page-ad-under-armour-ceo-kevin-plank-tries-to-put-praise-for-trump-behind-him/|title=In full-page ad, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank tries to put praise for Trump behind him|last=McGregor|first=Jena|date=February 16, 2017|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=February 13, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}}</ref>
In a statement issued to reporters on June 2, Plank deplored the Trump Administration's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris agreement:
<blockquote>We at Under Armour are disappointed by the Administration's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement as climate change continues to threaten our planet, our cities and our economies. Climate change is real and must be taken seriously by our business community, our customers, our neighbors and our elected officials. Sustainability has always been part of our DNA: it's integral to how we live and work and is essential to our environment. As a business leader concerned with creating American jobs, I disagree with the decision to exit the Paris accord.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/06/02/climate-change-is-real-under-armours-kevin-plank-unhappy-with-trumps-paris-withdrawal/|title='Climate change is real': Under Armour's Kevin Plank unhappy with Trump's Paris withdrawal|last=Bonesteel|first=Matt|date=2017-06-02|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=February 13, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}}</ref></blockquote>
