Under Armour was founded on September 25, 1996 by Kevin Plank. Plank, at the time, was a 24-year-old former special teams captain of the University of Maryland football team and started the company in his grandmother’s basement. Once Under Armour found success they moved to Tide Point in Baltimore.
Under Armour was created because Plank, who played football at the University of Maryland, wanted to upgrade the practice gear to improve performance and comfort for the athletes. The first innovation Under Armour became known for was a T-shirt made with a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric to be worn under the player’s pads to keep athletes cool, dry, and light.
Since then, Under Armour has become one of the leading athletic footwear and apparel brands in the world and signed such athletes as Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, Joel Embiid and even celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
