About Me

Under Armour founder Kevin Plank built the popular sportswear brand as the underdog competitor to Nike. Noticing his football teammates' sweat-soaked shirts, Plank came up with a lightweight, sweat-wicking shirt using fabrics from women's undergarments. In the mid-1990s he sold his first shirts from his grandmother's basement, exaggerating to early customers to make the company sound bigger. Plank, who stepped down as Under Armour's CEO in 2019 but returned to the role in 2024, took the company public in 2005.
