Wow, Bryce Harper is white?
I've heard that name, but no idea who he was.
Always assumed he was black. Maybe because Tennessee had some messed up crap with a recruit named Bryce something around the Kiffin era, and that just conflated in my mind.

Never heard of Lindsay Vonn.
I'd hit it.

They need to find new non apparel cash flows while they still have the chance.
Ugly ugly but their problems are fixable.

Ahem, uh
You are intelligent enough to understand what that means, right?

After Trump uninvited Under Armour (UA) endorser Stephen Curry to the White House and lashed out at some NFL players, the sportswear brand tweeted Saturday that it "stands by our Athletes for free speech, expression and a unified America."
But the company later deleted that tweet and replaced it with one that adds the word "flag."
"@UnderArmour stands for the flag and by our Athletes for free speech, expression and a unified America," the updated tweet reads.
Curry is trying to tell UA how to run its business. And look how that has worked out. Same for the NFL, with its employees telling the owners what to do
Rule #1: The customer is always right. Not the employees

Sorry your shitty company has such a shitty CEO who put PC ahead of sound business practices.

i like a lot of their stuff, but most of it's insanely overpriced.

Under Armor's primary problem from a marketing standpoint is they have been playing dangerously close to being a FUBU type marketing campaign.
There's a fine line between "look at us, we're cool" and "look, we aren't really for white people".
Their problem was putting their product EVERYWHERE. Too saturated...no longer cool.

Not a big fan of underarmour. Think their wicking technology is complete horseshite. Anything not cotton or absorbent can be called wicking because the material will not absorb it.
Underarmour is stuff made out of cheap man-made materials. 25 years ago no one wanted a shirt made out of nylon or rayon.

I mean, the reality is, UA, Adidas, Nike, New Balance, etc are completely interchangeable. There's no real compelling PRODUCT reason to choose one over the other.
For those folks, brand is basically 100% of the deal.
I've never bought any UA gear before only b/c I just never really liked it. Nike's stuff for the most part is solid other than their workout tshirts which are POS.
Thanks for the input

Fishing requires specific purpose-built apparel?

LOL...You're completely and utterly off-base. They had Lindsey Vonn and effing Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty featuring in commercials for their products. They are far more invested in hunting and fishing, tactical and military wear than Nike is and that's by several orders of magnitude.
Don't let that get in the way of the narrative though.
