It caught my eye and as I saw more women carrying these bags I had to ask someone one day “where did you get that, I see them everywhere!” That was about 3 years ago and I am completely hooked on the brand.…

As a fullback at the University of Maryland, he got tired of having to change out of the sweaty T-shirts he wore under his jersey but then, he noticed that his compression shorts worn during practice stayed dry. This encouraged him to make a T-shirt using this fabric. 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 NFL. Plank then perfected the design creating a new T-shirt made from microfibers that wicked moisture and kept athletes cool, dry, and light. By the end of 1996, Under Armour had sold 500 Under Armour shirts, making $17,000. In 1997, Plank had $100,000 in orders to fill and found a factory in Ohio to make the shirts. People began to notice the brand when a front page photo of USA Today featured Oakland Raiders quarterback Jeff George wearing an Under Armour mock turtleneck. Following that front page, Under Armour's first major sale came from Georgia Tech they asked Plank for 10 shirts.
