UA mainly produces tight underwear (for example, under basketball uniforms and baseball uniforms) or shoulder pads (for example, shoulder pads for American football or hockey), but in addition, UA also produces sweaters, ordinary Tee, long sweatpants and so on.
Andema led the trend of producing tight-fitting sports equipment made of sweat-absorbent polyester yarn. Subsequently, Nike (dri-fit pro series) and Reebok (NFL equipment series) followed suit. In June 2006, Andema released a football brand with the slogan "Click Click".
Company history
This very successful company was founded by former Maryland football star Kevin plank on 1996. Tired of the painful feeling that cotton TEE was soaked by sweat after exercise, Kevin plank invented and developed a prototype material that can keep athletes fresh and light during strenuous exercise.
Then he immediately persuaded college football teams in two hot cities to buy his equipment: Georgia Institute of Technology (in hot and humid Atlanta) and Arizona State University (in Phoenix, near the desert). Then the NFL team Atlanta Falcons also put on this brand of equipment. Since then, more and more teams have chosen UA equipment, including most NCAADivision 1-A football teams. At the same time, the company also designed and manufactured many equipments for other sports.
