None of that qualifies are rapid approach. to Brand Jordan alone.
100 million to 1 Billion isn't chump change. It's tough to keep growing like crazy when over $100MM. THis is especially true due to costs of said expansion.

I think they will hit $1 Billion way sooner than 10 years. They haven't had a hit shoe yet and are at $100MM. They are dominating cleats on the HS and college level. As those kids grow up, watch them try the under dog.

Also going after women is smart as well. UAis a monster. I'm waiting on a pullback to jump in.

You are right. My wife is a kidswear boys buyer for a department store. She's buying lots of Under Armour for boys 2 years old and up.

Under armor is different from Nike, fila, adidas, etc

Those companies are shoe companies who make apparel

UA is an apparel company who has some shoes

The growth market in the sportswear industry is in apparel and UA >>>>ADIDAS and tier 2 companies, and their apparel is on par with Nike imo

UA WILL eventually own the apparel market, as it gets more collegiate contracts and expands its woman's division and Nike will get back to its core competency of shoes.

So,true. Under Armour started out making apparel Nike haven't touch and they still doing it. They making good money off fishing and hunting apparel. They about apparel more than shoes.

Under Armour signing a partnership with Marvel and DC Comics was huge for their youth apparel.

If ever there was a year for UA to flex and throw shots at the Nike throne it's basically this year.

They need to do a national campaign highlighting the fact they have all the current champs. I don't ever remember a non-Nike brand having the title holders like this.

Do a countdown ... show quick cuts of the parades, confetti, rings, green jacket, trophies

4x NFL - Tom Brady
3x MLB - Buster Posey
2x Majors Golf - Jordan Spieth
1x NBA - Steph Curry

Championships? Just Did It.

Until UA gets a new designer for their shoes they could literally take me to the moon and then make the most delicious Ice Cream sandwiches and I still wouldn't buy them
