The Gold Medalist No One Saw Coming

Comparisons aren’t the same thing as motivation. In fact, comparing athletes to one another distracts from the unique qualities that make an individual perfectly suited for greatness. But what happens when you can’t escape these expectations? What if you’re born into an athletic legacy but want to pave your own path? Through the new Athlete No One Saw Coming campaign, Under Armour wants youth athletes to focus on their own game and block out the toxic comparisons they’re faced with each day. No athlete is more familiar with this pressure than Gold Medalist Jordan Thompson.

Empowering the Next Generation to be The Athlete No One Saw Coming

A segment on a sports show. A whisper on the sideline. A post on a social media feed. Athletes experience comparisons everywhere concerning just about anything—their form, their record, their presence on the team. Which All-Star do they most resemble? How does their technique stack up to the Greats? Will they be the GOAT or a bust? Comparisons are no longer used for context, they’re now confused with competition. Combating this long-standing and increasingly toxic trend, Under Armour has created a rallying cry to fuel self-confidence in youth athletes by empowering them to Be The Athlete No One Saw Coming in their latest campaign. Focused on encouraging young athletes to look beyond the comparisons and focus on their biggest competition - the athlete in the mirror - the campaign marks another important milestone in Under Armour’s ongoing mission to make athletes better.

Under Armour Celebrates the Start of the 2022 MLB Season

After an extended off-season of America’s favorite pastime, the gates to freshly cut grass, footlong hotdogs, and cheering crowds have opened to usher in the 2022 Major League Baseball season. And while every year starts with a clean slate, the past woes and wins are what powers our Under Armour athletes to set even higher expectations to deliver for the fans, their teammates, and themselves. As models of focused performers, each one of them thrives under pressure and continues to test their limits on their journey to compete.

A New Force in American Football

“I started playing football because my brother’s coach thought I’d be good at it," said Gordon. "I stayed in football because I want girls to know they can have a future in the sport. Under Armour and I are ready to make a difference. This is going to be a game-changer for women in football, and I feel inspired and ready for what’s next.”

Layla Banaras: When Learning a Sport Brings New Ideas to The Pitch

Growing up in Birmingham, England, Layla Banaras, 15, found herself at a crossroads of cultures. Her British mother and Pakistani father encouraged her to embrace each of her cultural influences, including her Muslim faith. But balancing the traditions of her culture with her interest in soccer became a challenge at an early age. “I would go to my brothers’ games and keep getting closer and closer to the pitch, and eventually the coach asked me to join in,” said Layla. Her enthusiasm for soccer grew, and at age eight, Layla joined the youth team league for girls run by the Birmingham City Football Club. That step was a new one for girls her age, as most youth soccer programs in Britain had historically focused on developing boys. Her parents faced the challenges shared by many – like how to balance practice time and find transportation. “When we started, there weren’t that many grassroots girls’ teams in our area,” Layla said. “We had to drive half an hour to play.”

Charlotte Kirby: Tackling Football, Her Way

Competing on a football field has been Charlotte Kirby’s dream since shortly after she could first pick up a ball. Showing that she belongs on the field with any player her age has served as her motivation ever since. The Gloucester, Virginia, teenager has been interested in football since she was two, playing with her dad and showing signs even at this young age that lesser-contact sports like soccer weren’t for her. She joined her first flag football team when she was only five years old, and a few years later, sought out a full-contact youth team. Upon joining, Charlotte noticed that while she wanted to play as much as any of the other kids, her ambition received a different reaction from coaches. “I heard a lot about the stereotypical girl’s first season, that we’ll say we have fun, then we’ll quit,” Charlotte, now 13, said. “They said I’d end up a kicker, but I’m not a kicker. I like to hit.”

Karim Harris: When the Team Becomes Family

Not every kid who enjoys basketball gets the chance to grow up learning and enjoying the game. For one Baltimore teenager, honing his talents required him to move away from home, and in the process, build new bonds and a brighter future. Karim Harris, 17, didn’t discover basketball so much as it found him. He was a third-grader in York, Pennsylvania, one who was head and shoulders taller than his classmates, who liked to hang out in the gym after school shooting hoops. A coach saw his potential and convinced him to sign up for an after-school league, and within a season, Karim’s team had a championship title with him at center. “From there, I just fell in love with the game,” says Karim. “I knew I wasn’t that great, but I played a big role in that team to just work hard, rebound, do whatever my coaches needed me to do.”

TRAINING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

This year's NFL draft is unlike any other in the history of the league. In order to help curb the spread of COVID-19, prospects will be selected virtually by each of the 32 teams. But that’s only what the public will witness. Behind the scenes, prospects have had to train, compete and recover in ways they never have before. Isolated, away from their teammates and training partners, relying on only themselves to push through each repetition and each sprint. But that’s what separates Under Armour from the rest. This is how we train and compete; we do what it takes. Justin Jefferson, Jonathan Taylor and Chase Young share how they’re training and preparing for the moment their names are announced on draft day.

Savage vs. Pressure

Competition is fuel. Competition is momentum. Competition is what makes better possible. This weekend, the 100 best high school football players in the country will converge on Orlando, Florida for the 13th annual Under Armour All-America Game. The nation’s best of the best will suit up in Under Armour specialty uniforms, designed specifically for high-caliber performance coupled with unmatched on-field swagger. From D-line to receiver, these players will sport the latest innovations from Under Armour football. The striking uniforms feature a neon camouflage design within the numbers and along the pant-side that represent the warrior spirit that landed each player a spot on the coveted squad.

WE ARE SYDNEY

The Sydney Opera House is one of the most distinct buildings in the world, a structure that has come to represent the innovation and ambition present throughout the city and all of Australia. The architecture of the venue has also provided the inspiration for the Sydney FC 2019-2020 kits, designed in collaboration with its new apparel partner, Under Armour. The club’s current badge is located on the upper left front of the kits, depicting the Opera House in various shades of blue. On the rear neck of all three jerseys is a call for fans everywhere – We Are Sydney – in addition to a Sydney Harbour Bridge graphic to illustrate the unifying ability of the club. The shoulders of the home kits feature a pattern resembling the ceramic tiles on the roof of the Opera House. This same gradient pattern covers the front and back of the team’s away kit.

A Legacy Born on Rails

In 1936 in Moscow, Voluntary Sports Societies (VSS) were established to promote sport and physical activity throughout Russia. Each VSS was governed by trade unions associated with different industries including defense, waterways, and education. The Lokomotiv VSS was formed to provide activities and opportunities aimed at the community that worked on and supported the railway system. The Lokomotiv VSS took control of the local football club Kazanka, 14 years old as a competitive team at the time, and thus was born what is now known as FC Lokomotiv Moscow – the football club created for the rail workers, by the rail workers. To pay homage to the club’s rich history in the rail industry, Under Armour designers paired best-in-class material innovation with subtle nods to the Russians who worked tirelessly to connect a sprawling nation via expanding railways through the 20th-century as the Soviet Union rose to power on the backs of a modern, well-built, rail system. The club's traditional badge on the upper left front of the kit proudly shows a steaming locomotive, always barreling forward. That motif inspires the rest of the green and red home kit, and green and white away kit. Adorning the sleeves and shoulders of the home jersey and the away jersey is a hammer and wrench insignia, the mark of the rail industry and a nod to the club’s deep roots in Moscow.

BADDEST UNIFORM FOR THE BIGGEST STAGE

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take the field at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas on December 29, reaching a milestone for the program and putting Under Armour innovation on its grandest stage ever. Notre Dame’s first College Football Playoff appearance also marks the first time that Under Armour will be represented in college football’s premier showcase, debuting their latest uniform design construction: ArmourGrid. Three years ago, Under Armour’s design team decided to punt everything the sports world had come to expect from football uniform design and start from scratch. As the game had evolved, uniform design needed to move with it. For a long time, uniforms had been baggy and flowing, loose for the sake of air flow. Then, with the revolution of HeatGear®and ColdGear®, the entire industry moved toward stretch, incorporating body-hugging materials that molded to equipment. This remained the standard until the innovators at Under Armour decided to rethink the whole process. After countless conversations with coaches, equipment managers and players, they honed in on the modern athlete’s most essential needs: Make it lightweight. Make it breathable. Make it indestructible. Make it unstoppable.

RUSH 4 GOLD, ONWARD NOTRE DAME

Finishing 12-0 in the regular season, the Fighting Irish have punched their golden ticket to the College Football Playoff as they prepare to face Clemson in the Cotton Bowl. A spotless resume with wins over teams from six different conferences - including ranked opponents Michigan, Syracuse and Northwestern - while criss-crossing the country has delivered Notre Dame a well-deserved No. 3 seed. Every opponent gave it their best shot but, with determination and teamwork, the Fighting Irish triumphed time and again, reminiscent of great Notre Dame teams of the past.
