Biography
- Under Armour founder Kevin Plank built the popular sportswear brand as the underdog competitor to Nike.
- Noticing his football teammates' sweat-soaked shirts, Plank came up with a lightweight, sweat-wicking shirt using fabrics from women's undergarments.
- In the mid-1990s he sold his first shirts from his grandmother's basement, exaggerating to early customers to make the company sound bigger.
- Plank, who stepped down as Under Armour's CEO in 2019 but returned to the role in 2024, took the company public in 2005.
- Plank got kicked out of his high school after an alcohol-fueled brawl with Georgetown U football players; he later walked onto the U. of Maryland's football team.
- Plank served on President Trump's manufacturing council but resigned in 2017 after the president lightly criticized neo-Nazi protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia.
