It touts that the technology behind their product assortment is complex but the program for reaping the benefits is simple: wear HeatGear® when it’s hot, ColdGear® when it’s cold, and AllSeasonGear® between the extremes. Their goal is to replace basic cotton products with their innovative merchandise.
Under Armour's mission statement contains the following effective elements:

It has the following shortcomings:
Too broad, Slightly vague

  1. This is off topic from your post, but I was looking on UA's website the other day and I had no idea they offered eye wear products. They are kind of similar to oakleys, but do look a little more "sporty". Do you know how long they have been offering these products?

  2. I love their products. In my Runners magizine I just saw these flip flops that are made by under armour and help message the feet after a hard workout.

  3. I love their mission! However, I do think that it's a mission that was formed just to sound nice. I'm not sure that it would actually motivate employees or encourage stockholders. :-)
