In 1996, a graduate from the University of Maryland, Kevin Plank founded Under Armour, a performance apparel company that now competes with some of the top apparel brands in the industry. During its first ten years of operations, the company was known primarily for its sweat-wicking clothing line. In late 2010, however, Under Armour released its first line of basketball shoes since the company's inception. "Along with the new product line, the company must have a new brand image," said Plank.

The company has also removed all advertisements carrying the word "apparel," and will begin exploring new ways to promote the brand.
