(well now this is getting interesting…)
(yes I know this is old news… but its still interesting)
Someone tell Nike‘s Swoosh to move over and make some room.
Under Armour‘s interlocking U and A wants some of the action in the city’s grassroots basketball world, too.
Trying to further shed its perception of being a football-only apparel brand, Under Armour is treating the talent-rich landscape as prime real estate, and the top programs are buying in.
The budding Baltimore-based sports clothing and sneaker company is set to sponsor five New York high school basketball teams during the 2009-10 season, including Lincoln High, which has won seven of the last eight PSAL championships.
Under Armour is also sponsoring Boys & Girls and Thomas Jefferson‘s boys’ teams, as well as the reigning city and state girls champion, St. Michael Academy, and perennial girls powerhouse St. John the Baptist onLong Island.

Yes this is getting more and more interesting by the week. Under Armour’s current stock price: 26.37… P/E ratio is pretty high for me though.
