You guys should look into sponsoring Kendrick Farris. He is an Olympic Weightlifter-top male in the Western Hemisphere. US, Canada, and Mexico as of June 2010. Top contender for London olympics -2012. Look him up on facebook and videos on YouTube.

Yes, AJ Hawk is still endorsing Under Armour. He has a link to UA from his official site: http://www.ajhawk.com/default.aspx

Janet-
That’s a great idea, perhaps Under Armour is interested in sponsoring Jessica. Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank is a former athlete, so he seems to have an appreciate what it takes to compete. Under Armour has a section on their website (www.uabiz.com) to submit Sponsorship Proposals, so give it a shot. You might also reach Speedo, which might want to get involved.

have you every considered sponsoring a paralympian. there is
a swimmer in baltimore, jessica long, who has won almost as
medals as michael phelps. she has won the sullivan award, the
only paralympian to do so, an espy, 4 gold medals, l bronze and
1 silver in china. it would be great for under armour to give
some attention to her since she is from the hometown. her website
is jessicalong.org., if you are interested. she will be swimming
next in eindhoven, the netherlands in august in the world
championships. europe seems to be much more interested in the
paralympians than the united states.

Julius Jones only wore UA for that year when he came out in a UA commericial. He started wearing Nike while still in Dallas and continues with the Seahawks. Check nfl.com photos if you would like to confirm.

Andrew-
That’s a great question. Here are a couple of thoughts:

1. UA does provide a submission form for teams looking for sponsorships. Try that to see if they can connect you.
http://underarmour.sponsorport.com/

2. There are a few Under Armour employees listed via Linkedin as in-charge of “Talent” which I only assume means athletes. They are Melissa Wallace (SVP, Talent) and Christina Visaggio (Manager of Talent). You could call Under Armour directly and see if one of these ladies could help you or direct you to the correct person.

3. Contact a sports agent to help you obtain a sponsorship. IMG Sports is one of the big one’s, someone there might be able to help you with Under Armour and/or other other sponsors.

Good luck!

Ruger-
Yes, the University of Hawaii signed an 8-year sponsorship deal with Under Armour in 2008. The deal was $4.1 million.

I did not list all of the UA schools on that original article, just some of the main one’s. But today I added Hawaii & linked to the other Under Armour deals with smaller schools like Delaware, New Hampshire & Southern Illinois.
