Notre Dame signs with UA

Knock us down one rung in terms of attention paid to us?

Eh, ND basketball is better than us but not great.  Obviously ND football and then Auburn football are going to get the motherload of attention, but that could be good because as one of few UA schools (and even fewer with a great basketball history/tradition...even if its ancient), could increase the attention/interest in UA.

Nike does not take UA serious yet. UA's goal the next ten years is to own the North America market especially among youth sports.

UA is like vitamin water. They will take notice eventually and buy them :)

What are you talking about?   Of course Nike takes Under Armour seriously.    I don't know what their market share is...but they're not the little shop on the corner.
They're outfitting the US Olympic team and Notre Dame... UA isn't the little company that could anymore.   They're one of the big dogs

Small correction on US Olympic team.  Parts of the team yes.  Each sport has their own supplier

Fair enough.  And I didn't mean to sound like a Jerk Newyorker 
I just think it's somewhat obvious that UA stopped being small time awhile ago.

They definitely have.  They key for UA is to first overtake those under Nike, aka Adidas/Reebok.  International holds that key IMO.

In the world of college hoops uniforms.  Nice work from Adidas for Kansas IMO

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2014/jan/15/self-kus-alternate-uniforms-will-stick-around/

The alternate adidas jerseys that the Univ. of Kansas men's basketball team has worn the last two games are likely "turning into permanent jerseys" for the remainder of this season, according to Gary Bedore of the LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD. KU coach Bill Self during his weekly radio show last night said the players "prefer those to what we have been wearing." Self: "Not that what we’ve been wearing (during nonconference season) has been bad, we just prefer these to be better. If the color schemes allow us to wear them like they did last night, I’d anticipate you seeing those uniforms moving forward the rest of the year." Bedore notes KU wore gray uniforms for Monday's game at Iowa State "after wearing cream colored jerseys with the script word, ‘Jayhawks’ on the front" in Saturday’s home game against Kansas State. Self called the grey jerseys "gorgeous.” He noted that he is "generally in favor of a no-frills look at KU." Self: "Going forward, our uniforms are going to be solely traditional and we’re not going to have any of this stuff other schools are going to.” Bedore notes Self's comments were "ostensibly referring to some of the camo/neon uniforms teams like KU sampled last season." Self said, "I’m not into marketing and understanding all the ins and outs of that. ... There will be some things going on we agreed to do with adidas periodically because that’s part of the contract. We’re happy to do so, but the core of who we are needs to stand strictly from a tradition standpoint"

It is all good.  Nike see's UA as potential threat but, way down the line. I like how Plank has built the company, definitely not some mom and pop organization. If I were UA I would buy Puma who is known internationally.

Majestic has MLB

They are the official footwear supplier for the NFL FWIW but of course uniforms are more prominant
