I think Nike is better than Under Armour because Nike uses environmental preferred materials and they eliminate toxins in their products according to Nikeinc.com/pages/products

Nike is also known for bright colors. In the world up in 2010 Germany Vs Spain. Spain was going down the field and they were right outside the 18 Yard box And one of the players saw his teams bright Nike cleat right behind so he dropped it back and he scored to win the world cup. So as I was saying Nike shoes have been on almost every champion. In football all the way to boxing.

I think Nike is better than Under Armour because according to a number of sources, such as www.athletepromotions.com, Nike has more celebrity athlete endorsements than Under Armour. This shows that more athletes trust Nike than they do Under Armour. Some athletes include Derek Jeter, Micheal Finley, Cc Sabathia and Adrian Peterson.

Nike also has more years of experience than Under Armour does. Under Armour was founded in 1996. But Nike was founded in 1964. This proves that Nike has 32 more years of experience than Under Armour.

I agree. Under Armour has been using the same price system, and they say it's, value-based. The reputation is unchallenged and will remain the same.

Nike's company value is worth 15 billion dollars. Under Armour is worth only one billion dollars. Nike's brand has much more worth. Showing how many people probably prefer Nike over Under Armour.

Although Nike's company is worth more, so is the materials they are using. According to invesstorplace.com/zoll/06/nike-stores-3-pros-3-cons/ the price of raw materials they use is starting to grow, so that means the price of the apparel will go up as well.

That is because Nike has been up in running for a long time. Underarmour became a store later than Nike. Nike's date founded was January 25, 1964. Where as Underarmour's date founded was ín 1996.

Yes, and even though Nike's been around since 1964, Many people have already been expecting good quality out of Under Armour.

I believe than Nike is better because they have a better variety of clothes. According to Recomparison.com/comparisons/100549/Nike-vs-under-Armour-which-is-better/ Nike is unarguably the number one manufacturer of sports shoes in the world. The company's lineup includes shoes for basketball, baseball, golf, hiking, tennis, football, soccer, and running.

Under Armour is better than Nike. According to many sources, such as www.cnbc.com/id/1009225505, Under Armour's variety is expanding. They've rolled out new clothing that can battle the elements. They also have something called Cold Black, which is black apparel that reflects hear rather than absorb it.

Under Armour has better quality. Under Armour price their products on quality, not just because they want a bunch of money. Their clothing is only expensive because they have good quality.

You might say that But Nike has just as good of quality as Under Armour. And while Under Armour will still be expanding there horizons Nike will be making New Generation things because Nike already has all the basic stuff Under Armour has

Underarmour's quality is also better than Nike. Underarmour basically originated the ¨dry-fit" style football undershirt but has clearly branched out into so much more theses days. Underarmour for quality always wins when it comes to athletic footwear says www.thefitnesschamp.com/home/2010/1/24/nike-vs-under-armour.html

I disagree, many players are sponsoring Under Armour now. Many football players from the ravens, and also many NBA players. Under Armour is starting to have more and more sponsors. Pictures show from http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bal-under-armour-athletes-pg,0,4817893.photogallery

I think that Under-Armour is better than Nike because its clothing has better material and also has 2 layers of clinical fabric. Also most of there shirts range at about 40-50 it all depends on what material is used and how old it is! Most people would rather buy something cheaper cause they might not trust it but if lots of people buy the products and wear um in stores or at restaurants people might become to trust their company's product. Most of Under-Armour's shirts are rated by at least a FIVE, And most of there stocks get sold out during spring and winter. Their also a big part of sport's clothing that they wear when they play, Most sport's trust this brand like the NFL Football League they trust it because their product is worth the money and is reliable. That's Why I Think Under-Armour Is Better Than Nike.

Nike has better variety for better price. Under Armour gets half of its price because of its name. And Nike has also created a new shirt to air out sweat. And they have also created a soccer cleat material made for every condition.

Under Armour's quality is improving as well. They have made more high-tech fabric that keeps the athletes dry and regulates their body temperatures. That can help the players stay active longer. According to underarmour.wikispaces.com/products

I have something that is very disturbing. Nike has terrible working conditions. In Vietnam Factories, they have chemicals that can cause liver, kidney, and brain damage, that are at 177 times the legal limit. 77% of workers have to deal with respiratory problems.
