He's talking youth football. UA penetrated the pop warner market early.
Was their original bread and butter. Brand wouldn't have survived those late 90's early 2000 years without it.

Nike bout to take over the jersey sponsorship
UA was the first to come out with those compression shirts, they still have a clamp on that aspect of amateur sports
They are also expanding their endorsing of sports teams (soccer clubs overseas)

Yup.
Those compression shirts had us feeling like gladiators as a kid, back when there had never been anything like it produced before.

Heard it was estimated the shoes has had about $50 million in free marketing thus far and I can see it, every marquee show on all ESPN channels has had a segment featuring the shoes. If you're in the athletic wear realm you'd kill for that.

Unless they using premium leather they ain't $100 to make.
If the shoe is all fake leather they 40 to 50 tops.

Its funny how cats always argue me down about future players.Every draft theres the next Magic,Bird,Michael,Kobe,Lebron,Shaq.I always call it every year.What people want.And whats the outcome is totally different.Jabarie bust so far,Ben S. bust so far.If they stay halfway healthy.They can have D.Rose/Carmelo success.And thats really pushing it.By giving them to much credit in the potential department.
To sum it all up.We rarely get generational talent.They dont come around that often.Its just that people are so thirsty for 1.That they hype up any new good,average player coming in.When we get players like the 6 i named up top.Its obvious.Theres no debating about it.Watching Lonzo in the tournament.Was dissapointing.He didn't even take the chip like Carmelo Anthony did.Plus who thinks hes going to be a generational talent.It was blasphemy when people thought Ben Simmons was.I decided to watch 1 of his LSU games.Because of all the hype.
He played scared the entire game.I had cats telling me it was the coaching staff.He picked the wrong school.That wasnt it.He played uninspired.Looked like he didnt want to be out there.Certain players get over hyped.They put the little BS High School tapes on Youtube.Then there the next Jordan/Lebron.Lonzo will be the next C.J. McCollum at best.His shooting form alone is going to kill him in the league.Shoes/Clothing business is a beast.This is Starbury 2.0 at best.lol at people thinking its going to be successful at $495.00 per shoe.
Like it was said before.Dad shouldve taken a backseat on the shoe deal.If BBB is a bust.Do you all think the major shoe companies give 1 of them deal.If they come crawling back.It wont be that bad.They can sign with Under A,or Sacouny,s.

Ok? Doesn't change that they'd love have a particular signature show be the focus of the sports news world for a day.
And it's not quite free for the playoffs, they had to come up off a billion (not counting individual endorsements) to get that publicity.

If Lonzo is an all star and gets drafted by the Lakers. BBB is clearing way more than 10 million over the next 4 years
