As consumers spend more time at home, ditching work clothes and suits for yoga pants and sweats, you would think that sports apparel brand Under Armour would be thriving.
But the company that urged athletes to “Fight on Together” has fallen on tough times. While the brand’s sweat-wicking performance gear is popular among athletes, it might not be resonating with consumers the way it used to.

So can Under Armour rebuild its momentum before it’s too late?
