To kickoff Pride Month festivities, the Under Armour LGBTQIA+ Teammate Resource Group, UNIFIED, has curated a series of activities for members and allies to gather and celebrate as one community. Last week, our teammates heard from three inspiring LGBTQIA+ Under Armour collegiate athletes during a panel moderated by Unified leaders. This was followed by an evening of mingling, music, and shopping the ’24 Pride Collection at our Baltimore Brand House. We were thrilled to gather as a community to uplift LGBTQIA+ teammate and athlete voices, and look forward to many more moments to come together throughout Pride Month and the rest of the year to support and celebrate our teammates.

Under Armour and Curry Brand are excited to announce a multi-year NIL deal with University of South Carolina Guard, MiLaysia Fulwiley! “When it comes to the ability to change the game for good, nobody can speak to that more than MiLaysia,” said Stephen Curry, President of Curry Brand. “She’s changing the women’s game on the fly with how she plays and moves on the court. She has a unique style and flow to her game that I don’t think many people have seen in a long time.” MiLaysia made history this past weekend by becoming the first freshman in South Carolina history to be awarded the SEC tournament MVP. This full-circle moment began back in Fulwiley’s AAU days where she was a member of Team Curry, the AAU basketball team sponsored by Stephen Curry and the Curry Brand.
