PHILADELPHIA – The Temple University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE:UA) announced today a partnership extension that will ensure that the Baltimore-based global performance brand will continue as the official outfitter of Temple Athletics for the next 10 years.
The partnership gives Under Armour the right to provide uniforms, apparel and footwear to all of the Owls' 19 varsity sports. This department-wide partnership also includes an annual Under Armour product allowance and marketing entitlements.
"We are very excited to announce this new, enhanced partnership with Under Armour," said Dr. Patrick Kraft, Temple Director of Athletics.

This new partnership will continue to provide our student-athletes with state-of-the-art product, and will help to increase the visibility of our brand on a national level."
With the new partnership, Under Armour will have a larger presence on Temple's campus. Later in the fall, the company will open an Under Armour concept store that will carry Temple apparel and will help increase the Owls' Brand with alumni and students.
"We are honored to extend our partnership with Temple University for the next decade and continue to provide their student-athletes with innovative gear to train and compete in," said Ryan Kuehl, Vice President, Sports Marketing, Under Armour.
