ouooga Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm actually teaching a class tonight on Brand Presence, and why the decisions brands make need to be in line with their brand image. I'm not going to say whether UA was right or wrong in this decision, but as I read the original post I immediately thought of Nike's mission being a bit more business savvy: "To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world." *If you have a body, you are an athlete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood! This is EXACTLY it. Under Armour was arrogant. They thought their gear made the brand. They were wrong. Nike recognized that their advocates made the brand. Band kids are nothing if they are not loyal to the athletic brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, C.Holland said: They did have a few stock splits in 2016. Which also would lower their share value. Which increases shares per holder, but also allows new investors to buy more stock at a lower price. So yes, this was a good thing. Certainly not even close to a "tanking". Wait, after your edit... No, you're wrong. Splits are a wash. Completely without meaning in and of themselves. True, they might let a smaller investor buy 100 shares (does anyone even still understand a "round lot" anymore?) instead of 50, but a split means nothing. As I said, the chart I posted is split-adjusted. Any decline of more than 50% in 18 months or so is a "TANKING", "SLAMMED", "HAMMERED", "BUTCHERED", "AN A$$-KICKING". So I don't care what you call it but it's declines are not, in any way, related to its splits. Edited February 7, 2017 by garfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed that you failed to integrate our newly discovered uncensored DCP term into this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago, Boston sold UA stuff with Waldo on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
