Under Armour Targets Thomas Müller
Feb 4, 2016, by Pat
According to reports in Germany, Bayern Munich's Thomas Müller is one of Under Armour's prime targets for the brand's expansion into football.
Müller to Join Under Armour?
Thomas Müller is currently sporting the leather Adidas X 15.1, but will we see him in Under Armour blackout soon?
Thomas Müller, currently under contract at Adidas until 2018, would join the likes of Memphis Depay (Manchester United) and Granit Xhaka (Borussia Mönchengladbach) who signed for the up-and-coming US brand in the last 12 months.
The report goes on to state that Müller already has an extension offer from Adidas on the table, but did not yet accept it. Although the story might just be a way to put pressure on Adidas during contract talks, but it nonetheless shows Under Armour's ambition.
Under Armour declined to comment on the story. "Under Armour won't comment on future commitments in football at this time," a company spokesperson told Sport Bild.
No matter whether Müller will agree to join forces with Under Armour or not, it's safe to expect big announcements from a brand that aims to disrupt the football market in the same way it already did successfully in other sports.
Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
