Sometimes people are more willing to pay premium price for a brand/logo. That’s how companies like Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, Air Jordan, etc. get away with charging $40-$50 for a $20-$25 pair of shorts and $30-$40 for a $10-$15 T-Shirt and still have them flying off the shelves.

#BrandWhores
SOMETIMES, though, it’s worth it quality wise

#BrandWhores SOMETIMES, though, it’s worth it quality wise Agreed, but Under Armour's quality has gone to "the 's' word" lately, and it's disappointing because I don't buy their stuff even when I liked it back when it was good.

Because once they’ve established themselves and people buy their stuff, they make more money buy using cheaper quality in their products

It's basically the lowest it's ever been:

Not dollars, more like cents. It costs them a few cents to make. I sometimes think it costs them more to ship those items than it does to produce those items.

I was comparing it to retail price of other brands of the same quality that aren’t “name brands”. Either way you’re right though because those workers make nothing. Quantity over quality I guess.

The Under Armour clothes you find in Marshalls or Kohls is most likely manufactured and sold by a licensee company operating sweatshops in China.

The Under Armour clothes you find in Marshalls or Kohls is most likely manufactured and sold by a licensee company operating sweatshops in China. The whole brand is foreign made. Under Armour is the one calling the shots, and they have been reducing the quality for the sake of profit, so no longer buy their product. Also, even their UA stores have crap because I've bought it, and returned it.

Yeah I knew this too, for example cleaning products all contain the same chemicals required to clean whatever area they're designed to clean, if you take away those chemicals then it doesnt clean, if you add to it it wont clean, so in essence all cleaning products are the same because they need to be the same to work. you just pay extra for the brand name.
what does trip me though is the most expensive Dominoes pizza costs something like £2.50 to make but they charge £16.99
