Under Armour to become title partner for NBA Draft Combine

(Reuters) - Under Armour Inc said it would be the title partner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft Combine as the No. 2 U.S. sportswear maker expands its relationship with the league.

Under Armour, a league partner since 2011, will also be presenting partner of the Jr. NBA, the league's youth basketball program.

The Baltimore-based company will become the outfitter of the NBA Draft Combine, beginning in 2018, as part of a multi-year global partnership.

Under Armour said on Monday it will also develop a retail line of NBA Draft Combine apparel for fans.

The company, one of the fastest-growing sportswear brands in the United States, has been cashing in on the new trend of "athleisure".
