and apparel provider.Under Armour has entered into a three-year sponsorship deal with South, providing shoes and apparel for the school.Twenty boys' basketball programs in the country are part of anationwide strategy to market the brand, the New York Daily Newsreported.Each South player received two pairs of shoes and a warmup suit."They're pampered," Holmes said.The coaches received polo shirts. Next season, Under Armour will provide South with new uniforms and shooting shirts.South was previously sponsored by Adidas, but the more-established company was providing only shoes to the school.
