I've been wearing moisture management clothing longer than most -- since 1990 at least -- longer than some companies like UA have even been in business. Longer than virtually anyone has been making a line anywhere close to what they make today. I've worn most brands and while I understand personal tastes are different for everyone, the current Nike Pro line is VERY hard to beat. It isn't very expensive, you can get it at Academy and other stores (likely) in your area, and it isn't a treated fabric like many other brands, including some UA products. It is a form fit, but not a compression like the UA form fit.
I used to wear the UA product, including the UA tactical -- v neck, dark logo, good support. Frankly, the Nike blows it away. The only thing close are a Brooks (running) product and another brand I don't remember the name of that I found in running stores. Incidentally, if you want the best in under garments, from briefs to shirts/tights, those stores are where the best products are. And the people in there are much more knowledgeable than your typical sales person at Academy or even an official's supply.
Incidentally, I was getting ready for a football scrimmage back in August and my Nike shirts were still in the laundry room. No problem. I grabbed an older UA shirt I started football with and put it on. Immediately, I felt something weird in the stomach area and instinctively rubbed it. The shirt started "shedding!" As I took it off, half the shirt lost its "outer skin." I was bummed because it was a very comfortable shirt, but obviously had a applied coating of something to it. True, I'd worn and washed that shirt well over 100 times, but I just couldn't imagine that happening.
