Under Armour just released a line of 'Star Wars' clothes, but there's one glaring issue

Under Armour just released a new line of clothes inspired by upcoming film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

There's just one problem. The line appears to exclude clothing that will fit women.

Here's a look at "The Imperial Collection" on Under Armour's website.  

Note that under "All Genders," there are only two options: men and boys.

While the men's line includes shirts decorated with Storm Troopers and the Death Star, the company does not appear to have equivalent options for women.

The boy's line also includes shirts that read "Born To Lead" and feature a rendering of Darth Vader's head.

Of course, there is nothing stopping a woman or girl from wearing clothing from the male Under Armour lines. In fact, when you click on the "Born to Lead" shirt in the boys section, its labeled "Kids' Star Wars" and not "Boys Star Wars."

Still, it's worth noting that the company did not label the clothing as unisex on it's main page, giving the impression they didn't believe women or girls would be interested in buying their "Star Wars"-inspired clothing. 

On Twitter, people have started expressing their dissatisfaction with the new line. 

"Girls like Star Wars too," writes this Twitter user.

"Thumbs down," writes another. 

 We've reached out to Under Armour for more information and will update this post when we hear back.
