Under Armour's Rival and Levi's Logo pullover are both $55 ~9oz mid-weight fleece hoodies with brushed interiors, so the fabric is a near-wash. The real split is fit and identity: UA's standard athletic cut leans training-and-street, while Levi's relaxed everyday cut pairs with denim. One reads gym, the other reads casual.

Which should you buy?
With identical $55 prices and matching ~9oz brushed fleece, this comes down to fit and look. Buy the Under Armour if you want a trimmer athletic hoodie for training and street wear. Buy the Levi's if you want a relaxed everyday logo hoodie that layers with denim, especially since Levi's runs frequent promos that can drop the real price. Note the Levi's colour fades a little in high heat, so wash cool either way.
