Much prefer the Trefoil logo but looking at that video it doesn't look like we're going to get it on the shirts .
 



Wikipedia:

The Dassler brothers feud was a conflict between two brothers from Herzogenaurach, Germany: Adolf [a name much less popular than it used to be] and Rudolf Dassler.

In 1919, they founded the shoe manufacturing company Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik, or Geda for short.

In 1948, after over 30 years of working together, Adolf and Rudolf abruptly shuttered Geda and separated.

Rudolf established Puma, which was initially named Ruda (short for Rudolf Dassler) but later was renamed Puma after the animal. In 1949, Adolf established Adidas, likewise named for himself (Adi Dassler).

The river Aurach divides Herzogenaurach; Puma's factory was to the south and Adidas's factory to the north.

Rudolf died in 1974 followed by Adolf in 1978. The brothers were buried at opposite ends of Herzogenaurach's cemetery



 
I suppose I'd better get my "man walks on moon" references in now before it reverts to being recent news in the near future
