You know that Adidas has been in a pretty major battle with some of the larger sports properties (Olympics, USTA) because of their stripes? Most of these leagues have pretty tight restrictions on logos and logo sizes and colors, etc. Anyway, for years now the famous adidas 3-stripe has been considered a design, not a logo. Nike and a few other companies began arguing that the stripes are in fact a logo and these properties are beginning to force adidas to get rid of the stripes during some major events. that's pretty big for their branding
