[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 1006349, member: 6776"] Intentional or not, the 44 SS number likeness is not that surprising to me, considering the history of the Dassler family. Adidas was named after Adolph "Adi" Dassler. Adi and his brother Rudolph joined the Nazi party and Hitler Youth and served in the German Army in WW II. Before the war, Adi opened the Adidas factory and brother Rudolph opened the Puma shoe factory in Herzogrenarch Germany just north of Nuremberg where I was stationed in 1985 with the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment with the mission of border security. Undercover Nazism was still existed in that area and was publicly celebrated in the small town streets when we turned over the former US border camps to the Germans in 1991 after the wall fell in 1989. The Adidas factory produced anti-Bazooka gun tubes to fight the Allies during WW II. Adi and Rudolph were de-nazified after the war and the rest is history with Adidas and Puma sportswear. I personally like Nike and miss Russell, which was much less expensive. [/QUOTE]
