adidas is German and it should be the sponsor of the German NT

I think Ramsej's heart is in the right place. Adidas has been with the national mannschaft since WC 1954. On the other hand, if Adidas is taking advantage of Germany, that's no good either. I think we have to know how Nike's offer compares to the current deal with Adidas, but even more so we have to look at what arrangements Nike, Adidas and Puma have with other nations. Nike likes to break the bank to get what they want, so I have a feeling that's what is happening, rather than Adidas being cheap. If that's the case, then Germany shouldn't sell out.

PUMA is a German brand right? If I am not mistaken the founders were brothers who used to work together and split because of a trivial fight in a shelter during WW2
The factories are opposite to each other divided by a river...

Am I right?

I have my reasons. one of them is that flag that you get under your avatar, it is as annoying as a Maltese summer mosquito...
And Nike represents The USA (am not implying joe the citizen here so don't be offended) corporations who want to invade our continent... and I see this as a maneuver to achieve such objective...
I hate the American interference; I know it is OT and sound lunatic... but that is my humble opinion...

[sherpthederp]

All I know is Adidas makes WAAYY better looking kits than Nike or Puma. I hope Adidas comes back with an improved sponsorship offer.

Exactly, forget all the money stuff, I don't want this simply Adidas produce the best kits.

[JANCKER]

Would be good if Adidas didn't use the same model for 100 different teams...

[Dumbledore7]

Still better than any of the 100 different Nike designs . It's that stupid checkmark. Eww.

[pyrasur]

Hahaha. In this instance I don't care since it's not like the money can go into transfers or anything. It's just funny, since I'm actually German and perhaps I should feel badly since you care more than I do

[pyrasur]

Adidas vs. Puma

Two of the world's most renowned shoe companies were birthed from a bout of bad blood between siblings. In the 1920s, German brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler launched a shoe company together in their mother's laundry room. Their business boomed after Dassler shoes adorned the feet of gold-medal-winning Olympians in the 1930s. But as their sales spiked, so did the tension between the two brothers. World War II proved the breaking point in their relationship. While no one is sure what caused the riff, it's said to be a result of miscommunication. After an Allied bomb attack, Adolf and his wife took cover in a bomb shelter already occupied by Rudolf and his family. "The dirty bastards are back again," Adolf said, apparently referring to the planes, but Rudolf thought the comment was an attack against his family.

By the war's end, the brothers had split the company and waged a war of their own — in the business arena. Adolf, who preferred to be called Adi, named his business Adidas, combining his first and last names; Rudolf tried the same with his firm called Ruda, though he later changed it to Puma. It's said that the brothers never spoke again, and their bitter rivalry even divided the town of Herzogenaurach, where they built their competing factories on the opposite banks of the town's river. It wasn't until September 2009, long after the brothers' deaths, that the companies put aside their feud and faced off in a friendly game of soccer — an appropriate meeting for two companies who've become independently famous in the field of sports shoes. [source]
