Sports brands extend peace branch

17/09/2009

Rival sports brands adidas and Puma, set up by brothers Adi and Rudi Dasler following a row in the 1940s, have held a day of joint events in Germany in an attempt to improve relations between them.

The brothers originally ran a successful company, Gebrüder Dassler Sportschuhfabrik, together, but had an argument during a World Was II air raid and went their separate ways.
