Sports brands facts anyone?

Yeah there's this place called the internet, try it, it's really helpful.

60 years ago, Adi and Rudi Dassler, who owned a largely successful shoemaking business, had a bitter fall out. They both set up new businesses on opposite sides of the River Aurach, which runs through the centre of Herzogenaurach.

Rudi Dassler set up a company called Puma. No points for guessing which company Adi Dassler made.

So yeah, two brothers had a fight and both went on to create massively successful sporting franchises.

Really? Never hear of it! Where's that then?
oh wait... I'm talking to you on the internet right now!
Aww shame. I actually believed you were trying to be helpful aswell.

In the time it took you to make this post and the others, you could've already been to Google and have it done. This isn't the 1950s, simple non evaluation research tasks take a few minutes maximum with an internet connection.

Fair enough - honestly though, you just need to Google the companies, I know Wikipedia isn't the best but it's a place to start, and then go on to look at other websites, and compare the information.

I'll help off with a start, Nike was originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS), and was founded by a coach at a uni in the US, and one of his student athletes, and the company started off selling shoes for a company that is known known as Asics. The uni they started off at was in Oregon, where Nike now have their headquarters, but the first BRS/Nike store opened up in California.

Seriously, does anyone know the anual turnover and profit for Nike?

Well i've been searching for a while now and still can't find the annual turnver and profit for nike. But if it's so easy why don't you do it and then let me know.
Thanks

(P.S.- Using TSR was part of my research to see if anyone on here could tell me one whilst i was researching another.)

I literally just google'd 'Nike Turnover 2012'

C'mon, it's not that difficult.

Getting someone else to do your work for you doesn't count as "part of my research"

Well I got the link on my first go googling, so you might want to practice that some more Lemme give you a hint, as a US company you'll want to look at "form 10-k", then you'll want the "consolidated statements of income" with "revenues" being revenue and "net income" the actual profit.
