Puma men's underwear Brand History
Currently, Puma is the third largest sportswear manufacturer in the world. In 1924, Rudolf and his brother Adolf Dassler had jointly formed the company, Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory. The relationship between the two brothers deteriorated until the two agreed to split in 1948. Then forming two separate entities, Adidas and Puma. Following the split from his brother, Rudolf originally registered the newly established company as Ruda (derived from Rudolf Dassler; as Adidas was based on Adi Dassler). He later changed the name to Puma. Puma's earliest logo consisted of a square and beast jumping through a D, which was registered, along with the company's name, in 1948. Puma's shoe and clothing designs feature the Puma logo still to this day.
Puma then shot to fame during the famous 1968 Olympics Black Power Salute. Puma sponsored African-American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos. After winning gold and bronze in the 200 meters respectively, they took to the podium with their Puma Suedes in hand, bowed their heads and raised their black-gloved fists in silent protest during the playing of the national anthem. An act meant to stand up for human rights and to stand up for black Americans.
