Lets do it ad campaign edit
Could it be argued that Nike stole its advertising campaign "Just do it" started in 1988 from a speech done by Art Williams in 1987? Same "slogan", interesting timing...
Why are they left out of the sponsored clubs list? Much bigger club than a few listed (eg Western Sydney Wanderers). Is it because they are a rugby league club and don't count (editor bias), because that's the only reason I can think of.
Edit request - year of renaming to "Nike Inc." edit
Nike's own history article sais that the year it's been renamed is 1971 and not 1978. http://nikeinc.com/pages/history-heritage (Paragraph: 1970 - 1979: THE BIRTH OF THE NIKE BRAND, AND COMPANY)
Swoosh Designer Compensation for designing the Swoosh Logo edit
NIKE paid the Swoosh Designer Carolyn Davidson $35 for the Logo. http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2011/06/nikes_swoosh_brand_logo_hits_4.html
Wrong Word Use edit
I think the word 'continue' should be fixed into 'continued' in the section child labor allegations.
Typo edit
The phrase "The previor year" is used, but I think that word "previor" should either be "prior" or "previous". Can someone fix this, please? I'm not allowed to.
Nike and Syria edit
In 2002, Nike admitted that some of their apparel was produced in the terrorist supporting nation of Syria, then governed by the dictator Assad. However, Nike claimed they did not "authorize" the production of apparel in that nation and they attributed the error to a contractor. In 2002, Nike publicly admitted producing shirts in the terrorist supporting nation of Syria.
Move edit
Move to just Nike. It's the main usage. 2A02:C7C:847D:400:841:21E8:809C:B6CB (talk) 22:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
