While adidas led the way in boot production in the 1950s and 1960s, the Herzogenaurach company was something of a latecomer to the sports clothing market.The traditional meeting at the Malente sports college to clothe the players before the 1962 FIFA World Cup™ in Chile was to prove a landmark event. At the time, the German national team were using sportswear supplied by Schwahn, whose tracksuit bottoms were fashionably wide in the leg though somewhat impractical for everyday training.This detail did not go unnoticed by Adolf Dassler, who was present to fit the players with his company’s boots. The adidas boss, famed for his creativity, was not satisfied with the trousers and asked the Schwahn representative Willi Seltenreich to supply him with some "tracksuits with three stripes down the side of the trousers and sleeves", specifically requesting that the trouser bottoms be ftight-fitting and not of the wide-legged variety".Seltenreich fulfilled the order, but since the design was already too late for the FIFA World Cup, the new tracksuits were first worn by Bayern Munich. Such was the success of the clothing that Schwahn became an exclusive manufacturer for adidas in 1964. A few years later, Adolf Dassler acquired the entire company and, from that moment on, adidas produced their own lines of clothing.
In the late 60s and early 70s, increasing problems with trademark counterfeiting prompted Dassler to develop a new logo. In 1972, the famous Trefoil logo was born that would go on to become the company’s official trademark, adorning every item of clothing.
After a period of increasing success for adidas products, the Franconian company launched its first leisure collection in 1974. Today, the world of sports clothing would be unimaginable without the famous three stripes. Since the 1974 FIFA World Cup, when Germany lifted the new Trophy for the first time, five world champions have toasted their success in adidas shirts.
