Brand History
The history of Puma starts the same as Adidas, but takes a very different turn...




-- Rudolph (Rudi) Dassler--

Rudolph (Rudi) and Adolf (Adi) Dassler worked together in the 1920's to produce shoes under the 'Dassler' brand. Dassler shoes
were worn during the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games earning Jesse Owens 4 Gold Medals. On top of that fellow wearers of Dassler
shoes go on to win a total of 7 Gold and 5 Bronze medals and break 2 world records and 3 Olympic records.

No-one knows for sure what made the two brothers fall out. Several stories exist ranging from an affair between Adi and Rudi's
wife, Rudi stealing money from the family business or hurtful comments between the two during air-raids in their hometown of
Herzogenaurach.
The fact that Adi continued running the family business whilst Rudi was shipped off to an American POW camp must have been
the last straw, as when Rudi returned in 1948, he set-up his own company on the other side of the river, taking his loyal staff
with him.
Puma was born, and with it released the 'Puma Atom', Puma's first football shoe.
-- Puma Atom --
Rudi wanted to work on removable football studs, and was aided by national coach Sepp Herberger.

Helsinki, Finland.




-- Joseph Barthel--
The Super Atom was produced, and was worn for the first time by top players of the clubs including Horst Eckel and Werner
Liebrich who due to their excellent performance, were to become part of the German National team.




-- Horst Eckel and Werner Liebrich --

History
Puma, a German-based multinational company is recognized for producing sophisticated athletic
shoes and other sportswear. The leading company is best known for manufacturing soccer shoes.
Puma now sponsors around 30 national football teams globally. Furthermore, the organization has
sponsored some famous football celebrities including Pelé, Johan Cruijff, Enzo Francescoli, Diego
Maradona and Lothar Matthäus. Puma also specializes in fabricating driving shoes and race suits.


Indeed, the company needed a logo design to represent its bold market picture. The first Puma logo
was shaped in 1948. The similar Puma logo is still being used worldwide with little amendments in it.
It delivers a clear notion of solid corporate position by its emblematic icon and brave typeface.


Design Elements of Puma Logo:

Puma logo grips a notion of strong and chic icon with the help of a leaping animal and bold font. A
distinguished impression is immediately cast on the spectator, narrating the kind of image the
company possesses.


Shape of Puma Logo:
As discussed earlier, the Puma logo comprises of a courageous representation. A leaping Puma, an
animal known as cougar, panther or a mountain lion, is highlighted in the Puma logo. This Puma
summarizes the power beast-like nature of the firm and its products. The Puma logo solely
enhances the attributes of the firm’s reliability and its product’s aptitude in the international market.
Color of Puma Logo:
Few innovations have been taking place through the years in Puma logo. However, the identity has
been kept quite similar to the first design brought forward for the firm. Currently, the Puma logo is
wrapped graciously in black hue which depicts immense supremacy and strength of the firm itself.


Font of Puma Logo:
The complete Puma logo is a sign of authority and confidence. Nevertheless, the typeface of the
Puma logo has maintained the same notion throughout its history in the corporate world. The bold
font featured in Puma logo projects the firm’s stability and prominence

Puma history

  • 1. Brand History The history of Puma starts the same as Adidas, but takes a very different turn... -- Rudolph (Rudi) Dassler-- Rudolph (Rudi) and Adolf (Adi) Dassler worked together in the 1920's to produce shoes under the 'Dassler' brand. Dassler shoes were worn during the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games earning Jesse Owens 4 Gold Medals. On top of that fellow wearers of Dassler shoes go on to win a total of 7 Gold and 5 Bronze medals and break 2 world records and 3 Olympic records. CLYDE ARCHIVE CLYDE LIVE STOCK No-one knows for sure what made the two brothers fall out. Several stories exist ranging from an affair between Adi and Rudi's wife, Rudi stealing money from the family business or hurtful comments between the two during air-raids in their hometown of Herzogenaurach. The fact that Adi continued running the family business whilst Rudi was shipped off to an American POW camp must have been the last straw, as when Rudi returned in 1948, he set-up his own company on the other side of the river, taking his loyal staff with him. Puma was born, and with it released the 'Puma Atom', Puma's first football shoe.
  • 2. -- Puma Atom -- Rudi wanted to work on removable football studs, and was aided by national coach Sepp Herberger. FRENCH ARCHIVE FRENCH LIVE STOCK The first post-war goal was produced by Herbert Burdenski, wearing a pair of Puma's shoes in the first football match after WWII. 1952 was a great year for Puma, resulting in Puma's first Olympic Gold Medal, won by Josef Barthel running the 1500m in Helsinki, Finland. -- Joseph Barthel--
  • 3. The Super Atom was produced, and was worn for the first time by top players of the clubs including Horst Eckel and Werner Liebrich who due to their excellent performance, were to become part of the German National team. -- Horst Eckel and Werner Liebrich -- Puma 'Brasil' with screw-in studs were developed and launched and helped Hannover win the German Championships 96 to 1 against FC Kaiserslautern. In 1958, Puma's shoes featuring the signature formstrip were worn for the first time at the World Cup in Sweden. PELE ARCHIVE PELE LIVE STOCK 10 years later, Puma had helped athletes around the world to win: Person/Country Event Year Chile World Cup 1962 Armin Harry 100m 1960 Gaston Roelants 3000m 1964 Mary Rand Long Jump 1964 Abebi Bikila Marathon 1964 Tommie Smith 200m 1968 400m (in 4 x Lee Evants 1968 400m) Willie 100m high 1968 Davenport hurdles Bob Seagren Pole-vault 1968 To cap the year off, Jim Hines became the first man to complete the 100m sprint in less than 10 seconds.
  • 4. -- Jim Hines -- The next 10 years saw equally impressive wins, records and goals and the development of S.P.A technology sports shoes with higher heals to relieve strain on the Achilles tendon. -- Boris Becker -- Armin A Dassler (Rudi's son) invented the DuoFlex sole in 1982 and in 1985 Germany's Boris Becker won Wimbledon wearing Puma shoes and playing with a Puma racket. He's still the youngest and only unseeded player to win this event! A year later, Maradona scores the famous 'Hand of God' goal which was later voted the 'Goal of the Century' by FIFA. SPEED CAT ARCHIVE SPEED CAT LIVE STOCK A few more ranges down the line, and we have Trinomic, Inspector (the Children's shoe with a mid-sole window to see growth) and the high-tech Puma Disc system. In 1993, 'Puma's Fantastic Four' (Heike Drechsler, Merlene Ottey, Linford Christie and Colin Jackson) win Gold medals at the Track and Field Championships in Stuttgart. Puma team Werder Bremen also win the German Football Championship. The wins keep coming with Linford Christie setting 2 indoor sprint records for the 60m (6.47 seconds) and 200m (20.25 seconds) in 1995, Jonathan Edwards gets gold and sets a new world record for triple jump (18.29m).
  • 5. After a year's development, the Puma Cell Football shoe is released in 1997, and is the first to feature cushioning technology without a midsole. -- Puma Cell -- In 2000, Puma launch Platinum their first range of Sport-Fashion wear, and in 2002 together with Serena Williams, Puma unveil the '2002 Serena Williams Tennis Collection'. -- Serena Williams-- Serena goes on to win the French Open wearing a Puma sleeveless tennis dress, and she also wins the US Open wearing a black Puma catsuit. THE BASKET ARCHIVE THE BASKET LIVE STOCK In 2003, Puma and BMW Williams F1 Team sign a multi-year contract, and in 2004 they sign another multi-year contract with the Mild Seven Renault F1 Team a year in which they also become the official supplier of racing shoes to Michael Schumacher. Not content with conquering shoes and clothes for the land, the latest range of Puma Shoes, Apparel and Accessories have been designed with the ocean in mind.
  • 6. -- Il Mostro - Volvo Ocean Race 2008-- October 11, 2008 saw Puma's boat 'Il Mostro' taking part in the Volvo Ocean Race a global race and one of the most demanding team sporting events in the world. Racing between 11 ports, 37,000 nautical miles over nine months. Let's just hope they get back safely to keep selling all that great gear!
