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.

Xiao Xiao
[edit]Over the years, Nike has been involved in various copyright and patent law disputes. The article contained this:
===Xiao Xiao lawsuit=== Around 2002, Nike launched a stickman ad campaign that showed a stick figure playing sports against real sports celebrities. The Chinese graphics designer [[Zhu Zhiqiang]] believed the figure to copy his [[Xiao Xiao]], the hero of the same named Flash animation series, and sued Nike. The company was ordered in December 2004 to pay 300,000 Chinese Yuan (around $36,000) and issue a public apology to Zhu. Nike appealed and won the case in June 2006 in the [[Beijing High People's Court]], as Nike's figure design was found to be distinct enough from Xiao Xiao. Zhu was ordered to pay more than 40,000 Chinese Yuan in legal fees.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2006-06-17|title=Beijing court rules in favor of Nike in animation lawsuit|url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/worldbiz/archives/2006/06/17/2003314101|access-date=2023-11-18|website=www.taipeitimes.com}}</ref>
It is perhaps UNDUE attention to this one example. It would be better to have a section describing the various lawsuits by and against Nike. There are far bigger cases that could be mentioned instead (e.g. Adidas vs Nike and Nike vs BAPE). Polygnotus (talk) 20:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
