Print |. A A. Nike Inc. won an eight-year deal to make uniforms for the National Basketball Association, taking over an Adidas AG contract that runs out in 2017. Nike will become the first apparel partner to have its logo appear on all on-court uniform designs, according to a statement Wednesday.
Nike had been started as Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964 and had been distributing Japanese-made sneakers in the U.S. But it was poised to start designing and making its own shoes out of a plant in Mexico. In 1972, the company first began selling shoes with the Nike name, named after the Greek goddess of victory. The company adopted the name for all its operations in 1978. As for Ms Davidson's swoosh, Phil Knight had said, 'Well, I don't love it, but maybe it will grow on me'.
