Adidas Isn't Happy About Tesla's Old Model 3 Logo
Take a look at the Model 3 logo above. Remind you of anything? According to Adidas, it’s a little too reminiscent of its own ‘three bar’ motif that appears on its logo and is used extensively on the clothing it produces.
Engadget reports that Adidas filed a legal challenge over the Model 3 logo as it is “likely to cause confusion”. Adidas justified its position due to Tesla’s plans to put the logo on various pieces of merchandise including clothing.
The dispute gets particularly interesting when you find out that Tesla already dropped the three bar logo a few weeks ago, switching to a numeric ‘3’. Sure enough, a quick peruse of Tesla’s own website shows the change has taken effect.
Speaking to Engadget, Tesla insisted dropping its application for the three bar logo was an internal branding decision, rather than anything to do with Adidas’ complaint.

I thought anything Adidas today had the weed logo. Maybe it’s just here in America.
I always thought it was a push block for sprinting…
Or whatever those pushoff things are…
that’s the logo for adidas original
They use both of them.
I’ve always mistook Adidas Original for Daewoo XD
I guess slavs will now drive teslas instead of golfs and 318D.
Rich Slavs maybe.
Ои блин, i need to get tesla really quick so i can rush b cука блять in style
I checked your statement and found out that two of my three sweat pants are from Adidas. So, you’re right.
The new blyatmobile
Tesla’s attempt to be slav.
Technically speaking he WAS a Slav :D
How about Suzuki? Looks more similar
sssssssh
Beat me to it!
Suzuki’s defence would be that it’s actually inspired by the SC100 Whizzkid of the late 70’s….actually, plot twist; Suzuki could sue adidas for copying the Whizzkid’s rear vents in their logo xD!
That’s not a logo though
What are they worrying about? That people be like ‘oh no, i bought a brand new tesla instead of some sneakers’
I hate when that happens
Oh what the f*. How will people get confused between a car and a shoe brand?! Also, the 3 and the in the Tesla logo look the same anyway.
How on earth would Adidas think that the 2 logos look similar?
To me… they’re totally different. Someone at Adidas must be bored.
Or blind
Adidas is defined by the 3 stripes, it’s not a matter of the logo as such. The 3 stripes are a bigger symbol of Adidas than the logo.

So Tesla is wearable car?
