Title: Apparel Brand Perceptions: An examination of consumers’ perceptions of six athletic apparel brands Abstract Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Kathy Mullet Brands are becoming more relevant in today’s society, especially in order to differentiate among competitors and in the eyes of the consumer. As a result of this relevance, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain a strong brand perception among consumer markets. Therefore, it is fundamental for brands to understand how consumers perceive them and if this aligns with how brands want to be perceived. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the importance of branding and brand perception. An online survey was conducted to determine the perception of six apparel companies regarding ten characteristics.

  • November 16Th 2018 Revealed: the New Mikasa Indoor
    November 16th 2018 Revealed: the new Mikasa indoor volleyball design Cancun, Mexico, 16 November, 2018 - The FIVB and Mikasa Corporation revealed the design of the new “V200W” indoor volleyball in a special ceremony tonight, followed by a celebratory dinner hosted by the FIVB and Mikasa for all delegates attending the 36 th FIVB World Congress in Cancun, Mexico. The V200W features a perfectly balanced, 18-panel aerodynamic design that improves ball movement and gives players greater control. With enhanced visibility, the new indoor ball will optimise the quality of play and maximise excitement on the court. The double-dimpled microfiber surface stabilises the flight path of the ball and creates additional cushioned ball control, whilst the anti-sweat functionality “Nano Balloon Silica” prevents the surface of the ball from becoming slippery during intense play. The ball exceeds the FIVB’s homologation standards and passed stringent testing protocols, carried out by leading national teams and clubs over the last six months. The V200W will make its debut at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball World Cup and replaces the MVA200, which was first used at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. Following the announcement, FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graça F said: “Mikasa has supplied equipment for the FIVB since volleyball was first included on the Olympic Programme at Tokyo’s first Olympic Games in 1964, and the V200W will be the new FIVB official game ball. “Mikasa shares the FIVB’s vision for sporting innovation and I believe that our ongoing relationship will go from strength to strength as we move forward together.” Mikasa President Yuji Saeki said: “Our partnership with the FIVB has formed a fundamental relationship for our organisation for many years, and I am delighted to launch the V200W, which will be seen and used around the world.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nowadays, people tend to purchase and use products that suits their interest and needs, same with sports and daily attires. There are few well-known brands for sport and daily attires, such as Adidas, Nike, Puma, Reebok and much more. In terms of quality, innovation and durability, Adidas keep being on the top as it was expensive but worth the payment. Adidas start small in a small town named Bavaria, Germany and before then, its name was “Gebruder Dassler Schuhfabrik”, embarked on Adi Dassler mission to provide athletes the best attires. Adi Dassler starts from humble steps and become a well-known success story. It’s used by professional athletes back in nineteenth era, for Olympics use, expanding for broader range of users and product lines (History - Adidas Group, n.d.). In 1970s, Adidas was the leading athletic shoe brand sold inside the US. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier were both wearing Adidas boxing shoes in their "Battle of the Century" in 1971. Adidas was named the official supplier for the 1972 Munich Olympic Diversions. In spite of the fact that Adidas still being a strong, well-known brand these days, Adidas' share of the world sports shoe publicizes dropped over a long time, and what began as a German family exchange is directly an organization (Adidas-Salomon AG) combined with the French around the world concern Salomon. In 2004, Adidas bought Valley Clothing Company, a U.S. company that held licenses for outfitting more than 140 U.S. college athletic 1 bunches. In 2005, Adidas detailed that it was procuring the American shoemaker Reebok, which permitted it to compete more particularly with Nike inside the U.S.

  • Can the White Cat Shine Again? the Puma Case By: Antoniya Pavlova Johan Lehmann Luis Ibbeken
    CORPORATE BRAND MANAGEMENT AND REPUTATION MASTER CASES Can the white cat shine again? The Puma Case By: Antoniya Pavlova Johan Lehmann Luis Ibbeken First Edition Student Case Papers 2017 Corporate Brand Management and Reputation: Master’s Cases The “Corporate Brand Management and Reputation: Master’s cases” is a case series for applying the case method of teaching and learning in higher education. The cases are relevant to brand strategists in private and public sector organizations, as well as academics and students at universities, business schools, and executive education. The cases are written by groups of master’s students as a course project. The specially developed case format is defined as: “A management decision case describes a real business situation leading up to a question(s) that requires assessment, analysis, and a decision reached by discussion in class. The alternative approaches and recommendations from the class discussion are followed by a description of the choices made by the case company. This description is then discussed by the class.” The student groups select the topics of their case providing updated and relevant insights into the corporate brand management. The cases can be used as “written cases” (handed out and read in advance, later to be discussed in class) and/or as “live case” (presented by the teacher following a discussion in class). Each case includes teaching notes, visuals with speaker’s notes, learning objectives, board plans, and references. The mission of the series is “to develop cases for discussion providing insights into the theory and practice of corporate brand management and reputation, with the intent of bridging the gap between academic teaching and managerial practice.” The series is a result of co-creation between students and teachers at the elective course Corporate Brand Management (BUSN35 – five-credit course/eight-week half-time studies), part of the master’s program International Marketing and Brand Management at Lund School of Economics and Management, Sweden.

  • ADIDAS ORIGINALS by BRISTOL STUDIO PRESS RELEASE V4
    ADIDAS ORIGINALS AND BRISTOL STUDIO EXPLORE THE INTERPLAY OF SPORT AND FASHION WITH THE SS19 COLLECTION LAUNCH ! ! ! adidas Originals and Bristol Studio unveil the SS19 collaboration featuring footwear and apparel. The street-level tribute to retro basketball culture was inspired by Bristol Studios’ Creative Director, Luke Tadashi’s summers spent in Venice Beach, CA. The nine piece capsule consists of a track jacket, snap pants, hoodie, t-shirt, " length shorts, BYW LVL II sneaker, Adilette slides, socks and a headband. “As kids, my two best friends, MAASAI [Ephriam] and London [Perrantes], and I would ride our bikes through Venice to hoop with the adults in Venice Beach. We’d do this practically every day in the summer, it was our ritual. This collection recaptures that time in our youth,” explains Tadashi. Additionally he explains that "The color story takes inspiration from the colors we would see on our bike rides through Venice: colorful but muted tones. We shot everything on-location, retracing the bike route we took as kids to the courts on the beach. The young kids who modeled the collection are all family, related to either Luke, MAASAI or London." Collection highlights: - Track Jacket: Inspired by past adidas pieces, which used three-stripe blocking, Bristol Studio and adidas Originals blended the past with the future by creating the first-ever three-stripe trim along the sleeves, crafted from threading a zig-zag stitch over PVC trim. - Snap Pants: Bristol Studio and adidas Originals blended the past with the future by creating the first ever three-stripe trim along the legs.

  • Taking a Closer Look at the Moral Fabric of Athletic Footwear an INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
    Taking a Closer Look at the Moral Fabric of Athletic Footwear AN INDUSTRY ANALYSIS © 2020 Center for a Humane Economy. All Rights Reserved. SUMMARY Signicant developments in plant-based fabrics, plastics, and other synthetic products have spurred a sharp reduction in the amount of leather in footwear in the last decade, particularly in athletic shoes. The total number of shoes containing leather has declined by tens of millions in recent years. When you hear the name Stella McCartney, you might initially think of a high-end fashion show with models striding down the runway, cameras clicking, from New York to Paris to Milan. McCartney is also known for items suited to a dierent kind of runway — the track and eld kind. Her latest collection of shoes and athletic wear for adidas launched in March 2009, marking over a decade of collaboration between the fashion icon and the tness powerhouse. McCartney’s athletic wear line does not just strive for good-looking apparel. It’s also animal-friendly. Her line shuns leather, fur, feathers, wool, or other animal products. The McCartney brand equals cruelty-free. Adding to the sustainability credentials of these products, about 70 % of the fabrics McCartney uses come from recycled materials. Last year adidas released a cruelty-free shoe assembled with heat rather than glue that also addresses the international disposal of millions of pairs headed for landlls. According to Eric Leidtke, adidas’ executive board member responsible for global brands, “Futurecraft Loop is [the] rst running shoe that is made to be remade.” The key to its recyclability is the shoe’s design, which utilizes only a single ingredient – thermoplastic polyurethane – rather than the typical 12-15 materials which make recycling so dicult.
