adidas FAQs
Q: Why does adidas have two logos?
A: adidas is known for its iconic branding, and the company primarily uses two main logos—the Trefoil and the 3-Stripes—each representing a different side of the brand. A third mark, the Badge of Sport, also appears on select athletic apparel and footwear.
Trefoil Logo
- The Trefoil, which resembles a three-leaf clover, is used exclusively on adidas Originals products. This line focuses on heritage, lifestyle, and classic designs, celebrating the brand’s roots in sports and culture. You'll often spot the Trefoil on retro sneakers like the Superstar, Gazelle or Stan Smith, as well as lifestyle apparel that blends sport with street style.
3-Stripes Logo
- The 3-Stripes are the most recognized symbol of adidas worldwide. This minimalist design is used across performance and sportswear categories. It's more than just a design choice—the stripes represent a mountain, symbolizing the challenges and goals athletes face. This logo appears on high-performance gear like the Ultraboost, Adizero or Harden Vol. 8 basketball shoes.
Badge of Sport
- The Badge of Sport is a modern, simplified version of the Three Stripes without the adidas wordmark. It’s mainly used across sportswear products and blends performance function with a contemporary aesthetic.

Q: What does adidas mean in German?
A: adidas is not a German word with a literal translation. The name adidas comes from the name of the company's founder, Adolf Dassler. "Adi" is a common nickname for Adolf and "Das" comes from Dassler, his last name. Adi + Das = adidas While some urban legends claim Adidas stands for things like "All Day I Dream About Sports," that’s just a fun backronym and not the true origin.
