A fact from Karhu (sports brand) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 August 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Karhu Sports sold the three stripes trademark to Adidas for the equivalent of 1600 euros and two bottles of whiskey?
"Karhu Sports" isn't a company nor a brand. Karhu is a brand name, which is owned by a Dutch company Karhu Holding BV, which also manufactures Karhu-branded shoes. Karhu Ski, a Finnish company, makes skis using the same Karhu brand, and Appleby Finland Oy, another Finnish company, produces "Karhu Sportswear". So we have three companies producing three different kind of products under the same brand.
I propose that this article be moved to something like "Karhu (sports brand)", and rewritten to focus on the history of the brand. The corporation infobox might not be appropriate here. Separate articles can then be written about the companies Karhu Holding BV and Karhu Ski, if someone wants to. Cpastern (talk) 18:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
M-logo
In the 1960s Karhu began to use the M-logo,[1] which is still in use on Karhu shoes
