Footballers are not known for their intelligence but FC Bayern Munich's latest recruit Mario Gotze managed to breach even that low standard and nearly ignite a brand war as a result. The 21-year-old showed up at his official presentation to the club wearing a Nike t-shirt. Nothing wrong with that except that rival sportswear brand Adidas happens to be Bayern Munich's official shirt sponsor and a stakeholder too. The club confirmed that it had apologised to the sports manufacturer but not before Adidas had expressed its discontent on the issue.
