PUMA SUPPORTS A GREENER RIDE
PUMA’s football teams on
the hunt for Glory
Last night, PUMA Club Borussia Dortmund thrilled
the world with a devastating display of attacking
football in the first leg of the UEFA Champions
League semi-final against the legendary Spanish
club Real Madrid. After an incredible performance
that delighted fans (and club partners), BVB won
4-1 following four goals from Robert Lewandowski
– the first time one player has scored four goals
in a European Cup semi-final in the history of the
competition. Dortmund is in excellent shape to
become the first PUMA team ever to make the final
of the Champions League, in what looks like an all
German affair following Bayern Munich’s earlier
demolition of FC Barcelona.
Some may say this success was written in the stars, after the football miracle in Dortmund only two weeks earlier. The team showed
incredible spirit to comeback with two goals in injury time against Malaga. The second leg will be played in Madrid on Tuesday, April
30th. Fingers crossed! Another PUMA club that is on the chase for a title win is VfB Stuttgart, who made it to the final of Germany’s cup
‘DFB-Pokal’. Before they can lift the trophy though, the team will have to beat this season’s Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on
June 1st. Other teams however have already brought great success this season. Congratulations go to Greek Superleague winners
Olympiacos FC, who finished an extraordinary season with only one (!) loss throughout the whole season. Further excitement within
the PUMA family was caused by the English club Cardiff City FC that after 51 long suffering years have finally earned the rights to
compete in the Premier League again. Chapeau guys! Hats off to you all!
In future, you could change trains
without stopping at a station
but rather by getting on and off
through a clever docking system as they
race along.
Paul Priestman, designer and cofounding
Director of Priestmangoode,
explained this and other innovations
during the Third Annual PUMA Design
Lecture in February at the Design
Museum in London.
