message: What does this mean: "In 2006, Reebok licensed Jean-Michel Basquiat; there have been three collaborations to date."?  I assume they don't mean that they issued JMB a Reebok license.  They licensed his art, or his likeness, they can't have licensed him, he's a person and he's been dead for 20 years.  What does the rest of the section mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.82.163 (talk) 00:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I have changed the part @ the top of the Article that states the company was founded in Canton USA in 1858, don't know were this came from, but the articles was contradicting it's self as it said that in the start of the article, and then stated in the company round up that it was founded in Bolton UK in 1895. I looked @ Reebok's website and it confirms that the company was started in the UK, in 1895 (perhaps why the shoes have a Union Jack on them). It does say that ansestor company J.W. Foster and Sons was started in 1895, but Reebok itslef was started in Canton in 1958, so perhaps that's were the confusion came from. Yakacm (talk) 08:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins 

message: From the article: "It allegedly caused the lead poisoning death of a 4-year-old child who swallowed it."
What?! If a Reebok pendant killed a 4 year old, this 'alleged' incident would be easy to find. There would be a coroner's report, a media frenzy, and a HUGE lawsuit.
Surprise, surprise, said incident IS easy to find. The US CDC has publicly available articles on the incident, as does the US Consumer Products Safety Commision.
Oh well, what else can one expect from a million lazy nerdy disaffected monkeys on typewriters. The article might as well have said "I heard some kid died from eating a Reebok charm, but couldn't be bothered looking it up, because while I'm active enough to edit Wikipedia, I'm too lazy and stupid to perform simple searches".
WIKIPEDIA IS GARBAGE, PEOPLE, AND IT'S GETTING WORSE! GIVE UP ON IT NOW!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.63.98 (talk) 07:48, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Reebok sponsers the CrossFit Games. I'm not sure how to put this in the sponsers sections. It's not a "team" and it's not a "country". It's a international competition.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by War (talk • contribs) 16:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sponsership - Crossfit 

message: For a brand with such a strong history in the UK (even using the Union Jack as part of it's logo), this article seems too based on recent events. Two or three sentences in the first section does not suffice in describing the company's origin. --69.124.112.126 (talk) 07:37, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The German Wik site says that R had a bad history of using sweatshops and/but that now it is active in the area of human rights.  If any of this is correct, it deserves mention in our article.  Kdammers (talk) 07:25, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

message: The present state of the sponsorship section violates Wikipedia policies:
# MOS:FLAG–national flags should only be used when an athelete is representing a national organization. 
# WP:PROMO–a cut and paste list from the Reebok web site, without any meaningful prose.
I will update accordingly. Flibirigit (talk) 15:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sponsorship section 

message: Hi All,
As a Reebok HQ employee, I am updating the Reebok logo to represent the 2019 Vector logo update. The all black logo version is the image Reebok corporate has defined as the primary logo to be represented on Wikipedia and Reebok.com. See PR article below.
https://news.reebok.com/global/latest-news/all/reebok-unifies-under-one-logo--one-wordmark/s/e3f32cff-6241-47cb-a1c1-1b8704dc4afc
There are many color way versions of this logo but the all black is preferred as the primary logo for Wikipedia by the Reebok Corporate HQ.

message: I have undone several edits over the last few months that try to label this company as British or English.  Reebok was purchased by American interests in 1985 and has been owned by Adidas, a German company, since 2005.  While it was founded in England, it is not an English company today.  Please refrain from adding such descriptors unless they are properly cited by independent sources.  162 etc. (talk) 06:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
