Big tick....

At the risk of sounding like a prize bore, here's an interesting snippet for you. You may have been forgiven for thinking that the global sports and fashion brand Nike had just plucked their name out of the air. But no it appears that someone had a bigger brain wave than you may have given them credit for, if indeed you've ever thought about it at all. Nike is a well chosen name because, if you know your mythology, Nike was the Goddess of Victory. She was the Daughter of Pallas, a giant and she's represented as a winged figure holding a palm branch and shield (no swoosh in sight though!) They should get a big tick for that in my book. It's amazing what they know in Christopher Hull Sports shop in Tonbridge High Street.... Sorry we've only got what's out on the shelf, but did you know that Reebok was the Greek God of athletics....
