Adidas makes brand boo-boo

Woopise, Adidas has made a pretty big mistake during the winter olympics. 30 German skiers have donned Belgiums flag as someone at Adidas made a mistake when ordering the caps. Instead of horizontal stripes they got vertical stripes, and presto you've swapped the land of Bratwurst for the land of fries.
"If you just had a short look they look the same. And for the first few days no one realised." said Jan Runau in a statement sent out from Adidas "we apologise." he also added that new caps had been ordered and were on their way.
The ironic thing is of course, that Adidas is a German company. You'd think they knew their own flag. ;)
