Umbro Zyklon
Originally Launched: 1999
Reason for Controversy: Name
In 2002, Jewish groups condemned Umbro for their?Zyklon?trainers. The name closely resembled that of Zyklon B, a lethal gas used by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Umbro changed the name of the shoe and expressed their regret for the unintentionally offensive title.
