"The well-known trefoil (sometimes called clover) logo used by adidas is said to have come from the motif of the laurel crown given to the winners of sporting festivals in ancient Greece. The crown represent the Olympic spirit and the pursuit of victory."

I think that might have been started as a possibility by someone who was smoking some Marijuana because the Adidas logo only slightly resembles a marijuana leaf and resembles a Canadian Maple leaf as much as a marijuana leaf.

Do you think it looks similar?

I think its just a rumor.

NO !! They do not even come close I don't think. Look at the edges of the marijuana leaf they are all zigzagged and the Adidas is completely straight edged.

I'm sure that it's not, it doesn't look like one. Interesting point of view though!
