What happened to these old brands from the 80s?

[scroobal]

I remember one Indian and his Chinese wife ran a small shop in Queensway and subsequently bagged the sole distributorship for Umbro. He made it big and began sponsoring football clubs. Not sure what happened to him.

How about benson and hedges
555

still have?

At one time cig brands were put on clothing to bypass the ad ban.
Later they couldn't even but their names but only the logos.
That's how camel active brand started. Always wondered if Dunhill was related to the cigs or not. Or the other way around like Cartier cigarettes

Last time animal motif as brands very popular.

Lacoste (croc)
Baleno (whale)
Australian (kangaroo)
Munsingwear (penguin)
Puma (puma)
Le Coq sportif (rooster)

In the early 80s when it was still Italian owned, Giodano's motif was a toad (frog?)

not sure about dunhill but i think benson will soon travel the way salem did - nowadays known as mevius. marlboro remains strong.

Yes a frog.
Some brands now also like A&F's moose
