Same brand, new identity
1996-2016
Cross-country legend Bjørn Dæhlie pushed the limits of his sport in the 1990s. He raked in Olympic medals and world championships. He established his eponymous brand in 1996, at the height of his career. For 20 years, we have developed innovative and optimized clothing for cross-country skiers.
Now we are entering a new phase.
“We celebrate our anniversary by looking forward. We take advantage of our unique market position and long experience with cross-country clothing to develop innovative apparel for endurance activities. At this point we are taking DÆHLIE into new arenas. To everyone’s arena”, says Linda Linnebo, Marketing Director, DÆHLIE Sportswear.

It’s time for a new brand expression that visualizes our values and strategy for the future. Bjørn Dæhlie’s signature logo is replaced by a new, bold and more technical symbol and our brand name is simplified to DÆHLIE. The new logo is aimed at reaching a younger consumer group and it’s also customized for a digital era. In addition to our logo, you will find an extensive use of the diagonal shape and pattern. This identity element symbolizes our proactive attitude and our high focus on performance. The brand colors are black, white and vibrant orange. White represents snow, black symbolizes high performance and orange embodies our urge to always do better. The new brand identity with its clean design emphasizes our goals for the future: To pursue perfection and maximize performance. When using your next DÆHLIE item, we hope you will enjoy the new look and experience our dedication to detail and design.
A new generation of athletes is ready to continue the legacy. DÆHLIE is the proud official supplier for the Norwegian Cross-Country Ski Team. A team filled with Bjørn Dæhlie’s successors, some of the very best female and male athletes of today. “I am honored that these fine athletes want to cooperate with us to develop the best products for the best performance. I am sure they will take DÆHLIE to further outstanding victories”, says brand founder Bjørn Dæhlie.
In this we continue the champion’s attitude and ideals as well as our Norwegian skiing heritage.
Brand founder Bjørn Dæhlie’s guts, integrity and focus on results made him one of the most successful winter Olympians of all times. It is this passion that enables us to dress up a new generation of winning athletes
