Australian apparel brand sues Nets, NBA, Nike over ‘Coogi’ uniforms
Coogi, the Australian apparel brand, is suing the Nets, NBA and Nike, claiming the three didn’t have proper authorization to market Brooklyn’s popular ”Brooklyn Camo” uniforms that pay tribute to Biggie Smalls, aka Notorious B.I.G., the Clinton Hill rapper who popularized the brand before being murdered in 1972.
TMZ first broke the news.
The Nets black uniforms were trimmed with a pattern that was reminiscent of Coogi’s signature knitwear. The team is wearing them 16 times this season and more than one Nets player would like to see them worn even more often. Part of the NBA’s City Edition alternatives, the uniforms have proved popular with the fans as well as the players.
