A fan is suing the Patriots Hall of Fame for allegedly damaging a Tom Brady–signed American flag, claiming that improper displaying techniques faded the quarterback’s signature and devalued the flag by up to $1 million.
Daniel Vitale, the plaintiff, is reportedly seeking damages, interest and cost for the Hall of Fame’s breach of contract and its fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, according to the lawsuit obtained by Yahoo Sports and TMZ Sports. The monetary amount was not disclosed.
The rare flag flew at Foxboro Stadium in 2001, the same year Brady became New England’s starting quarterback.
