Nike cancels UNDEFEATED Collection for logo plagiarism

You'd better not fight with the U.S. Navy, it is a right mommy advice that Nike followed.
After receiving an onslaught of backslash for their “The Fives” collection in collaboration with UNDEFEATED -  which bore striking similarities to the U.S. Naval Academy’s crest design - the Swoosh announced that the World Cup-inspired collection has been canceled.

U.S. Naval Academy is one of the most prestigious military academies of the USA, based in Annapolis, Maryland. The problem with Nike x UNDEFEATED collection was the logo, that is actually almost identical. The crest intended for The Fives collection features the same dual columns and surrounding embellishments, but Undefeated's logo was placed in the center of the crest and a trophy with the Nike's swoosh was added to the top.

On Thursday, the USNA announced that it was sending a cease and desist to Nike and UNDEFEATED for trademark infringement. “The similarities of the Nike/UNDEFEATED logo released this week and the USNA Crest are undeniable and we believe their logo is clearly an infringement under trademark law,” the Academy wrote on Twitter.

On Friday, Nike responded with a written statement apologizing to the USNA. “We recently were made aware of our logo being included into a design that has been previously used by one of our longstanding partners,” Nike said in the statement, according to the Washington Post. “We have always respected the US Navy and its Academy and have been a longtime supporter of the military.” Nike furthermore announced that its UNDEFEATED collection, which was slated for release on June 16, has been canceled. “We do not feel it is appropriate to move forward with the collection. We apologize to anyone who was offended.”
