Take the crown take down
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Department of Homeland Security executed a cease-and-desist order and confiscated “Take the Crown” underwear Tuesday afternoon.

The garments were not licensed by Major League Baseball.

Agents told the artist and the owner of the boutique in the Crossroads that the K and C were connected on the underwear which meant she couldn’t sell them. They also briefly handcuffed the man who printed the underwear.

RELATED: Cracking down on counterfeit World Series tickets, apparel

The owner thought it was a little unfair.

“It’s a lot to co-own a small lingerie store and feel like a criminal for printing crowns and KC on blue, cotton, American-made underwear,” Birdie’s owner Peregrine Honig said. “It seems like a lot.”

Whether it's official merchandise or official tickets, everyone is on the lookout. Police were also at The K investigating counterfeit tickets.

You'd have to alter the crown, but that's as easy as connecting the dots to the crown's body.

When they talk about making us secure, they mean making everything secure.

For trademark infringement? I thought that was handled via lawsuits and SS handled financial financial crimes like counterfeit of currency, false identification, credit and debit card fraud etc.

Overall, the shirt isn't too bad. They'll be on sale at the Museum and other places around town this week including the Bunker and Hall's.

Nicely done! Rep.

It's gross!

That's a start but not necessarily. People can get into all kinds of degrees of changing something up to be different, but in the end the test is if it can be confused as being the original owner's design. It's just not always that easy to figure. I've seen lawyers used by firms to clear a case yet their client still wound up being sued. I have given talks on this to designers and artists at schools.

The other thing is if the original owner has to enforce the matter to protect it as well. That's why you see the goons out.

Well, you know we're in trouble when the bureau of land management has SWAT teams.

Well you can't just make merchandise with the team's logo on it and sell it yourself.

However, DHS being in charge of copyright infringement =
