The New York Knicks have issued Democratic socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a cease-and-desist letter for using their iconic logo in a campaign advertisement — and stressed that the team does “not endorse Mr. Mamdani for Mayor.”
The advertisement aired during the Knicks season opener Wednesday night and featured an altered New York Knicks orange and blue logo that replaced the word “Knicks” with “Zohran.”
The cease-and-desist letter, obtained by The Post, states that Mamdani’s ad is “likely to mislead the public into believing that the Campaign is affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by, or in some way connected with the Knicks.”
Zohran Mamdani’s ad aired during the Knicks season opener Wednesday night and featured an altered version of the iconic orange and blue logo.
