*Kanye West‘s Yeezy clothing company was hit with a trademark lawsuit over its new camouflage print.
According to TMZ, Jordan Outdoor Enterprises filed a lawsuit against the rapper-turned-designer’s label on Thursday, claiming that its camo print is an unauthorized copy of their Realtree collection.
The pattern was used as a part of West’s Season 5 line for hoodies, bomber jackets, shirts, cargo pants and thigh-high boots. LeBron James’ brand, Unknwn, is also named in the lawsuit for selling the Yeezy camo items.
In court documents obtained by People, Jordan states that a Yeezy rep reached out to Jordan in March 2016 with inquiries about their camouflage design. However, communication between the brands ceased after the subject of licensing was brought up by Jordan, according to the lawsuit.
Jordan is also accusing Yeezy of removing its trademarks from the original camo print without official license or authorization prior to copying.
Along with demanding a trial by jury, Jordan is seeking damages as well as the destruction of all remaining items of clothing using the print.
The lawsuit comes after Kardashian West confirmed the full collection for Yeezy season 7, including apparel and shoes, will be available “online soon.”
