The Knicks have fired off a “cease and desist” letter to America-hating state Senate candidate Aber Kawas, threatening to slap her with a lawsuit for ripping a page out of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s playbook and using the NBA champs’ iconic logo to boost her campaign, The Post has learned.
Kawas – a Mamdani-backed, Democratic Socialist of America member who once described 9/11 as a terror attack that a “couple of people did” – tried to win over voters by using a doctored version of the Knicks logo on social media posts and campaign stickers throughout her primary run, which ended with her clinching the Democratic nomination for a Queens state Senate seat on Tuesday.
Bryan N. Warner, senior vice president and head of legal for Madison Square Garden Sports, sent the letter to Kawas’ campaign Friday night “demand[ing]” it “immediately remove all promotional materials incorporating Knicks Intellectual Property, including but not limited to the unauthorized Advertisements, and cease any further use of Knicks Intellectual Property.”
“Neither the Knicks nor NBA [Properties] have authorized the Campaign to use Knicks Intellectual Property in any way, including the Unauthorized Advertisements, which are 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,” he wrote in the letter exclusively obtained by The Post.
“The Campaign’s activities in this regard constitute, among other things, trademark infringement, trademark dilution, false advertising, false association, and unfair competition.”
Kawas’ shameless bid to use the Knicks success and popularity for her own benefit includes a June 20 campaign message on X – posted a week after the Knicks won their first NBA Finals championship in 53 years.

""I Voted for Aber Kawas” stickers feature the same font, orange-and-blue colors, and basketball as the Knicks logo."
"Bryan N. Warner, senior vice president and head of legal for Madison Square Garden Sports, wrote a letter to Kawas’ campaign, “demand[ing]” it “immediately remove all promotional materials incorporating Knicks Intellectual Property."
I HATE that they will win. Glad the Knicks called her out.
Its ironic seeing these commies trying to grift off the Knicks, whose players make 50+ million a year, of course these players would NOT support Communism, ya think they want their money taken from them
What do the Knicks care? Most of them snubbed the national anthem
Creeps.
“ these players would NOT support Communism”
No. They do mumble something during their snubbing of the national anthem though. I can imagine it’s nothing pro American. Bums
Well Wemby didbt put his hand over his heart but he’s French so I wouldnt expect him to, besides I doubt he will be showing his face anytime soon
No he didn’t actually
