Overview

• Swifties and other social media users allege Kai Trump’s interlocking KT monogram closely mirrors Travis Kelce’s TK symbol used for Tru Kolors in collaboration with American Eagle.
• Kai promoted the line with photos and video shot on White House grounds, and the administration said such images are permitted and do not constitute a government endorsement.
• Her site launched $130 sweatshirts through a pre-order model, and a post on the brand’s Instagram said the presale has now ended.
• Neither Kelce nor American Eagle has issued a public statement, and American Eagle told WWD it would not be commenting.
• Legal experts quoted by WWD differed on whether the lookalike monograms pose a trademark issue, and no legal action has been reported.
