US EditionKnicks Tell Mamdani to Stop Using Team Logo in Campaign Ad
- The New York Knicks sent a cease-and-desist to Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayoral candidate, over his use of a team-like logo and stressed they do not endorse him.
- Mamdani's campaign ad featured a New York Knicks-style logo modified to 'Zohran' with dramatic basketball footage and a trailer-style voiceover, airing during the Knicks season-opener and posted from Madison Square Garden.
- With voters headed to the polls on Nov. 4, Mamdani remains the front-runner, and the controversy surfaced less than two weeks before Election Day.
- The Independent contacted Mamdani's representatives and he did not respond to requests for comment, while the Knicks' letter warned the campaign is likely to mislead the public about affiliation.
- President Donald Trump privately told allies on Thursday he believes Mamdani is unbeatable, while observers said Curtis Sliwa dropping out would likely offer Andrew Cuomo little advantage.
