The former owner of Modell's Sporting Goods shut down a website selling Knicks-themed merchandise one week after launch. The action followed a cease-and-desist letter from the current owner citing trademark and contract issues.

The former owner told a reporter he started the site shortly after the Knicks won an NBA championship. He said he removed the site and launched a replacement called mitchymos.com that sells shirts tied to U.S. soccer and Philadelphia.
Cease-and-desist letter The current owner, through Omni Retail Enterprises, accused the former owner of trademark infringement and unfair competition. The letter also stated that the former owner had violated a non-disclosure agreement. The former owner, whose great-grandfather founded the business in 1889, attempted to buy the brand back in 2024 and again late last year.
