NEW YORK (AP) -A Web site selling “Obama” T-shirts using the typefaces of Major League Baseball teams closed after drawing attention from the sport’s lawyers.
“We sent a cease-and-desist letter for violating our trademark,” baseball spokesman Rich Levin said Tuesday.
Morris Levin, a supporter of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, operated www.obamaofdreams.com and said he shut down the site March 4. He said he stopped sales on that date.
“I started the site as a fun way to show support for Sen. Obama, and I’m a big Phillies fan,” he said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “I did not make any profit on this, and I think that Major League Baseball has a fantastic product of which I am a big consumer.”
The closure was first reported by www.thesmokinggun.com.
