Briefing: Thomas sues White Sox for using name on jersey

Editorial Staff · 1 min read

Frank Thomas, a Hall of Fame player, has taken legal action against the Chicago White Sox regarding the use of his name and likeness.

The lawsuit centers on the City Connect 2.0 uniforms that were introduced last season, which Thomas alleges feature his likeness without permission.

This case raises important questions about intellectual property rights in sports merchandising and the implications for player branding.
