Nike formally submitted a countersuit against new LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard following the player’s own lawsuit against the company last month over the use and ownership of the "Klaw" logo that was developed and used during Leonard's time as part of Jordan Brand. "In this action, Kawhi Leonard seeks to re-write history by asserting that he created the 'Claw Design' logo, but it was not Leonard who created that logo," Nike stated, per ESPN. "The 'Claw Design' was created by a talented team of NIKE designers, as Leonard, himself, has previously admitted. Speaking of Nike, James Madison Athletics entered into a partnership with Nike through BSN SPORTS.
