Ohio State WRs coach convinced Big Baller Brand stole his logo
So by now, you’ve seen LaVar Ball’s new Big Baller Brand sneaker for his son, NBA draft prospect Lonzo Ball.
The ZO2 sneaker, which were released on Thursday, are on sale for the low price of $495.
In case you haven’t seen them, here’s a look:
Not seen in that photo is the logo Big Baller Brand used on the new signature sneakers.
Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith, who nicknamed his group “Zone 6,” couldn’t help but notice the logo on the ZO2:

Smith might have a point. Look at his logo:

That led to Smith firing off 100-plus tweets/retweets about Ball’s allegedly theft his logo.
That also led to Smith changing his bio:

Smith might got any royalties from Big Baller Brand, but based on the way the internet trashed the new sneakers, he might not be missing out on very much.
