BOSTON -- A Massachusetts company has filed a lawsuit against Nike and the Basketball Hall of Fame, claiming the company has been cut out of the sportswear business related to Michael Jordan's upcoming Hall induction.
SportsFuzion, of Westwood, claims plans by Nike and the Hall of Fame for a line of Jordan sportswear violate a contract SportsFuzion says gave it exclusive licensing rights to the Hall of Fame's logos, trademarks, designs and photos for use in sportswear.
Nike is expected to release its Air Jordan Hall of Fame collection this summer, ahead of Jordan's induction into the Hall of Fame in September.
The lawsuit seeks damages of more than $10 million.
Representatives for Nike and the Hall of Fame did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
