KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Department of Homeland Security executed a cease-and-desist order and confiscated “Take the Crown” underwear Tuesday afternoon.
The garments were not licensed by Major League Baseball.
Agents told the artist and the owner of the boutique in the Crossroads that the K and C were connected on the underwear which meant she couldn’t sell them. They also briefly handcuffed the man who printed the underwear.
“It’s a lot to co-own a small lingerie store and feel like a criminal for printing crowns and KC on blue, cotton, American-made underwear,” Birdie’s owner Peregrine Honig said. “It seems like a lot.”
Whether it’s official merchandise or official tickets, everyone is on the lookout. Police were also at The K investigating counterfeit tickets.
