The overwhelming response from fans shows clear disapproval of Mamdani's unauthorized logo use. Social media erupted with criticism as passionate supporters rallied behind their beloved franchise.
The legal implications weren't lost on fans either. One user commented: "Using a team's logo without permission? That's a legal slam dunk". The comparison to basketball terminology highlighted how clear-cut the intellectual property violation appeared to many observers.
Questions about authenticity dominated the conversation as well. One Knicks fan stated: "He was tryna act like this big time Knicks fan, people saw right through it he knows nothing about sports". This comment suggested many supporters felt the campaign move was inauthentic pandering rather than genuine fandom.
Not everyone was critical; some added humor. One user said: "He's getting this knicks fan's vote! Go Knicks." The harshest reactions called for permanent consequences. One user commented, "Good! I hope the Knicks don't let him into MSG!" This statement reflected fans' protective nature toward their team's brand and legacy.
