| This isn't the logo the Yanks are being sued over, this was created by Louis B Tiffany in 1877. |
According to CNN New York resident Tanit Buday, is suing the Yankees claiming that her uncle was the one who created the Yankees logo and was never paid for it. The logo that is in question is not the famous interlocking NY, but rather the use of the top hat and bat. The famous interlocking NY was created in 1877 by Louis B. Tiffany, while the Yankees cursive writing with a baseball behind it was created by Henry Keller in 1947.

Honestly this is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of. It sounds like this woman is not upset because her uncle never received credit but it sounds as if she is out for a big pay day. I really don't understand how someone could sue after such a long period, but I guess that's what makes those laws so tricky.
If they didn't pay the guy then they certainly owe something... and the interest on that somthing is sure going to add up after this many years. But how does one prove that they paid someone or how does one prove they were not paid after so many years? It seems a bit kooky.
