George made the reveal amidst the recent Banter podcast alongside Karl Jacobs and Sapnap. The trio had invited Twitch queen Pokimane for a fruitful conversation about her life, controversies, career, and a lot more. Surprisingly, the episode turned out to be one of their best, as fans were happy to learn interesting facts about Pokimane’s life. However, there was a certain moment that stunned them all, as they never saw it coming their way. 

During the conversation with Pokimane, Banter podcast co-host GeorgeNotFound revealed the time an NYC brand sued him for using a similar in-game cosmetic that resembled their logo. 

GeorgeNotFound recalls the time ‘Supreme’ got him into troubled waters over his Minecraft skin

There was a time when GeorgeNotFound was selling his Minecraft skin to users. They were styled by wearing simple clothing such as hoodies, T-shirts, pants, etc. However, all of them had a certain logo that helped them stand out of the pack, showing the exclusivity of the GeorgeNotFound skin.

Sadly, there was a massive similarity between the logo to a clothing brand which turned things around. Apparently, GeorgeNotFound’s logo looked far similar to Supreme, the NYC apparel giant.

It had a box with a red outline, with some faded text written inside – just like Supreme has. So, the brand felt a misuse of the logo. As a result, they almost sued the Minecraft pro for selling thousands of them without credit or approval.

George recalled this moment, revealing it to Pokimane, Karl, and Sapnap. “You know my Minecraft skin has the Little Red Box on it. And so I sold much that they had it and you know what do you can you think of a brown that has a little red box Supreme okay so it was very similar to it was like a very similar font very similar,” he said. 

MrBeast joined the parade in promoting the merchandise

Initially, things were normal, as GeorgeNotFound had limited his skins to viewers. However, MrBeast and Karl did a video for BeastPhilanthrophy, giving away GeorgeNotFound’s merchandise.
