Earlier today, LaVar Ball announced the release of his son’s new signature sneaker the Z02 which was quickly lambasted by the Internet for its ridiculous $495 price tag.
After the announcement, Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith called out LaVar for ripping off his logo for Zone 6, a nickname for the Ohio State receivers.

Smith went on to switch is Twitter bio to say “designer of Lonzo Ball’s logo”
While I think there are some similarities kinda feel like coach is reaching here.
