Frank Thomas Sues White Sox Over Jersey Use
Description
Frank Thomas, the Chicago White Sox legend, has filed a lawsuit against the team and its partners, accusing them of using his name and number on new City Connect jerseys without his permission or payment. The suit claims this violates the Illinois Right of Publicity Act, with sales starting in April 2025. Thomas is seeking $50,000 plus legal fees. The case comes at a challenging time for the Sox, who are trying to rebound after their worst season ever in 2024. Thomas and the organization have history, with public spats including a feud with a former general manager and a lawsuit against team doctors in 2006. This latest fight raises questions about their future ties as the Sox push to turn things around on and off the field.
