Trailblazing Harlem Globetrotter sues over pricey hoodie, sweats
A gold medal-winning Olympian and historic Harlem Globetrotter claims she’s been dunked on by an NYC business that sold pricey hoodies and sweatsuits in her name — and cut her out of the profits.
Hall of Famer Lynette Woodard, who became the first woman to play for the famed Globetrotters in 1985, said in a lawsuit that no one got her permission to slap her name on $150 hoodies and $100 sweats peddled by a company called Undrcrwn.

The Globetrotters and the company “never sought [Woodard’s] consent because they knew [she] would not give it for free,” she said in the Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit.
The 65-year-old, 6-foot-tall guard, who captained the gold medal-winning US Olympic team in 1984 in Los Angeles, said the offending products were sold between 2021 and 2024 and are still available on the secondary market.
The two-time All-American at the University of Kansas who is also the all-time leading scorer in women’s college basketball is seeking unspecified damages.
Woodard also played in the inaugural season of the WNBA for the Cleveland Rockers.
Undrcrwn and the Globetrotters did not respond to messages seeking comment.
