    Sorry, I forget that this is a global site sometimes and I didn't give a lot of context. So both designs feature the same player from the same American football team (The Seahawks) I've been selling my design since September. The Seahawks have done very well this season and are getting a lot of visibility nationally. Because of this, my tees have been selling very well. I suspect Nike saw the design, swiped it and hit me with the C&D. Their design was released last week, I received the notice Monday.

    I know as a small indie company I just have to take the kick to the nuts. Just wanted to vent on here to fellow artists/designers as I've heard of this happening before. Thanks for the kind words and advice from (most) of you.
    cheers

    • To be honest, your design isn't that original. Could be coincidence.freedom
