New York Fuckery Buttery Soft Tee

“New York Fuckery” takes the city’s chaos and stamps it into a metallic silver seal you can wear — a parody of officialdom that got a little too real. The original drop sparked legal threats from the New York State Gaming Commission, who claimed the mark confused customers for affiliation or selling Lottery tickets.

A local attorney pushed back first, but things shifted when Covington & Burling — a global firm specializing in First Amendment protection — stepped in. Their position was simple:

this design is parody protected as free speech — from the MetroCard typography, to the “No trains, take the L” service-change graphics, to the subway car that always seems off-schedule, and of course… the word “Fuckery.”

After that response?

Silence.

Consider it a David vs. Goliath moment — New York style.

To honor the win, every New York Fuckery tee ships with an extra gift inside.

Wear it like a badge of honor.
