Kai Trump, the 18-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump, has started her own clothing line, but people are already criticizing her first collection harshly. Just a few days after showing off her KT Signature line, people are saying that she stole the logo from NFL star Travis Kelce's clothing line.

People had been talking about her announcement as a big step in her career, but the release of her sweatshirts has been overshadowed by comparisons to Kelce's "Tru Kolors" brand. The controversy has quickly spread on social media, with both sides commenting on how similar the two things are.

What is the KT Signature line by Kai Trump?

Last Thursday, Kai Trump officially launched her KT Signature line, which includes $130 pullover sweatshirts in navy, white, and black. She posted 12 promotional photos on Instagram, some of which were taken in front of the White House. She modeled the line herself, as per a report by The Mirror.

She posted to her 2.2 million followers while showcasing the item, “This collection is something I've dreamed about for a long time.”

"From the quality of the fabric to the details in the designs, I wanted to create a piece that isn't just merch but a staple you can wear anywhere. There are clean pieces you can mix, match, and make your own. I can't wait to see how you style them,” as per a report by The Mirror.

Why are fans saying her logo is like Travis Kelce's?

The most criticism is about her embroidered logo, which is a big T behind a K. A lot of people say it looks a lot like Kelce's initials "TK," which he used in his Tru Kolors line with American Eagle. Like Kelce's collection, Kai's pieces also have the monogram on the wrist, as per a report by The Mirror.

One person on social media quickly wrote, “The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” "Kai Trump used Travis Kelce's Tru Kolors logo for her $130 sweatshirt's logo."

Another person said, "Trump's granddaughter Kai stole his logo idea to sell $130 sweatshirts on property owned by taxpayers."

What other things has she been criticized for?

People were also worried about Kai's business model, in addition to the logo issue. Customers are being charged in advance for goods that haven't been made yet, which raises questions about when they will be delivered. Some people also pointed out that she used Trump family resources to promote the line. For example, Kai was seen wearing the sweatshirts on Trump's private plane to the Ryder Cup and while golfing with him at his club, as per a report by The Mirror.

Her sweaters cost $130, which is more than Kelce's wool-cashmere blend sweaters, which cost $99.99.

What does this mean for her first fashion show?

Kai's entry into fashion was supposed to be a way for her to go her own way, but the claims that she copied Kelce's brand have put her launch in a bad light. The KT Signature rollout shows both the chances and the dangers of starting a well-known brand with the Trump family name.
