The XFL unveiled its new branding on Wednesday in a video that featured the word "together" in between the letter "X" but a media and commerce company founded by Olympians Sue Bird, Chloe Kim, Simone Manuel, and Alex Morgan claim the new logo is similar to that of their brand "Togethxr."

Olympic gold medalist Alex Morgan posted a side-by-side of both logos, pointing out the similarities between the two.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I guess? Shout out to my team at Togethxr for creating a badass brand name, logo, and background story that resonates for so many."

Bird’s fiancee, U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe, suggested on Twitter that Johnson is facing a cease and desist over the new branding.

Johnson has yet to respond publicly over the claims of his design that he says represents the "intersection of dreams and opportunity."
