Some of the NFT community claimed it was an unauthorized use of the image. However, Old Navy’s product site indicates that the image on the shirt has been licensed, The owner of this BAYC is clearly an enthusiast, as theyownsix other BAYCs, 11 Mutant Apes and 20 Otherdeeds, along with two Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs.
