Stephen Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, is making moves off the court. After a standout performance at the Summer Olympics, where Team USA defeated France 98-87 in men’s basketball, Curry used his now-famous “night, night” celebration after sinking four three-pointers in the final minutes of the game.
Following that moment, Curry decided to protect the phrase by filing trademark applications for “nuit, nuit,” which means “night, night” in French. He has applied for the trademark in both Europe and the United States.
Trademark attorney Josh Gerben shared the news, highlighting Curry’s intent to use the phrase on clothing. Darren Rovell from Cllct added that Curry’s company, SC30, filed for the trademark in Europe on August 14 and in the U.S. on August 19. Since Curry is the first to file, he has a clear path to securing the rights to the phrase.

Curry was even spotted wearing a “Nuit, Nuit” hoodie shortly after his game-winning shot, which was designed by art director Mike Fogg.

"NUIT. NUIT."
The filings, made in the past several days, come after Fanatics released a shirt with Curry's picture and the words "NUIT NUIT" appearing under it.#teamusa #usabasketball #stephencurry pic.twitter.com/HbRR4KX2Ky
Fogg mentioned that the design was initially a one-off and wasn’t meant to be sold widely, but it gained popularity quickly, leading to bootleg versions and official merchandise.

It feels impossible to describe this one. Back in June, I had an incredible opportunity to create a few custom clothing designs for @StephenCurry30 for this year’s Paris Olympics, a dream.
