Because it's a memento or in the Knicks colorway. It's just. It's my dickhead merch flex hat. Like, it's the logo for the result for the hotel. Yeah. There. There's an abundance of letters that are not necessary since it's just lpv, which. And I don't know why there's so many, but there's like four V's.
