A Homeland Security visit to a Missouri lingerie shop ended with agents confiscating panties the owner designed with the logo of the Kansas City Royals, the local baseball team. 

Several dozen pairs of underwear were hauled away after agents from the federal department paid a visit to Birdies Panties shop in Kansas City on Tuesday, The Wichita Eagle reported.

"They came in and there were two guys," owner Peregrine Honig told the newspaper. "I asked one of them what size he needed and he showed me a badge and took me outside. They told me they were from Homeland Security and we were violating copyright laws."

The underwear, in the boyshort cut, has the words "Take the Crown" on the back with the letters "KC" enlarged in the middle, which Honig drew herself in honor of her hometown team that is currently playing in the World Series.

But the agents said because she connected the "K" and the "C," the design is too similar to the Royals logo and therefore poses a Major League Baseball copyright infringement, The Wichita Eagle reported.

"We just thought it was something funny we could do," Honig told the newspaper.

Officials made Honig sign a statement promising not to use the logo and placed the underwear in a designated Homeland Security bag.

Though Honig and her store partner Danielle Meister were spooked by the visit, they noted the agents were nice about it.

Meister could tell "they felt like they were kicking a puppy," she told the newspaper.   

It is not clear how league officials caught wind of the Lucky Royals boyshorts. They did not immediately return the newspaper's request for comment.
