Derek Jeter reportedly didn't want his luxury underwear line pitched to the gay market.

The allegation was made in a cross-complaint against the Yankee icon filed Monday in Delaware by Swedish underwear company Frigo.

"(Jeter) demanded that (Frigo) not market to the gay community and states that he did not want the Frigo brand to be 'too gay,'" the paperwork first reported by TMZ.com said.

Jeter, 41, has been locked in a multimillion-dollar legal battle with Frigo over claims he backed out of a deal to promote the swanky skivvies.

He's being sued by the company in Sweden and filed his own lawsuit against Frigo, also known as RevolutionWear, in Delaware last month.
