Reebok Says No to Chad's 'Ocho Cinco' Jersey
No para ir Ocho Cinco
Wondering why Chad Ocho Cinco was still Chad Johnson on Sunday?
Everyone knows the reason Bengals receiver Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco was so he could have "Ocho Cinco" on the back of his jersey. Even though the NFL is cool with that, Reebok, the company who makes the jerseys for the league isn't. According to Darren Rovell at CNBC, any athlete who chooses to change their number or name on their jerseys, they have to do it months before the season starts. The problem is, Reebok has already produced a thousands of jerseys that say "C. Johnson" on the back and there's a ton more on store shelves.
What to do?
Apparently Chad may have the option of buying all of his old jerseys at cost (about $48) so that Reebok can start producing the new jerseys. A source close to Reebok told Rovell that there may be more than 100,000 jerseys in stock and in stores. That's roughly $4.8 million if he wanted to buy out his old jersey.
At this point, Reebok needs to take the loss. They're not going to sell any more "C. Johnson" jerseys with fans knowing the player changed his name, but they will definitely sell out of "Ocho Cinco" jerseys. If not, fans will most likely cop a bootleg on eBay.

Ocho Cinco: It's official
The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week, according to several media reports. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn’t return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.
“It’s something I don’t think anyone has ever done before,” he told the team’s Web site. “Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I’m having fun.”
Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker – a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 – and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis – who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts – referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”
Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the Bengals had no comment on the matter. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became of... more -
