Question

Will the back of chad johnsons's jersey read "ocho cinco" during games for now on?

Answer 1

we dont know yet but yeah that was his intention. roger goodell said he was looking into the matter but most likely, since it was a legal name change and the name wasnt a tramarked product it should end up being allowed and carson palmer wont be able to rip off his real name plate

Answer 2

Yes, he had it changed specifically for that reason. During a practice he put tape over his jersey that said "ocho cinco". In response, knowing it was a violation of the NFL's code of uniform, QB Carson Palmer ripped off the tape. So Chad had his named changed just for that reason.
