Chiefs Interesting tidbit on Ocho Cinco..

Valiant · 09-08-2008, 04:39 PM

Sorry if repost

The league said they would not allow it yet because of jersey requirements and stock issues in those jerseys.. Those issues arise when a player changes name or numbers..

But then someone pointed out there were some people on his team and many on other teams that changed names or numbers this year and the league allowed it??? Seems to me the league and Goodell are being very hypocritical and just going after Chad.. Now I think it is stupid what Chad is doing, but he has the right to do it..

Doesnt the NFL realize how many "Ocho Cinco" jerseys they could sell??

The way i understood it when it was announced yesterday was that he was indeed allowed to change his name ,but missed the deadline to do so. They have a final deadline so reebok can make the jerseys.He is still allowed to change his name on the jersey but he has to buy back all the overstock johnson jerseys first.

But they are only doing this to him though is the hypocrisy.. Players usually switch their numbers the last preseason game before the season starts..

I remember seeing a guy in a Randy Moss #18 Vikings jersey in Moss's rookie year. Apparently he wore that # in the preseason and had to switch once the season started.

Larry Johnson wore #34 in his early KC days.

Reebok is stupid. They'd make much more money selling Ocho Cinco jerseys than they would lose throwing away a shipment of Chad Johnson jerseys.

I still see people wearing their #25 Cromartie Jerseys and their #91 Merriman Jerseys.

They did the same thing to Keith Rivers this year. He was assigned 58, but wanted 55, which was worn by Ahmad Brooks. He only moved over to 55 after Ahmad Brooks was cut, resulting in him having to pay Reebok $11,000.

And then there's this story about Jerry Porter owing Reebok $210,000 to change his number: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2887504

The one question I have was not answered in that article. If they are going to charge the players for unsold jerseys are the players getting a cut from the jerseys sold? Somehow I doubt it. Seems to me like the risk of making the jerseys (and profiting thereby) should be on Reebok or whoever makes the jersey in question.

I thought I heard during the non-stop Farve circus a few weeks ago that players get something like 6% of sales of their jersey. They were talking about how much $$$ Farve was going to make off the sales of his new #4 Jets jersey.
