Lamar Jackson challenges Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s trademark claim of No. 8

The NFL quarterback's drive to win the battle of the famous No. 8s is racing on.

lol is Lamar Jackson retarded?

Why would he not oppose a trademark of his number?

Why would some hick car driver get a monopoly of the number 8? Lamar's team also opposed Aikman trying to trademark the number. Its the right business move.

He doesn’t have a monopoly of the number 8, he has trademarks applicable to two stylized versions, and Jackson is only challenging one of them.

The premise of the challenge is rooted in Lamar’s delusion that specific stylization of the number will create a false association between the two and cause confusions for consumers. He’s arguing the 8 on the current JR Motorsports car looks like the one on his uniform, which is fucking hilarious. Earnhardt Jr’s version is slanted to avoid shit like this.

”Ah shit, look at that model car. Is that number 8 supposed to represent Dale Jr. or Kobe Bryant? I CANT FUCKING TELL!” Lol.

The overlap and consumer uncertainty Lamar is asserting, never fucking happens.

 

[Chrit]

Trademarking a literal number is the most retarded shit ever.

 

[itskrisdude]

It’s common in NASCAR because stylized numbers are the brand identity. No one can stylize the number 3 like Dale Sr. without permission, because that image generates millions.

Wouldve thought the browns and jaguars would be higher. Guess jaguars haven't been around that long and browns worst years are post expansion team era.

Julio Jones was a super smart and talented football player, I enjoyed this compilation of him doing exactly that.

Cam Newton thinks the Carolina Panthers 2015 team “absolutely” should be celebrated 10 years later, despite failing to win Super Bowl 50.

Newton said he is most proud of the “authentic nuance” that the team brought to fans with the celebrations and excitement in Charlotte.

Via 4th and 1 with Cam Newton.

Yeah, i love the authentic nuance where he was afraid to dive on a loose ball in the Superbowl.

Not nearly as retarded as Lebron trying to trademark "Taco Tuesday," something he had absolutely nothing to do with.
