The number 8 isn’t just a digit—it’s a heavyweight champion in the sports arena. Picture this: Lamar Jackson, the NFL’s electrifying MVP, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s beloved icon, both laying claim to this numeral like it’s the last slice of pizza at a Super Bowl party. Yep, it’s getting spicy. But what’s the issue here? See, Jackson (known for his Era 8 brand), challenged the NASCAR legend’s attempt to trademark a stylized version of the number. The reason?
Well, the Ravens‘ QB believes that this move could blur the lines between their brands, leading to potential confusion. The kicker? Oh, it’s not Jackson’s first rodeo. Oh no. He previously contested similar trademark bids from none other than the Cowboys legend, Troy Aikman. And to make this all interesting, Aikman has just entered the chat now.
Let’s cut to the chase. On Saturday, Sports Illustrated posted a picture on their IG handle about the ongoing dispute between Jackson and Earnhardt and reported that the two had resolved their conflict. “Dale Earnhardt Jr., Lamar Jackson bury hatchet in brief trademark dispute,” they wrote in their post. And that’s where Aikman comes in.
See, right after all that went down, Aikman commented on that post, and let’s just say the NFL legend gave advise to the Ravens QB, writing, “Lamar getting bad counsel. (I) Went through the same legalities with him. Who’s next?” He commented. And to make this spicier, he recently shared it on his IG story as well. Guess too many players are eight-ing in here, right?
This is a developing story. Stay Tuned!
