Johnson”. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped the label off the jersey to reveal the usual “C. Johnson”.[84] According to ESPN, Johnson was fined $5,000 for the stunt despite the fact that he did not wear the “Ocho Cinco” name tag during the game.
Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ochocinco on August 29, 2008. The Cincinnati Bengals decided to allow him to have it on the back of his jersey, though Ochocinco continued to wear his old “C. Johnson” jersey during the 2008 football season,[88] because of contractual obligations with Reebok. He played with “Ochocinco” on the back of his jersey from the 2009 season to the 2011 season.
