Cowboy nation should tell Lamar about the real 8

Shocker.....the energy in this thread misses the point that Troy Aikman is being accused of stealing (bootlegging) Lamar Jackson's renditions and marketing of "8".

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40592937/lamar-jackson-troy-aikman-number-8-trademark

Jackson's attorney says his trademarks of these sayings using the number were registered before Aikman's "Eight" and that the products from Aikman's company are "highly similar in sound, appearance, connotation, and commercial impression" to Jackson's trademarks

Didn't Aikman have an Eight tequila or something way back when?

He has a beer line

Regardless, with or without your defense of his dumb try, he will lose as he should.

Cowboys QBs stay losing these days.

So says the Eagles fan that said he is now a Texans fan. But yet here you are still putting down everything and anything that the Dallas Cowboys do.

I won’t pretend to defend stupidity.

This is stupidity on Aikmans part.

If he was an Eagle you’d agree.

Actually I would agree with it, regardless what team.

We all believe you.

Difference is Aikman has an actual business reason for the trademark.

He can only legally trademark a stylized and unique logo featuring a number 8. He won't successfully be able to establish a trademark on simply using a number 8.

Jordan has done it too

And he also does not care what you think.

He doesn't own the trademark for the number 23, only unique stylized logos featuring it. I can make a product and call it "23" all I want legally as long as my logo doesn't look like his.

If Aikman is doing it for his business, I can kind of see the reason. That said, a number is just that. It's a number.

This would be like Dak trademarking "pick six" or "crushing interception" or "folds under pressure."

Tell him what exactly?

Troy Aikman has significantly more pick sixes my friend and thrown significantly less passes.

Aikman has 3 rings and a gold jacket. His career speaks for itself. Anyone disparaging his career has a loose screw and knows nothing about football.

Dak is a career stat padder and loser....... not even close to being in Aikman's class.

Lamar Jackson the enigma.
