Re: RGIII Named Starter
I was just in my friends shop here in Fredericksburg and the NFLPA RG3 shirts are already out in the retail world. They didn't waste any time.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
He wears a rib protector and I'm pretty sure all QB's today wear a rib protector. Can't think of any off the top of my head that don't wear one.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
^ Yep. Why would he need one for a photo shoot? Relax, people.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
Griff making another smart move...trademarking his name and the variations of it.
Report: RGIII trademarks name, 'Unbelievably Believable'

Re: RGIII Named Starter
Didn't Lavar try something similar, and nearly got in a fight with the NFLPA because they have some sort of rights agreement. I probably am the only one, but I think this is a misstep. One of those legal savvy PR bad moves that may end up hurting him (think Bentley only bigger)

Lavar's situation is completely different, he had no nickname/moniker to protect.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
Arrington didn't want his name used for jersey sales unless he got a bigger cut. I think this situation is different.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
I can see how they would grant a trademark for RG3 & RGIII, but he certainly can't be the only person in history named Robert Griffin III?
Does that mean if my name is Robert Griffin, my son and grandson can't have that name? |

Re: RGIII Named Starter
Pretty sure it's just for RGIII, RG3, etc. as it pertains to his likeness.
