Chad Johnson changed his name because his football number is 85 and he wanted to put his number in words above his number on his jersey. The person said no when he asked and the only exception was if he bought a million dollar jersey that had the number 85 and the words on top but he didn't want to buy it so he changed his name to Chad Ochocinco and therefore the words are above his jersey as he wished.
