PICTURE! Ocho Cinco Jersey it IS! Chad Johnson will wear an OCHO CINCO NFL jersey. Above is a photo prior to Johnson’s name change.

Chad Johnson who changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco will wear a “Ocho Cinco” jersey for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chad Johnson (as Chad Johnson) wore a “Ocho Cinco” name plate over his  “Chad Johnson” name in 2006. He got slapped with a fine and was told not to do it anymore.

Fast forward to 2008. Days ago, LALATE broke to you that Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco.

So now, moments ago, the NFL has confirmed that on September 7 Chad Ocho Cinco will wear an Ocho Cinco jersey as starting wide receiver.

The Bengals today put his name on the jersey and started switching all official documents.

Ocho Cinco led the NFL in receiving yards. Says the team moments ago:

“Effective today, the Bengals begin the process of listing the former Chad Johnson as Chad Ocho Cinco for all club business, per the legal change of his surname effected in Florida. The list of appropriate changes will include the player wearing the name Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey for Sunday’s season opener at Baltimore.”
