Per ESPN's Jamison Hensley, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson filed an opposition claim with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week to prevent NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. from using a stylized No. 8 on merchandise.

Jackson, who has worn No. 8 since his college days at Louisville, previously registered the trademark “ERA 8 by Lamar Jackson.” His latest claim argued that Earnhardt’s attempt to trademark that particular version of No. 8 would create confusion among consumers.
