Associated Press Chad Ocho Cinco will keep his dual identity for the rest of the season. The Cincinnati receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson said Thursday he’ll wear his old name on the back of his uniform for the rest of the year. It would have cost him a lot of money to make the switch. The Pro Bowl receiver legally changed his name to Ocho Cinco last August. Reebok had a large inventory of jerseys with his old name ready for sale. The league respected the receiver’s name change, but said he couldn’t wear “Ocho Cinco” until he compensated Reebok for the old jerseys that would now be a tough sell.
