there were too many similarities between the

attended UCLA and both wore the #33. He felt
that Y was making profits and sponging off the
name and number he made famous in the 1970s.
He won a court order that required Y to drop the
"X" name off his jersey. In addition, all Dolphins
jerseys with the "X" name and #33 were
immediately pulled from the shelves and
merchandising catalogs. Y complied and had his

because of X, but because of former Dallas
Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett. After the
lawsuit, he changed his name in 2000.
