    His story is pretty funny:

    Don't forget Karlos Williams, SR. He added "SR" to his jersey mid-season after having a son.

    Titus Young did the same thing.

    If Trey Griffey makes the NFL, I'm guessing he'll use the III as well...

    Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but he's been Jackie Bradley Jr. to folks since his youth baseball days and from the first day of his high school baseball career. It's not like he became known and decided to add the Jr.
    Sure, it isn't necessary like Griffey or Earnhardt, but if you're willing to call the former Braves 3B "Chipper" for 25 years, I don't see what the big deal is. At least Jr. is on his birth certificate (I assume ... it's on mine).

    The jersey is what drives me nuts. As noted previously on this thread (and elsewhere), Robert Griffin III's last name is not Griffin III. It's Griffin.

    What drives me nuts is how 99% of broadcasters - grown men, no less - call him RG3.

    Marketing works on everyone, even grown men.

    He's got his own logo, after all.

    It takes a modest man to have his own logo.

    How's this one?
    I like the minimalism.

    Whoa, dude. Really? Couldn't be that they're proud to be a Jr.? Or that the golfers don't want to lose their identity after playing on the Tour under their former names for a while?


    Thank you!
