Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson filed a lawsuit against Amazon on Wednesday, claiming the retail conglomerate is selling unlicensed merchandise using his trademarks, name, image and likeness.

The NFL MVP is seeking compensation for the damages he claimed Amazon “inflicted upon him and his” company Era 8 Apparel, ESPN reported citing the lawsuit. Jackson also wants “the court to require Amazon to count sales it generated from merchandise that features Jackson's name, image or likeness and ban the website from offering such items without authorization,” according to the suit.

“Amazon is deliberately attempting to confuse and deceive the public that the infringing items are affiliated or endorsed by Lamar Jackson as a part of his brand to commercially exploit Lamar’s celebrity and notoriety for significant profit,” Ritter Chusid LLP, the law firm representing Jackson, said in a statement to the Baltimore Sun.

Jackson wants the apparel featuring “Lamarvelous,” “Action Jackson” and “Not bad for a running back” taken down from Amazon.
