Man bids to sue Ronaldo over undies

Christopher Renzi sued the Real Madrid forward and a Danish underwear maker in July after being told of their plan to use the phrase “CR7” to sell underwear in the US. Ronaldo is known as CR7, a combination of his initials and his jersey number for Real Madrid and Portugal, and he sells CR7 underwear and clothing in Europe. Renzi, however, owns the trademark in the US.

Renzi had until the end of November to notify Ronaldo of the lawsuit, but his lawyer said this week they haven’t been able to track him down. In the meantime, lawyer Michael Feldhuhn said he’s keeping an eye out for CR7 underwear being sold in the US.
