Though he hasn’t hit the big time yet, Kentucky Wildcats power forward Anthony Davis has already decided to keep his trademark look unique—by trademarking it.
The heavily-awarded athlete, who led the Wildcats to their eighth NCAA championship in March, has copyrighted his catchphrases “fear the brow” and “raise the brow,” a move which could win him considerable money in endorsement deals should he make tonight’s NBA draft.
“I don’t want anyone to try to grow a unibrow because of me and then try to make money off of it,” Davis explained to CNBC. “Me and my family decided to trademark it because it’s very unique.”
Up to now, NCAA rules have kept Davis from capitalizing on the look. Sports store The Blue Zone was actually the first to do so, selling “Brow” t-shirts and originally trademarking the “fear the brow” phrase. And many others attempted to cash in, according to University of Kentucky Associate Athletic Director for Marketing Jason Schlafer. “We sent a half a dozen cease-and-desist letters,” he said.
Davis has recently signed with Arn Tellem of the Wasserman Media Group. So far, he has signed a draft-night endorsement deal with Sprint’s NBA app for the Android, which would allow users to watch the event live on their phone.

Actually you do have a point there Derrick. But the whites are still pimping us all off in some way.
The silly Negroes are the ones who don’t even realize it!
OK back to the actually story here, who really gives a c**p about his uni brows? They’re hideous and not something that needs to be trademarked lol

If negroes (not Blacks), know these caucasoids are ‘pimping’ us, then they must want to sell their souls for them.
You can’t let somebody ‘pimp’ you, unless you are willing to ‘work’ for them. I ain’t no negro because I know the real deal, and a lot of negroes don’t want the Truth to be exposed. They have been treated so bad and disrespected, they don’t know no other way to be treated!
It’s amazing how they let these foreigners come into their communities and MAKE MONEY OFF OF THEM. But, when a Black man opens up a business, those jealous hearted, envious negroes will not patronize him.
Negroes suffer from HATERISM, which is self-hate for ones self and his fellow bretheren. I witness it EVERDAY from the young to the old. But,they will be at church this sunday praising their caucasoid lawd!
RELIGION IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF SLAVERY AND WHITE SUPREMACY.
White supremacy is not a problem for white children, it is a problem for Black and brown children. Some Blacks folks just don’t get it!

These caucasian universities and professional ball teams love to make money off these a*s-o-lets (athletes).
These caucasian sport casters always describe these ball players as having ‘good ATHLETIC ABILITY’, which are code words for “animal or horse-like n i g g a creatures”.
These negroes are nothing but slaves! They all have caucasian lawyers, women, and managers handling their money. During our forced enslavement Blacks were only allowed to play sports or entertain their overseerers.
HAS ANYTHING CHANGED TODAY?
