Anthony Davis files trademarks for unibrow phrases ahead of NBA draft
If you don't know Anthony Davis from his crushing performances while playing basketball for the University of Kentucky, you likely recognize his face.
Okay, let's be honest, you likely recognize his unibrow.
At nearly any Kentucky game it was never hard to spot fans supporting and pulling for Davis while wearing unibrow T-shirts or even glasses with a unibrow attached - even his mom wore one.

Which is perhaps why Davis, who is a hot commodity and is expected to be picked first in the NBA draft on Thursday, is recognizing a moneymaking opportunity and seizing upon it.
Davis officially filed trademark requests with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the two best-known catchphrases associated with him: "Fear the Brow" and "Raise the Brow."
The trademark applications show he's filed trademarks for both phrases for practically everything from T-shirts to banners. Although it's normal for people to trademark slogans for everything under the sun, we had to chuckle when we saw that aftershaves, shaving preparation and skin cleansers were included on the list.
While Davis couldn't make any money off of the merchandise sold with his name or nicknames while playing in the NCAA, it's clear this likely top-choice player is making sure to get down to business ahead of the NBA draft and his likely stint on the U.S. Olympic team.
And it isn't a bad idea to get the ball rolling. Davis, if he plays anything like he did at Kentucky, is going to be a big draw wherever he lands. There's been plenty of speculation that he could get some top endorsement deals and be a Kevin Durant of sorts as he enters a stacked NBA field.
Many people over the course of his time at Kentucky have begged and pleaded with Davis to pluck away the unibrow. But in a way, it's come to define him and rally his fans behind him. So we're willing to bet that if he does get a big endorsement deal once he's in the NBA, it probably won't be with an eyebrow waxing company.
I came to this page after checking out the world's ugliest dog contest photos. I think I'll go back...
I prefer a woman with a one big brown eye.
why did the dude say he wasn't physically ready to play in the NBA? Why the hate?
Hasn't anyone noticed the resemblance between him and Joan Crawford... 'it's like the song "Betty Davis Eyes" only "he's got Joan Crawford Eyes"..
The writer should patent "Writing by Dummeez" for real.
Is that the guy that Ed Norton curb stomped?
he will be a bust in the nba
he will be worse than the recent trailblazers 1st overall pick that was released
10 years from now he will be regarded as 1 of the most over rated players ever
He should also file for crooked teeth.
Trademark those bottom incisal teeth to....that crowding is RIDICULOUS! Come see me soon Anthony Davis!
Did he also trademark those crooked a** yellow teeth?
Don't get too excited. He still has to earn his place among the big boys.
Trademark those brows, what a marketing failure. UGLY....
He should trademark those crooked teeph to go along wit da brow...What a joke....
I think Vicente Fernandez already had this patented 🙂
