The proud owner of the trademark “Linsanity” has applied to expand his portfolio.

A quick-thinking Jeremy Lin fan filed for the trademark “Brook-Lin” on July 1, following Lin’s signing with the Nets, and subsequently transferred it to Lin, according to NetsDaily. The pending application on the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s website says the term “Brook-Lin” is to be used commercially for hooded sweatshirts, jerseys and T-shirts, among other items.

The journeyman point guard signed a three-year deal with Brooklyn during free agency, and is hoping for some stability on his sixth team in his seventh season in the NBA.

“It’s definitely annoying moving all the time,” he said on The Vertical podcast with J.J. Redick. “I’m used to it now. … I’m actually putting a lot into where I’m going to live. In the beginning, it was pretty hard.”

For a significant portion of the podcast, Lin — who showed up to his Nets introduction with new braids — and Redick discussed hair, taking turns ranking their top hair-dos in the league.

Lin ranked former Charlotte teammate Spencer Hawes first, saying; “I have to start with him obviously because he’s my flow bro. Spencer Hawes inspires me to take my hair to new levels.”

Lin rounded out his top four with the Thunder’s Steven Adams, the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard and bald Hornets coach Steve Clifford.

Lin revealed the main reason behind him joining the Nets was new head coach Kenny Atkinson, his former benchmate on the Knicks before Linsanity hit.

“If I were to be honest, if there was no Kenny there, I would not have even come close to considering joining,” Lin said. “That relationship is one of the more special relationships I’ve developed. It’s just something about going through the trenches together.”

Despite being satisfied with joining Brooklyn, Lin said he prefers living in his home state of California for three reasons: proximity to family, the beach and In-N-Out Burger.
