In Bushwick, "Brooklyn Pets" is the latest to echo the Nets' logo

Well, it's not the first business to adapt the black-and-white Brooklyn Nets logo, since I do remember the apparently now-closed Brooklyn Cutz in Coney Island--see photo at right.

And there surely have been more.

But this year we got the rhymingly-named Brooklyn Pets in Bushwick. Its first review was in March 2021, as was its first Instagram post. 

I don't think anyone confuses the store with an endorsement from the team, so I'd consider the name and logo more an homage than an appropriation.
