Last week, right after ESPN and Penn Entertainment released its new logo for ESPN BET, BroThrow CEO Brady Sharp got a text from a friend. "Check this out," it read. "I think it looks a lot like yours." BroThrow is a social sports betting site that operates in 50 states as a peer-to-peer bet matching system that takes no vig. Both logos have a "B" outline with decal inside and feature an identical mint green color. "The problem is it's not like we are a single hardware store in Iowa," Sharp said. "We're in the same [business] category."
