Just wait till the Bucks become championship contenders and win a championship. Overnight, they'll become the most hated team and people will find reasons.

I hate it.

Harley is a cheesy company now, it's aimed at Dad's looking for a leather jacket to wear when they go to hard rock cafe.

plus they're very American, which is kinda cool for some teams but not the one that's marquee player is Greek and, if they actually do break out, no.2 will be Australian. I kinda love the bucks because, along with Denver, they have that international flavour to their line up which is something relatively new in the NBA.

Well Harley is a Milwaukee company that has a rich history. Its all about the Bucks who play in Milwaukee and not about the players. So not really sure what you mean here? Are we supposed to seek out like an Olive Oil company or something from Greece just because Giannis plays for the Bucks right now? Or should we look for a Vegemite sponsor to appease Thon?

SO much better, why would you put an orange logo on a white/green uni??

Reminds me of the Nets one before they wisely decided to change it to white/black.

Harley's function better in open road. Big markets lack that.

Not to mention that Wisconsin (like Pennsylvania & Detroit) is a VERY blue collar and VERY American State.

It would actually turn heads for an international company to be the first sponsored of them.

They DON'T play in Greece. Nor Australia. They play in America. Why would they NOT have an AMERICAN sponsor?! :-?

How would you feel if Olympiacos were sponsored by say...Kraft? :-?

Because nobody likes Captain Obvious threads.

Best player in the world typically the best player on the floor. More at 11. :reporter:

For some reason you seem to have little faith in the guy who was hired as GM who didn't even know he was a candidate which doesn't make our owners look like a bunch of **** morons or anything.

Your problem is Aaron Gordon.

The sponsor seems appropriate to the market and seems like a good choice, but the Orange on Green/White is a total eyesore.
