The Finals Game 6: We are the Champions my friend(s)!

[Badgerlander]

Still haven't gotten **** from the Bucks Pro Shop in case anybody was wondering! Honestly have never encountered this level of ineptitude in the retail world, and that includes the time I was delivering sandwiches and drop-kicked one of them in a customer's backyard. Practically begging a Bucks Pro Shop employee to come take a dump on my front steps at this point, any form of attention is welcome.

If it makes you feel any better I searched around for a month after we won looking for stuff I might like and then gave up and bought stuff just to have it and it’s all still in the bag sitting on my dresser as I continue to wear the gear that I like. I’d have paid stupid money for really nice gear (and still would) but it never came out, just the cheap crap.

just got handed the responsibility of getting rid of 4 tickets for opening night (older relative doesn't know how any of this works..)

5th row uppers, face value, will sell in groups of two. pm if interested!

edit: tickets have been claimed.

Kohl’s stores in the Milwaukee area have their Fanatics Bucks championship t-shirts on clearance right now. They had most or all that I remember seeing online. Like $21 a piece and a bunch of sizes. Got a couple extras of what I already have, and finally got the Bucks in 6 shirt too.

I have a 7 hour layover in Phoenix today and I simply can’t not show up in championship gear.

After 50 years, Bucks Champions in 2021. When next? Hope not when Giannis turns 76.

By the way, I wonder if anyone in this forum knows of anybody who saw them win in 1971 in the stadium and then again in the fiserv in 2021.

Maybe Kareem?

The winning game in 1971 was in Baltimore. I was listening on the radio -- does that count?

That is the suck. My wife and I got our shirts weeks ago already.

Does anyone know if it exists and if not, a way to get game 6 in its entirety with Ted Davis’ call over the footage?

[emunney]

Kind of rooting for the Bucks to get their rings before my son gets his shirt at this point. My son didn't do **** to earn that, he can't even dunk

I'm wearing my championship gear every day.

Just do it! And count obnoxiously your dollar bills to everyone up to six.

Great idea, I’ll do the same during my layover there this Friday. The best part is one of my best friends lives there and we’re meeting him at the airport. He’ll be annoyed but he’ll never admit it.

Remember when LeBron played in his 2nd Finals when he was the age Giannis was against the Suns?

[emunney]

Giannis scored almost twice as many points against the Suns as LeBron scored against the Mavs (211 vs 107). How am I just now noticing this?

Also how do I KEEP underestimating Giannis' ceiling?

[Ron Swanson]

It's a shame that all the talk from those Finals naturally focused on Lebron's Ben Simmons-esque mental collapse, and took away from how legendary Wade was in that series. He really should have been a 2-time Finals MVP.

Yea, but the Mavs had notorious LeBron stopper J.J. Barea. Giannis didn't have to deal with any of that ****.

Living in Maryland and working there and in Chicago, it's a Lot easier now to tell folks I'm a Bucks fan. They used to all look at me like I was crazy - especially Bulls fans - they thought the elevator wasn't going up to the top floor - Imagine that. I know, right?

I know this isn't championship memorabilia, but everyone's stories of bad quality and shipping delays scared me off and I went looking elsewhere. I ordered this from a site called Homage, it came today (~2 weeks total from order to arrival), and it's awesome.

Now that I've seen the site is quality, I'm absolutely ordering more. They have some great designs.

I guess I'll go the other way on Homage. I ordered this Bucks in Six tee and while it's fine, and I wear it, I'm not in love with the quality (to say the least). I used to have a very specific style for my tees and hoodies (boring), but in the last year I've ordered a ton of gear with prints that I enjoy. The homage tee is definitely in the bottom 5% in terms of quality. That it was $34 for a tee is pretty insane. In fact, I think literally all the championship gear I bought (that tee, another tee, and a hoodie, all from Fanatics) were pretty sh*tty. Haven't worn the hoodie or the other tee.

ETA: That said I just noticed Fanatics has most of their Bucks championship on clearance. That $34 tee in the link is like $12. I ordered three tees and a hoodie for like $65. Not anticipating great quality, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I had a cup of tea in the promo industry. Long story short, most of the stuff they print on is bottom level garbage. There's a lot of repurposed Gildan stuff out there with new tags put on. The best way to avoid it is to know a few of the brands and inquire what the blanks actually are and then do our research around that. That looks like a two color screen print. The overhead on 10 of those is probably $44 bucks if you're not printing in-house. If you're printing in house, it's a lot less.

There's a reason when stuff like this happens you see a lot of vendors just putting out random t-shirts. It's because they have to sell a handful to get their money back. A lot of the stuff on the internet isn't different from the guys hawking them outside of the arena. They just have a website that looks ok.

That's a good call. There's one merch brand that I've literally bought 20 tees and two hoodies from in the last year because I absolutely love the quality of the gear. They recently had a 30% off site-wide sale and I basically bought one of everything I didn't already have. I should find out where those blanks are from. I used to be in a small fantasy league with the owner, he might actually help me out.
