Milwaukee Bucks rebrand

DavidDunn21 · Post #1 » by **DavidDunn21** » Mon Mar 23, 2015 2:49 am

It would appear that new Milwaukee ownership is looking to put their own spin on the Bucks look. There are rumors of the red being jettisoned for blue.

At the same time, virtually every NBA team that had made recent changes has gone back to classic motifs and colors (Jazz, Pistons, Warriors, 76ers, Wizards, Hornets, etc...)

So the question is: Should the Bucks make the best of the green/white/red palette and perhaps update the Irish Rainbow look? Maybe bring back the spinning ball Buck logo?
Or should they simply go the Brooklyn route and start from scratch?

I've got a thing for the classic logos so to me nothing will ever top this.

I don't think the Hornets went far enough to be honest. Went with way, way too much purple and hardly any teal.

I liked the spirit of the Hornets rebrand more than the results. A couple of pinstripes might have made a big difference as well.

This is my point, though. At least you as a Hornets fan know that they got the colors right. Fan sentiment will no doubt move management to tweak those unis a few years from now to something better.

In my opinion, if the Bucks really OWN the Rainbow and Bango look, they can always tweak the uniforms throughout the years. If they go once again for a "new" look like this is the 90's....we'll be screwed.

Love those too! Still keeps green as a feature colour, but gets rid of that awful green/red combo that reminds everyone of Christmas Eve.

This is true, teal should have been the primary color and the road jersey, I thought it was a big let down.

First of all, purple is shared by Kings and Lakers, what made the Hornets colors so awesome and popular was the teal.
Secondly, purple **** sucks hahaha

Here's a possible road look:

Some love red and green, many hate red and green, but I like the idea of the traditional colors being maintained as an alternate:

That would look pretty sharp.

I think moving from red to simply white (as suggested previously) would be a positive move. Something similar to Michigan State. That dark green looks great, its the red that complicates it. Also need to look at simplifying that floor design, way too much happening there. I don't see a need to change the Bucks name or anything drastic like that.

Purple is really a horrible color on men

The problem with that is Boston already has that corner. Plus, this isn't college where you still see teams with only two colors. Teams generally have three or more colors. So I'm fine with multiple shades of green being used like was done in the 80's, but I think that a marginalized use of red is quite spiffy and distinctive.

And you're preaching to the choir about the awesomeness of the unis with the Buck right on the front.

Red and green is way too Christmassy for a team with a deer as their mascot. I would love for them to go back to purple.

Just green looks great too.

Meh on considering a blue trim switch, there's already 18 other teams that incorporate a variety of blue in their uniform.

(14 red)

Came here to post this. All the other ones are basic, this one I've considered distinctly unique among NBA jersey designs.

It says "our team is based on a woodland animal, hell yeah". The colors are great and it looks classic but fresh on both sides. Sometimes I select the Bucks as my team in 2k just to play in this jersey.

Should the Bucks:
