NicDB Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Very impressive! I'm definitely curious to hear your take on the Bucks 90s changes. And not just because I'm sure you'll eviscerate them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicDB Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 That would certainly be a plot twist given all the ground you laid in part one. But you definitely hit on one of my frustrations with the Bucks brand. Historically, it's green, then toss a dart at a Crayola color wheel for the secondary color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely touch on that. My biggest frustration continues to be the lack of throwbacks and the inclusion of blue, but...well...I have a lot of beef with the Bucks whole look 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDB Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Do NOT get me started on the Christmas alts from last year... If you wanted to bring back the Irish Rainbow, just bring back the actual f-ing Irish Rainbow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicDB Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I marked out hard at 4:55 for all those retro Milwaukee TV ads. For me, the reason I loved the gradiented Bucks jerseys first and foremost was indeed the fact that they were green. The Bucks finally looked like the Bucks again, and the actual deer was incredibly cutting edge at the time. It was something that could hang with the Pistons and Suns who seemed to be on tv every week at the time. Great point about the Packers. Such a shame the Brewers dragged their feet for so long about returning to their classic brand. Now we have an entire generation of Brewers playoff highlights in those god awful Cheers jerseys that look nothing like the Brewers. I was really looking forward to hearing more about the current Bucks look. But I guess that's what part 3 is for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have a rough outline except the one bouncing around in my head. I generally agree with your comment about the recent Brewers switch being overall a good thing (logo variances aside) but in my opinion the Brewers still spent the last 18 years looking like the Brewers. They looked like a blue and yellow team with liberal use of classic throwbacks mixed in. If the Bucks spent 75% of the time looking like the Bucks (which is to say a red and green or a multi-colored green team) then I'd be a lot more forgiving of them doing random "Cream City" nonsense. Instead the Bucks are a team that wears whatever color of the rainbow they want in ATROCIOUS combinations. So the purpose of these videos is for me to take as much time as I need to to bury the Bucks for their gross incompetence in managing their brand. To do that I need to give a lot of other examples of what works and what doesn't work. I loved finding those commercials.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDB Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'll give you that... the Brewers still didn't destroy their brand the way the Bucks did. Unfortunately, thanks to all the special nike jerseys, the rest of the NBA is becoming more like the Bucks. And not in a good way. That aside, I absolutely love your brand. I grew up just south of Brady, but my mom worked on the Northwest side on the weekends. Spent a lot of time at Aladdin's Castle, Northtown Cinema, and Boy Blue because of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I’m just happy you didn’t bring up the incident that happened between MU and MU High School. I’m thoroughly enjoying the videos! You’re doing fantastic work with your various design & culture arguments, while also providing extensive amounts of context for the Bucks’ brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidDunn21 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Aladdin's Castle indeed! I was more of a Northridge guy for a while myself. What's the MU story? Thanks again for the feedback....it's more difficult (to me) than my normal sorta mini-documentaries that I sometimes do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Man...Aladdin's Castle...loved that place back in the day. In a bit of irony, across from its former Racine location is an Army recruiting office. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the blue barrels weren't a clue, I'll spell it out: The Oxford Apartments were right between Marquette and Marquette High School, IIRC. I thought about finding that spot, but good taste prevailed and I decided to leave it alone. Enough weirdos seek that site out (would be nice to have a memorial for the victims there, BTW). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvS's nazi war criminal past was always one of the worst kept local secrets. Up there with Herb Kohl being gay, and the Balistreri family making their money running booze for Al Capone. 20 hours ago, the admiral said: The stoic guy at the Brewers game, clapping at the 5:50 mark, that guy is the spirit of Wisconsin right there. I don't know about that. If anything, he's the guy who went sober 20 years ago and now resents anyone having the least bit of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 My family knew a Balistreri. One time we got some roasted eggplant from their stand at Summerfest and my cousin threw up in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 All Wisconsinposting on this board inevitably resolves to "yeah I know who you're talking about, he got in a fight with my friend outside Alpine Valley in 2003" or something, it's honestly one of my favorite things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
