I'm actually surprised that the Bucks didn't shelve them once NBA twitter pointed out the connotation. Especially given all they've done locally to fight bad/corrupt law enforcement The domestic violence component seems rather indirect but I agree with that the single blue stripe has a possible connotation of condoning police brutality. Also their secondary color is supposed to be red...and even purple worked...and here we have blue apropos of nothing?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apropos of the Milwaukee city flag and a Nike 'city uniform' or whatever it's called. I'm not trying to defend the use of the color (because the Bucks ought to be green and red or rainbow green), but I am pointing out that I think your statement is incorrect regarding the 'fitness' of blue.

BBTV Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I thought the cleaverjack was as far from the original point of the thread as we could go, but taking a discussion about the WFT rebrand to an insinuation that the Bucks citi-edition uniform condones police brutality takes it to a level never before achieved. With a tear in my eye, I can honestly say that I'm so proud of you guys - excellent work! 17 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

MilSox Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 3 hours ago, dont care said: There is really no similarity between the 2 unless you are looking to make it an issue They unvieled those jerseys just a couple of months after the Milwaukee PD was caught on video assaulting a Bucks player, Sterling Brown. It just seems odd to me that for as much as this sort of thing is focus grouped by modern sports franchises that either no one pointed that out or that they didn't just go in a different direction. Especially given how little blue actually figures into their overall look to begin with. 3 hours ago, jn8 said: Ah yes, the “I disagree with this viewpoint so it must mean those people are evil and beat their wives” defense. I love modern society. I don't care to get too much further into it as this is way off topic at this point, but the 40 percent domestic abuse rate amongst law enforcement officers is real, and that's just the cases we know about. A lot of us who lived that experience never saw any kind of justice thanks to the sort of people who made the blue line their symbol. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Giannis winning the ring in the black jersey was unfortunate (I like the design, though. If they recolored the stripes i'd be down with it). Police brutality? Really? The Bucks designed those city jerseys way before the Brown incident occured. How were they supposed to know that would happen? Just because they wear a color you don't like doesn't mean you can associate it with something that is actually criminal. If that's the case, "the Bucks thowbacks (and 76ers, and Wizards, and Raptors...) should be canceled also, because they wear red lines, and I'm sure they thought about the racist "red-lining" of African-Americans in many cities and neighborhoods before designing them." Do you see how crazy that sounds? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sympathize with what you went through but at the same time I agree with @LA Fakers+ LA Snippers about the blue in the Bucks' uniform. I don't think it's meant to reflect the "blue line" symbol used by policing. It's just a bad attempt at trying to the city flag and Great Lakes imagery into the team's colour scheme. We need to step back and understand that, despite the best intentions of designers and apparel companies to tell us otherwise, it's never that deep. 12 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
