Shadojoker 1,723 Posted February 19, 2014 If the Bucks replaced the red with this tan/deer color then im for whatever. Even if they went back to the Alcinder/Robertson era jerseys just use the logo above! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee Noire 627 Posted February 20, 2014 Lee noire..the current look is good but its too Christmas-esque..just look like a holiday team! With the Buck it looks like a reindeer. Thats why I believe the general consensus feels. That and they have had better.While I will agree they have had better (the set illwauk posted) I just don't get the Christmas color angle. Sure red/green/white are associated with the holiday, but to use that as a base for disliking the current unis seems...unsubstantial. Not saying you feel that way but to those that do surely there is an argument against that has more weight. Personally I find that color scheme refreshing in a league that has a criminal lack of green. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,652 Posted February 20, 2014 Still prefer the Irish Rainbows, but yeah. I've never understood that either. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceCap 22,605 Posted February 20, 2014 No one goes "the Flyers need to change, their colours remind me of Halloween." Green, red, and white is a sharp look. While the initial Bucks set was very conservative I still think it's the best they've ever looked. The Irish rainbow look is probably the second best they've ever looked, in my opinion, but I think the green and red is more distinct as far as the NBA is concerned. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cappital92 46 Posted February 20, 2014 "The colors look like Christmas colors."Is that a bad thing? I thought most people liked Christmas. Anyways, while I want green and red to say, green and purple was underrated. I'm hoping the Jazz ditch the navy soon and replace it with purple. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j'villejags 2,291 Posted February 20, 2014 I love this uniform for the Bucks. I'd love to see them use it over their current set. I also think a green & metallic gold could be a good look. It's one of my favorite color combos in sports. I tried to mock one up: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j'villejags 2,291 Posted February 20, 2014 Green/gold too Celtics, no?Where's that image from?Slam Magazine. Someone on Reddit had scanned and uploaded a bunch of magazine photos like this a while back. Desmond Mason was always one of my favorite players so I saved the image. I can try to find the link for you if you're interested.Very true. That was an oversight on my part. I wasn't thinking about those green/gold alternates they have, not to mention the logo. I was mainly thinking of the Sonics when they come back.Edit: Here's the link, Gothamite: http://imgur.com/a/UMfXm 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 24,652 Posted February 20, 2014 NOW we're talking. Change the wordmark, whatever, but love the shades of green. Only thing I'd do is remove white. Just repeat the three shades of green, like this fantastic Ireland shirt: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see them spread the wealth (green=money=wealth=bad puns) throughout the league. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tBBP 2,736 Posted February 21, 2014 Does anyone know how the Bucks even hit upon the Irish rainbow pattern in the first place? I've long been curious about that.In their next branding life--well, provided there'll be one--that should really be a key element of their identity system again. (That is, if they take the time to actually develop one. That's a painstakingly intensive process, though, that involves a whole lot more than just logos and uniforms.) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Knicks wore them in the 1950s:Marquette drew a lot of attention for these in the early 1970s:The Bucks applied this to different shades of the same color, but I'm not sure they were the first to do that. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without knowing what year the Irish rainbow first showed up on the Bucks' uniforms, could it be that they pulled that idea from Marquette in the first place, but like you said, just chose to do it with three shades of the same hue? (I don't know--I'm just pulling guesses out of thin air over here.) However it happened, it did make for a very unique effect, especially since it's still being reminisced so fondly even to this day. But you know the popular adage: sometimes the best ideas happen by accident. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFGiants58 14,559 Posted February 21, 2014 According to the mothership, the first Irish Rainbow uniforms debuted in 1976/77, so it seems likely that the Bucks took considerable influence from the 70's Marquette look. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(That is, if they take the time to actually develop one. That's a painstakingly intensive process, though, that involves a whole lot more than just logos and uniforms.)A custom athletic uniform factory called Sand-Knit in Berlin, Wisconsin, now Ripon Athletic, makers of the Marquette sets of the '70s, created the pattern for the Astros' tequila sunrise in '75 and the Bucks' rainbow in '76. They still make uniforms for the Packers, Eagles, Raiders, Panthers… and many more. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
