Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Bucks team got its
name from a contest where someone reasoned out that "Bucks are
spirited, good jumpers, fast and agile." From then on, the team was named
Milwaukee Bucks. The team captured the 1971 NBA title in just their third season of
existence, preceded by the New York Knicks and succeeded by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Some of the NBA Hall of Famers the team has produced are K.C. Jones, Kareem
Abdul Jabar, Oscar Robertson, and Moses Malone among others. In June 28, 2006,
the Bucks unveiled the team’s updated logo and color scheme. The team logo, the
third the team has had in their 38-year history, is a hard-hitting front view of
the head and shoulders of a white-tail 8-point buck on a triangular backdrop
atop stylized Milwaukee Bucks print. The Bucks have used green and
silver as their color since they introduced it in 1993. The purple jerseys they
used were replaced by deep red ones. The team uses green uniform for road games
and white jerseys for home games.
