"Fear the Deer"
Seriously?

"Fear the Deer"
Seriously?
Are you not aware that "Fear The Deer" has been the Bucks' slogan for the last few years?

So that's what the saying "Ignorance is Bliss" is all about. My bliss be gone.
I did know the one about "a deer in headlights".
They should rebrand that team. That whole deer thing is lame.
Maybe they could call them the Seattle Sonics

That image, you can tell it is an artist rendering....it looks like all the seats are filled.

What? Deers certainly inspire fear. You have obviously never met anyone who has struck a deer with their car.
They don't need to rebrand the Bucks so much as they do add a sub-slogan. "Fear the Deer: We'll f*ck up your ride!" The Bucks could even add a vehicle as a second mascot and have him slam into Bango during timeouts.
EDIT: Just watched the video and those alternate uniforms are terrible! TURRBLE! Fear the uniform is more like it

And right on cue, one of the commenters on jsonline complained that there were no people of color portrayed in the stands.

That reminds me of that ad shown in Milwaukee a while back about drunk driving. It showed a bunch of men being pulled over by cops for drunk driving. Feminists claimed that it was sexist that there were no female drunkards ("Hey! We break the law, too, you know!!")
You losers all suck. The Bucks are the most exciting young franchise in the league. Dare I say that the average age of the impact players is younger than my MU Senior son. New ownership has been outstanding and MKE has become a sought after destination for free agent players. 'Fear the deer, bitch!'
OK, Glow and Chick...I have a question for you two lovebirds.
So how does this work since you are in the same thread and posting relatively close in timing? Do you each have a laptop and there is a dueling posting thing going on? Or is it the same computer, one does their thing...leaves the keyboard, the other comes in to post?

I'll believe it when I see it, but I don't think MKE will be a highly sought destination for free agents. Some, for the money, but not the cream of the crop elite. I'm happy to admit being wrong on this, but we'll see.
I think the new uniforms are great. The team name is fine. Something different that actually makes sense in our neck of the woods.
The Fear the Deer slogan may be lame but it's just as clever as almost every other team slogan. And the team overall is on its way to being a contender.
What's up with all the Bucks hate? This board is puzzling sometimes.
Looks good.
The Bucks rebranding is quite the thing, they've retained a popular Brooklyn artist and there is a lot of buzz with the most important younger demographic.
This is the same demographic MU has been very influential with with their uniforms.

Well, in this particular case, Glow and I are not in the same city right now. But yeah, there have been times were he has been online upstairs and I have PMed him through Facebook rather than getting off the couch to tell him something.

Ever notice that in all commercials for security products (alarm systems, etc.), the burglars/attackers/ are exclusively white maies?

Cream of the crop elite? Perhaps not. But what players fitting that description, outside of Lebron James, leave the team that drafted them? The Bucks have a young core. Giannis is still only 21 and is a budding super star. If Parker comes back from his injury, he could be a Glenn Robinson type player. The Bucks have inherent advantages in keeping those players. If they continue to draft well, and add Greg Monroe type free agents, they will be very competitive. Good enough to get by Lebron in the east? Probably not. But who is?
I stand corrected on the 3rd tier, but my end zone seats just got a lot better!

As someone that has been involved in making commercials for the last 20 years I can tell you why that is, but I suspect you already know. 8-)

Because all of the would-be black burglars have been stopped and shot for having a "broken taillight?"

Then admit it. Greg Monroe chose Milwaukee over the Knicks. Same offers were on the table.
The Bucks have a great young core that will be fun to watch.

As a Bulls fan, the Bucks are the only team in the next 5 years that have the potential of dethroning LBJ in the East.

Greg Monroe is an elite free agent? That's what I stated...cream of the crop type free agents.

He was offered a max contract by two teams and was considered the best free agent during the off season.
If that isn't elite, I'm not sure what is.

Chico's, not only that, but in commercials for most any product, when one person has the good version (the sponsor's product) and another has the inferior one, it is rarely if ever the "person of color" that has the inferior product. A friend of mine once pointed it out to me a few years back, and I've noticed since that it seems to be true. Is that a real thing or am I just imagining it?

That's exactly where I was going. For the first time in decades, the Bucks are an attractive franchise. First Kidd, then Monroe. You youngsters might not know that they were routinely a Top 3-4 Eastern team throughout most of the 70s and 80s, even post Kareem. It's been fun watching them become relevant again.

Once I was watching television with a friend of mine in the advertising business when a commercial for Popeye's came on. In the commercial, the "director" of the commercial had to yell "Cut" because the "stage manager" (who was African American) walked into the frame and helped himself to a drumstick from the box the spokesperson was holding.
My friend, astonished, said, "I can't believe they did that! I can't believe that Popeye's is airing a commercial in which a black guy is
stealing fried chicken -- and from a white guy!"
I don't know if she was the only one who noticed it, but I don't ever recall seeing that particular commercial again.
What level are the skybox's? one above the lower bowl, one above 2nd level? none above the 3rd level?
I think the renderings look cool. I'm excited to watch Warrior basketball there.

Have seen vomit sinks in the bars/restaurants in Poland, replere with the universal projectile puking symbol. Right next to the baby changing table.

Agreed. I am actually a Wolves fan, but I love watching the Bucks. That team is so long and athletic (insert joke from the usual suspects), it is amazing.
Sconnies should love the Bucks.

In the end they'll probably put a more muted color on the seats so it's not as obvious when they're empty.

I still think the trade to get him was a good move because 1) I wasn't/am not a Knight fan (though he's a billion times the player that Jennings is...thank you Pistons, and for Middleton, and for taking Irs off of our salary cap so we could afford Moose...dang, the Pistons are very generous) and 2) it's better to get somebody who at the very least could potentially contribute to the future than to have someone just walk when last year wasn't going to be our season anyways.
Having said all that, MCW is a PG who looks to score first despite being a guy who's going to shoot 40% from the field and 25% from the 3 point line while having a 1.75/1 A:T ratio. Those are very poor numbers from a point guard. In order to win a title you need either a top flight point guard or a true superstar that can completely will a team to a championship. I wasn't sure that the Bucks were going to have that player, but while he's not there yet, the jump that Giannis took from last year to this year is very promising. If he can continue that progression then a top 10-15 point guard will do (MCW is not that and never will be). If not, then the Bucks will need a top 5-10 point guard at the very least.
